お天気がコロコロ変わる珍しい一日でした。昨夜は雨風が強かったのに、朝になったら陽が差してお天気。喜んでいたら、昼すぎから雲行きが怪しくなって雨が降る気配。外を見ると雨が線のように降っていて、カフェにいらしたお客様も慌てて車へ傘を取りにいかれたり、しばらくすると、ビショビショの傘を畳んでカフェに入って来られるお客様。やがて、その雨も止んで曇った空の下では冷たい風が吹いていました。
大型連休中でもあり、定休日を返上してカフェを開けており、県内外から多賀大社へ参拝の方もたくさんお見えになるようで、お帰りにカフェに立ち寄ってゆっくりしていかれる方も結構いらっしゃり、ありがたいことと思いながら今日も頑張って乗り切りました。このところ予約は「いざなみランチ」がほとんどですが、ひとまわり大きいお膳にお皿を並べる「あさひや御前」の注文をいただきご用意しました。愛知県からのカップル。食事を楽しんでくださり、「ゆっくりできました」と喜んでくださったのが何よりの励みとなりました。
Today, It was a rare day which changes the weather many times in the day. We had heavy wind and rain last night, but it cleared up in the morning and had a beautiful sunlight. However, it turned cloudy in the afternoon and looked like it started to rain. When I looked outside through the window, the rain was falling quietly like thread. One of the couples rushed out to take their umbrella from their car. After a while, a customer who was drenched with rain came into the cafe. The rain stopped soon, and later a cold wind was blowing under the cloudy sky.
Since it is a long holiday from the end of April to May sixth in Japan, I decided to open my cafe during this term without taking any closing days. There are many visitors to Taga Taisha from inside and outside Shiga prefecture during this season. Some of them stop by my cafe and relax. By the way, when I have requests for lunch, most of them are Izanami-lunch (Bento style), but I was requested Asahiya-gozen this time and prepared for that. It is served with several classical dishes on the larger tray. The customers were a couple from Aichi. They enjoyed the meal and had a relaxing time in the Japanese room.
