[ He looks politely puzzled, but Shino as never all that invested in if Japan was an Empire or not; he's more curious what it is now because he has no guess, and it's such an odd thought for him out of the blue. ]
All your courses are cooked like that? This sounds amazing!
[ And the tantalising scent of food smells amazing, regardless of its origins. Shino's fairly enthused by this, tugging on their joined hands as he smiles at one of the Prismals waiting for a bus. He has no idea about these shelters or their function, but the older might-be-a-lady blinks her pretty, doe-like eyes up at them, her delicate ears flicking forward and her nose giving a rabbit-like twitch. She asks if she can help them, and Shino asks about the teppanyaki—not out of a lack of belief in Ren's navigation (he has no idea Ren is the worst navigator, about as bad as he is, only without it being because he grew up in the country and has never much had to navigate cities for himself) but more because he wants the best deal.
Which is how they're referred to a restaurant five streets away, through a zig-zag of names that Shino remembers, already flashing Ren a grin like, aren't you excited for this?! and restraining himself from anything like running and dragging him along.
Not that he's fully stopped himself from pulling Ren forward, but it's only so much that the woman laughs and makes a comment about young lovers and lunch dates that Shino doesn't hear (or care about, if he did), and waves them on their way. ]
