Wonderful, wonderful meal! Stumbled upon this restaurant, walked in and were greeted by a wonderful and engaging staff. I wanted my partner to try traditional sukiyaki for the first time and we received much more than expected. I had never had this version where there were two separate sukiyaki courses, and it was absolutely delicious. All of the staff were very welcoming, particularly our friend Ryudai who expertly prepared our meal and explained how best to eat it in such a kind manner. He made our meal so much better!

Made a reservation for lunch and it was fantastic. We got course #4 with additional kobe. Kobe was out of this world but everything was fresh and tasty as well. We felt full by the end of the meal and were happy with the host. Very nice girl and pristine restaurant. They play relaxing jazz music and she cooked everything for us in front of us. Pleasant experience, would recommend!! They also took a cute photo of us as a gift to take home

Great vibes, superb service and super yummy beef. You’ll need to order 1 course per person - price differs based on the type of beef you order. Of course, Kobe beef is the priciest (but I’d bet it’s the yummiest) We got 1x premium beef (no.2) 1x normal(?) beef (no.4) They’ll cook the whole course for you, dish by dish as you eat. Would definitely recommend checking this place out! It’s along a whole smol street of antique looking houses / buildings. After the meal, you can have a nice walk along this street~

Wonderful restaurant with amazing food and even better service. From our warm greeting to our professional, attentive service, to one of the very best meals ever, we loved everything about this experience. Our culinary guide/chef/waitress, Himeno, was the best! The beef was heavenly and every course induced huge dopamine surges. Do not miss this opportunity. We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon it and will take home warm memories of our night here.
