I found a stylish new restaurant with a sign in a narrow alley right by Kichijoji Station. While listening to live piano music, I enjoyed the owner's recommended dishes like hearty spare ribs, salad, and gratin, along with reasonably priced red bottle wine. I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious all the dishes were, and despite being a live music venue, the atmosphere was relaxed without any pretentiousness. Personally, it felt like a city version of a bar in a ski resort lodge. I went with friends this time and had a great time chatting, but I could also see myself relaxing here alone. This place is now my hidden gem.

I had the opportunity to have a meal with my wife in Kichijoji, and we decided to try a place with a piano sign that caught our attention. I ordered a beer while my wife chose ginger ale. For food, we ordered spare ribs, garlic shrimp, and salad. We enjoyed the live piano music, which created a luxurious and adult atmosphere. We would like to visit again for special occasions like birthdays. The total bill came to around 6,000 yen for both of us. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and they were flexible with our requests.
