I made a reservation for 5:30 PM on Sunday and visited with my partner.
While some guests were enjoying the izakaya experience in the evening, we had to hold back due to driving.
This place left such a strong impression that I definitely want to return next time with drinks!
【Atmosphere / Usage】
The restaurant is stylish and exudes warmth from the wood.
I imagined a traditional Japanese-style place, but to my surprise, the sign was in English, and the interior had high ceilings, creating a spacious feel.
There were no tatami rooms, which was a pleasant surprise!
It was a great spot for dates, family gatherings, and friends alike, with a diverse clientele.
【Service】
- While we were relaxing after our meal, a staff member kindly poured us tea and said, "Please take your time." It was a warm touch.
- Although they seemed busy, every staff member greeted us with a smile.
【Quality and Quantity of Food】
I ordered the Tempura Soba (cold, premium).
First, I was amazed by the strong texture of the soba.
It had a unique chewiness that I had never experienced before, with flavors and aromas that spread beautifully.
The tempura was piled high, as shown in the photo, and the shrimp was rich and melted in my mouth!
It was so tender that I could eat it without chewing.
【Crowd】
- At 5:30 PM on Sunday, I was able to make a reservation a week in advance.
By around 6:00 PM, there were several groups waiting, so it seems wise to make a reservation.
【Additional Notes】
- The restroom was clean and well-maintained.
- The parking lot is spacious, but be careful as it is not right next to the restaurant!
