Today’s story きょうの あらすじ

Even though I had just gone to eat Korean food with a friend the other day, today I had Korean food again with my coworkers after work. This time, we went to a place near the office that I think is delicious every time I go. What should we go eat? Which restaurant should we go to eat at? While I was talking about it with my coworkers, we both pictured the same restaurant. Recently, whenever I wanted Korean food, I would go all the way to Shin-Okubo, but I remembered there's such a delicious place near the office too.

ついこのあいだ、ともだちとかんこくりょうりをたべにいったばかりなのに、またきょうも、かいしゃのひとと、しごとのあとにかんこくりょうりをたべにいきました。こんかいはかいしゃのちかくのおみせで、なんかいたべにいってもおいしいなぁと、おもっているおみせです。かいしゃのひとと、なにをたべにいく?どのおみせにたべにいく?と、はなしていたときに、おたがいがおなじおみせをおもいうかべました。
