2022.11.12 (Sat) around 11:45 am, a sunny Saturday after 3 months, I went there again. Today, I decided to order the spring rolls (2 pieces) for the first time. For the main dishes, I chose the crab fried rice, while my wife was debating between the mapo tofu. I remembered that I found it too spicy last time, so I asked the staff if they could make it less spicy, and they kindly agreed to prepare it that way. The spring rolls were delicious, crispy without being greasy. The crab fried rice and mapo tofu were equally delicious as before. Feeling like having more, I ordered the steamed dumplings for the first time. It was a delightful dish that made me wish I could enjoy it with some Shaoxing wine (but I can't drink alcohol due to medical reasons). For dessert, I had my usual favorite, the ice cream with osmanthus and honey special sauce, while my wife was content with tapioca. 2022.08.04 (Thu) around 12:30 pm, my second visit this year. Despite it being lunchtime, I was lucky to find two empty tables. For today's lunch, I chose the "Spicy Stir-Fried Shrimp Set," while my wife went for the "Crab Fried Rice." The salad served beforehand was fresh and delicious. As always, we ended the meal with the delightful ice cream topped with osmanthus and honey special sauce, leaving us feeling happy and satisfied. This restaurant always makes us naturally say, "Ah, that was delicious" after the meal. 2020.05.27 (Wed) around 12:40 pm, I visited after a 2-month break. My wife ordered the "Stir-Fried Squid and Nori" - highly recommended! I chose the crab fried rice and was thoroughly satisfied with its gentle flavor. 2020.03.15 (Sun) from 12:40 to 13:40, I visited after a long time. This was my second time having lunch here. It's a popular restaurant, but luckily, there were two empty seats on the first floor, and we were seated promptly. I always enjoy looking at the menu here because everything is delicious. My wife had the stir-fried lamb (flavored with soybean miso, ginger, garlic, etc.), with extra rice (complimentary) and tapioca for dessert. I ordered the mapo tofu, extra rice, and ice cream for dessert. My mapo tofu arrived first, and as I took the first bite following my wife's encouragement, I felt the heat. The spiciness was not overwhelming but gradually built up. The presentation and taste were distinct from other places. Then, my wife's stir-fried lamb arrived, and it was quite substantial. I indulged in it without hesitation, savoring the flavors. If I could drink, Shaoxing wine would undoubtedly pair well with it (although I'm currently unable to drink). As I continued with the mapo tofu, I started to sweat slightly on my forehead. It wasn't too spicy, but a pleasant heat that felt good for the body. The post-meal satisfaction and refreshing feeling were evidence of a healthy meal. The ice cream I ordered for dessert, with osmanthus and honey special sauce, was simply divine. The total bill for the two of us was 2,600 yen. It was a truly happy lunchtime.
