📍Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis Indianapolis Colts vs Arizona Cardinals ✔️I've been hooked on American football since I started watching the NFL last year, and I never thought I'd get to see a game live in the US...✌ I hastily booked my ticket after checking the game schedule and rushed to Indianapolis. On game days, the whole city was in a festive mood, and you could tell how much money went into the stadium just by looking at it. Even if you're not interested in American football, it's worth going at least once just to soak in the atmosphere of an NFL game.👍 ✅You can book NFL tickets on the Ticketmaster website. For first-timers, I recommend the upper levels where you can get a full view of the stadium's atmosphere and the flow of the game.

I don’t know how many times I have come to their restaurant to eat Japanese food. Every time I come, I will definitely order the lava salmon rice. I would like to call it a beautiful rice, which is delicious and photogenic. The service is good, there are many dishes, and sashimi and yakitori are my favorites. But my favorite is their 9+ Wagyu Sukiyaki, which is especially delicious. We ordered two servings of meat to feed five people. Came here for my birthday, booked a round table box, and even made birthday decorations. The boss was so thoughtful.
