My parents and our couple visited as a group of 4. The restaurant, which was built in the early Showa period as the residence of a village headman, had a wonderful storefront and garden! We were guided to a tatami room, which was very comfortable with chairs and tables. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! The staff at the restaurant provided warm hospitality, and we were completely satisfied in every aspect! We would like to visit again with our son's family next time.

I revisited the restaurant around 12:30 on a weekend for a meal, and had the beef shabu-shabu course (6,000 yen). I had oolong tea to drink. The appetizer platter, shabu-shabu, and rice were already set on the table. The appetizer platter: Colorfully arranged on a dish shaped like yellow leaves. (From left to right, I have given names to the dishes for convenience.) Fish paste: Colored in the colors of the Doll Festival (green, yellow, pink). Warabi and yamaimo: Warabi cooked in dashi with yamaimo on top. Grilled yuba: Had a fragrant touch. Tai fish with Saikyo miso: Had a gentle flavor of Saikyo miso. Sweet potato and carrot stew: Shaped like butterflies and flower petals, both were sweetly stewed. Agar jelly with shrimp and edamame: Inside a round dome-shaped agar jelly were shrimp slices and edamame. Sasa sushi: Small sushi with shrimp on top wrapped in bamboo leaves, had a perfect balance and was delicious. Komatsuna salad: Served in a glass-shaped pottery, had a good texture and a refined dashi flavor. Soup: Green-colored fish paste tied with trefoil, topped with pickled cherry blossoms. Very elegant dashi and delicious. Sashimi: Tuna, sea bream, yellowtail, all fresh and carefully prepared. Beef shabu-shabu: Thinly sliced beef accompanied by Chinese cabbage, onions, and mizuna, with instructions to first put the vegetables in the paper pot and then the meat after about 5 minutes. The meat was tender and delicious when dipped in the sesame sauce provided. Chawanmushi: Topped with sweet bean paste, inside were bamboo shoots and yuba. I enjoyed the ingredients I love. Seasonal rice dish: Cooked with solid fuel, I was a bit worried, but the rice was perfectly cooked by the time the fire went out. The plenty of sakura shrimp added a fragrant touch, and the plump rice had a slightly sweet seasoning and was delicious. Red miso soup: Had seaweed inside. Tempura: Two smelt fish and shishito pepper with matcha salt, served while I was having the rice, the order of serving was a bit different...but the amount was small so it wasn't too heavy. Dessert: Almond jelly topped with wolfberries. The agar jelly was firm, the almond flavor was subtle, but the cool sweetness was a nice finish to the meal. The course had slightly more dishes compared to last year, and the quality of ingredients seemed to have improved, giving a slightly luxurious impression. The Japanese cuisine incorporated many seasonal ingredients, with a clean and elegant flavor profile, beautifully presented, and each dish seemed to be carefully crafted. It's not easy to prepare such a variety of dishes with so many ingredients at home, so I enjoyed savoring each dish. The price has increased significantly due to recent inflation and the cost of ingredients, but I was satisfied, so it was worth it. The weather was very pleasant that day, and although I didn't stay for long, I was able to enjoy the meal in a relaxed mood. I didn't feel the cold at my feet like I did last year, probably because the outside temperature was different this time. This year, the season seems to be progressing quickly, as the cherry blossoms in the garden were starting to fall, and the light purple azaleas were in full bloom, very beautiful. As expected, one should enjoy not only the meal but also the overall scenery including the interior and exterior of the building, the garden, etc.

The building was lovely and we even received a brochure about it. When we requested, they turned on the lights in the warehouse that was not being used for meals so we could take a look. We made a reservation for afternoon tea and the apple pie in the shape of a rose was so cute that it almost seemed a shame to eat it, but it was delicious.

I always use this restaurant when meeting up with old friends. Although there is a 10% service charge for making a reservation, I recommend it because you can relax in a private room and take your time. We ordered a fish-centered set menu with dessert for lunch. The homemade tofu was delicious. Each person can enjoy freshly cooked rice in a small pot, which feels luxurious. The hot coffee was a bit weak, but the chestnut and black bean dessert with a generous amount of mild custard cream was delicious.

We had a private celebration with our family at "Ganko" and it was our first time at this location in Musashino Tachikawa Mansion. The building and garden were very impressive, exceeding our expectations. The traditional Japanese course meal we had, including appetizers, steamed dish, sashimi, shabu-shabu, tempura, etc., was delicious. The service was also excellent. We were very impressed and would love to have another celebration at Ganko Musashino Tachikawa Mansion in the future. Thank you for the wonderful meal. P.S. There is a large parking lot next to the property (free of charge).

Located about a 15-minute walk from JR Tachikawa Station, GanKo Foods is a chain restaurant that also has branches in Kansai. The restaurant is housed in a mansion built in the early Showa period, where you can enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine such as kaiseki and sushi. The menu is wide-ranging, with prices ranging from 2,500 to 10,000 yen. I ordered the special Irodori Bento for 2,500 yen, along with a single order of sushi for 800 yen and Seven-Spice Grilled Chicken for 500 yen. The bento box included appetizers, sashimi, chawanmushi, tempura, sakura shrimp rice, red miso soup, and more. You can enjoy a variety of meat and fish dishes in small portions, making it perfect for foodies. During lunchtime, drinks and dessert are also included. The overall seasoning was just right, and the temperature balance was well-maintained. The highlights for me were the butterbur and white sesame salad, and the chawanmushi with crunchy bamboo shoots. While there were no standout dishes, everything was consistently delicious. You can order sushi by the piece, and the staff will recommend dishes and provide excellent service. Overall, it's a satisfying restaurant in terms of both quality and price!

I went to Ganko Musashino Tachikawa Yashiki in Tachikawa, Tokyo today for my father's one-year memorial. It was my first time making a reservation here. The restaurant is a renovated old mansion with a well-maintained courtyard. The meal included an appetizer platter, sashimi, steamed bamboo shoots and tofu, tempura, and shirasu rice as the finale. The only downside was that the food took a bit long to be served.

When you order dishes at family restaurants, you know that if you order the cheaper dishes, you may feel a bit unsatisfied, so I chose the family restaurant course (ordering cheaper items). I was satisfied with the meal. I was happy to be guided to a private room for free. The manager was nice. I will come back again. It is a restaurant in the Ganko no Oyashiki series in Tokyo. Maintaining a traditional Japanese house like this must be tough, especially with the added challenge of the coronavirus. I hope they keep up the good work. The sushi on a stick here is delicious. I highly recommend it.

A Japanese restaurant located just a short walk from JR Tachikawa Station, where you can get off the bus at Sakaecho 3-chome. As you pass through the noren of a Japanese house surrounded by gardens on both sides, you enter the entrance, take off your shoes, and put them in a locked shoebox. Along the way, historical exhibits are displayed, and there is a large hall for a large number of people in the back. In the tatami room with a carpet, table seats are neatly lined up. Around 12:30 on a weekend in April, I visited for a meal and ordered the Special Colorful Bento with Dipping Pork Shabu (3,300 yen). The appetizers, sashimi, and chawanmushi were already set up. I had oolong tea to drink. The appetizer box included: Mizuna ohitashi: Mizuna with a refined dashi broth that left a nice texture. Chilled and delicious. Shrimp and vegetable simmered dish: Shrimp with shells on top of string beans, bamboo shoots, carrots, and other vegetables simmered in a slightly sweet broth. Grilled fish: It was sea bream, just the right size to enjoy with other dishes. String beans with grated yam: Crunchy string beans with a light seasoning of grated yam on top. Beef sukiyaki: Beef cooked in a sweet and savory ginger-flavored sauce. Sashimi: Tuna, salmon, and sea bream, with tuna being chu-toro, and salmon having a nice fatty texture. Underneath the shiso leaf were thinly sliced daikon radish. Chawanmushi: Decorated with slices of bamboo shoots and a sakura-patterned daikon radish, very spring-like. The top of the soft chawanmushi had yuba, and it was delicious with an elegant taste. Dipping pork shabu: Thinly sliced pork with onions, Chinese cabbage, and mizuna on the side, with dashi already in the paper pot. You are instructed to first put the vegetables in the broth, then add the meat when it boils, and enjoy with wasabi in the dipping sauce before the meat becomes tough. The thinly sliced meat had umami, and the sweetness of the vegetables came out nicely. Tempura: Two shrimp, eggplant, and shishito pepper, to be eaten with sakura salt. The shrimp were a bit small but firm, and the tempura batter was fragrant. Seasonal steamed rice in a steamer: Topped with whitebait, sakura shrimp, shredded omelet, and finely chopped string beans. The fluffy rice was slightly sweet and easy to eat, very delicious. Miso soup: With seaweed. Dessert: Soy milk baumkuchen, with a gentle sweetness and flavor. Lemon tea: There was also coffee available, but I chose this. A lemon wedge in a comb shape was included, and the tea had a dark color like coffee but was not bitter. The elegant flavor of the dashi in the Japanese cuisine, with a gentle seasoning, allowed me to enjoy a variety of ingredients. The beautifully arranged dishes with a sense of the season were impressive, and each dish was carefully prepared. Even with small portions, I was already full by the time I had the seasonal steamed rice, so I think even men would generally be satisfied with the amount. The dishes were served by female staff in kimono, and the service was attentive. It was a bit chilly that day, so even in the room with a carpet, my feet felt a bit cold. (When leaving after the meal, I noticed that there were knee blankets placed at the side of the room...) The seats were spacious, with acrylic boards on the tables, and everyone was eating quietly, so I could enjoy my meal without worry. As the restaurant is located in a mansion built in the early Showa period, the furnishings displayed in the store and the well-maintained garden on the premises were very impressive. I was able to visit during a time when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I was able to enjoy a short cherry blossom viewing. A great place to use for special occasions with family or friends, such as anniversaries or dinners. Not only the food but also the interior of the store and the garden on the premises are places to be enjoyed together.

A Japanese restaurant created by renovating an old mansion (Nakano residence). We parked our car in the parking lot facing Tachikawa Street and entered. The three of us came for a weekend lunch, and we ordered the "Special Colorful Bento Box" for 2500 yen each. With service charge and consumption tax included, if you enter by 3 p.m., you get coffee and dessert, making it a very affordable menu. Plus, we were able to use a private room for free at that time, due to timing issues. The contents of the bento box were as follows: appetizer box, sashimi, small dish, tempura, seasonal steamed rice, red miso soup, cake, coffee or tea. The beautifully presented and delicious items in the appetizer box were excellent. Each dish had great flavor. They accommodated me, the driver, by serving hot tea, but I felt like having some sake. The sashimi included tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and tofu skin. Delicious. The small dish was silky tofu with cherry blossom paste, with a clear tofu flavor that was quite tasty. After a while, we had freshly fried tempura with shrimp, leeks, pumpkin, lotus root, and shiitake mushrooms. I had leek tempura for the first time, and it was quite good. I even thought about having it at home. The seasonal steamed rice was a hot chirashi sushi with plenty of whitebait, sakura shrimp, and shredded omelet on top. It may have been my first time having steamed vinegar rice, but it wasn't bad. The red miso soup was refillable, and it was so delicious that one serving was enough for me. Then, we were served cheesecake with coffee or tea. The dessert was more like a tofu pudding in texture, with a berry sauce that paired well, a delicious Japanese-style dessert. We enjoyed it leisurely with tea, and it was a great way to finish the meal. After paying the bill and leaving the entrance, we were shown around the garden, and I thought it was a nice building and garden that made good use of the old folk houses in Musashino. I thought it would be nice to use for ceremonies like funerals or engagements. I'll remember this place. Thank you for the feast.

In February, I visited Tachikawa in Tokyo for lunch. The place I visited was Gan'ko Musashino Tachikawa Yashiki in the Tachikawa area. Gan'ko is an izakaya I often visited during my business trips to Osaka. It used to be more like a casual pub. Recently, they have been operating a restaurant while preserving historic mansions, similar to the example of Yamano Aiko's mansion in Shinjuku. With the difficulties of dining out during the pandemic, I happened to come across Gan'ko in Tachikawa and decided to stop by. This restaurant is located in the Nakano mansion. The interior is very calming, with decorations like Hina dolls in the spacious hall. The seat we were led to was a room with sunlight streaming in, set up like a table in a traditional Japanese room. Despite not being a private room due to the same-day visit, they had taken proper measures for social distancing, creating a safe dining space. I ordered the Sushi Set Meal (Monday) with Tempura and Miso Soup for 1,980 yen. The set included sushi, tempura, and miso soup. The presentation was nice and generous. The sushi was decent in taste. It seemed like the ingredients were freshly sliced in-house rather than pre-sliced. The Negitoro roll had a bit too much green onion, but overall, it was decent. The tempura was not pre-fried but fried in-house, and while the appearance was modest, the taste and texture were good. The miso soup was simply delicious. I enjoyed it all. In such a historic mansion, the experience is elevated, and Gan'ko provides quality service at a reasonable price, enhancing the satisfaction with the ambiance. It's a good restaurant that is working hard. On a side note, they also offer 500 yen bento boxes, which seemed like a Gan'ko touch. I support their efforts. Thank you for the meal.

We dined in a very lovely old mansion with a nice view of the garden from our seats. Our table was properly separated from others. We had a special colorful bento box, and although I forgot to take a photo of the sashimi, the taste was undeniably good. The only downside was that all the appetizers were served cold.

In Tachikawa City, Tokyo, it was my birthday and I had to work until the evening, so my daughter treated me to a birthday lunch the day before. She prepared a birthday plate for me, which made me very happy. She even brought out a grilled sea bream as a surprise birthday treat. I was so delighted! They also provided a free birthday service, including taking a photo of me with a large menu-like photo panel in a vacuum pack. There were three things to celebrate: the birthday board, the congratulatory sea bream, and the photo panel. I felt incredibly happy to be celebrated in such a way. Thank you very much! The private room fee was 10% of the total cost. I really like the pressed sushi here, as they make it fresh upon ordering. This traditional Japanese family restaurant is very convenient to use. I am grateful to my daughter for making me feel happy and to the restaurant for their hospitality. Thank you!

After the New Year's safety prayer, we were well taken care of. For lunch, we had a course meal served. I felt like having some Japanese sake. The balance between price and service was great. I will definitely come back next year after the safety prayer.

I visited a restaurant for lunch. It had a lovely atmosphere and delicious Japanese food. Afterwards, I went to the landlord's renovated home... which was also a beautifully designed space!

This is an izakaya located in Tachikawa City. It is conveniently located near a train station, bus stop, and parking lot. I ordered a sashimi platter and beer, and the sashimi was thick and fresh. The drink selection was also great, aside from beer. I recommend this place.

I visited for lunch. The scenery at Arashiyama was quite impressive. I ordered the grilled eel rice bowl and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the meal ☺︎

The calm restaurant interior was delicious for dining. I met a family visiting for Shichi-Go-San. I think it is suitable for large groups such as ceremonies.
