    Hours from the shop's Instagram posts dated Oct 2026; closed day Monday from an Instagram post (Retty says no closed day). Reading of 麦笑 as 'Mugiwarai' is my best guess; please confirm. Prices ¥800–1,250 from older snippets. Sources other than official/TRY/Hotpepper pages were read as search-result snippets only (Tabelog/Instagram pages were not fetched).
