About Teru Sushi Dealbhadh Taobh a-staigh Taigh-bìdh

'S e taobh a-staigh taigh-bìdh sushi a th' ann an Teru Sushi ann am Baile Kitakyushu, Iapan. Chaidh an t-àite 95 meatair ceàrnagach a chruthachadh le bhith ag ùrachadh ionad-ithe a bha ann mar-thà. Bidh aoighean a' tighinn a-steach tro thrannsa a fhuair brosnachadh bho dheas-ghnàth an teatha, a thogas dùil mus ruig iad am prìomh sheòmar. Tha cunntair cruinn na sheasamh sa mheadhan agus e ag obair mar àrd-ùrlar, gus am faigh gach suidheachan sealladh soilleir air a' chòcaire. Tha ballachan creadha, leacan Eadailteach, fiodh uinnseann agus leacan criadhadaireachd air an dèanamh a rèir dualchas crèadhadaireachd Mino a' cuairteachadh crìoch cloiche lìomhte. Tha an solais a' cur cuideam air a' bhiadh agus air a' cheàird.
