「歡迎光臨！」年輕的服務生推開玻璃門招呼我。
「不好意思，」在這家牡蠣燒烤餐廳門外猶豫了很久，「請問一個人可以點吃到飽套餐嗎？」
「可以的，請進。」然後服務生轉身對內大喊「一位貴賓來店！」
難得可以一個人點吃到飽套餐，在日本大部分的餐廳都要兩人以上才可以。也許鄉下的餐廳比較友善吧。
先點了一公斤帶殼牡蠣，然後趁著上菜前，先去洗手間。今天要狂嗑牡蠣。
回來時，桌上已經有一盤牡蠣等著我。不過，那個服務生也在桌邊等我。
「非常抱歉，一個人不能點吃到飽套餐，」那位服務生單膝跪地在桌邊道歉。
「哦，」猶豫了一分鐘，「那麼，請取消。」只能餓著肚子離開牡蠣吃到飽餐廳。
照片是在宮崎的「鬼的洗衣板」拍攝，一個人就能拍，不用兩人以上。
"Welcome," the young waiter greeted when opened the glass sliding door .
"Excuse me," I had been hesitating outside the oyster barbeque restaurant, "is it okay to have the all-you-can-eat course one person?"
"Yes, come in please," the waiter turned around and shouted, "one customer arriving!"
Well, it's rare that I can have all-you-can-eat by one person. At least two people are required at most restaurants in Japan. Maybe the restaurant in countryside is more friendly.
I ordered 1 kg oyster in shell to start. Then, I took the chance to go to the toilet before the oyster arrived. I was gonna eat tons of oysters tonight.
There was a plate of oysters on the table when I came back, but so was the waiter kneeing down next to the table.
"I am very sorry that one person cannot have the all-you-can-eat course," said the waiter.
"Oh," I hesitated for a minute, "then, cancel it, please," I got out of the all-you-can-eat oyster barbeque restaurant when starving.
The photo is the lighthouse in Devil's Washboard in Miyazaki. It did not require two people to take the photo.
