The place is located along the street and easy to find. It's run by a quiet couple. They don't initiate conversation much, so maybe not the best for those who like to chat. Sometimes you just want to quietly drink, right? The dishes prepared by the chef reflect their serious personality, I guess? I don't understand complicated things, but the food was just delicious. The fried food, grilled dishes, and sashimi were all incredibly tasty! Unfortunately, it's hard to get a table as they are always fully booked. I'll try calling for a reservation tonight!

The last time I visited was about six months ago, but I go about once every six months. The customers are elegant couples from the neighborhood, individuals, and sometimes people on business entertainment. The dishes consist of many classic items, but each one is carefully prepared and truly delicious. The sashimi with ponzu sauce, featuring fresh seasonal ingredients, is a must-try. The grated daikon radish is homemade. The grilled fish, fried horse mackerel, homemade thick tofu, duck meatballs, fried eggplant, and the steak fried rice as a finale are all excellent. The rice crackers with rice balls are a great way to finish the meal with a drink. The glasses and dishes are lovely, made of Arita porcelain. The selection of sake and shochu is a bit limited. It's a high-class izakaya or traditional Japanese restaurant where I'd like to visit more often. It would be perfect if they had Western-style toilets.

Exit the A4 exit of Sengoku Station, turn left, and when you reach the intersection with Unari Street, cross the signal and turn left. The restaurant is about 30 seconds away. If you reach the next signal, you've gone too far. The restaurant has a long layout with mainly counter seats. There are also private rooms at the back, but I recommend sitting at the counter to enjoy the master's work and conversation. The counter is set up like a sushi restaurant where you can see the ingredients. I used to frequent this place in my late twenties, but the clientele is mostly older, with an average age of 50 or older. Sometimes, there are influential figures who come in late, and just their presence can be intimidating. The menu is displayed on cards without prices, but if you avoid the expensive items, dishes typically range from ¥1,000 to ¥2,000 each. The master handles everything from sashimi to grilled, fried, and simmered dishes in a small space, so there is always a wait for your order. This naturally leads to a leisurely dining experience, with most customers spending about 3 hours at the restaurant. As for drinks, they offer Heartland draft beer, and a selection of sake including popular brands like Tsukasa Botan and Shimeharizuru, as well as some rare varieties. Sake is served in wine glasses and costs around ¥900. The food is skillfully prepared, especially the sashimi, grilled, fried, and simmered dishes. The simmered dishes have a refined taste, which may be more appreciated by older customers. Some recommended dishes include homemade karasumi (available until late December), shime saba, kawahagi, and shirako tempura. I forgot the names of a few other dishes, but I will update after my next visit.
