I wanted to eat Japanese food with my friend, so I looked up a new place that had opened. Since it was in an area I don't usually pass through, I felt a bit anxious. I ordered a set meal with eel baked rice, a half serving of sashimi, and a half serving of tempura. It was delicious and filling, to the point where I didn’t even need dinner later. But I felt so happy! ✨

I visited the restaurant again because I wanted to have the oyster kamameshi one more time. This time, I skipped the boiled sea bream head and focused on the kamameshi. The clear soup seems to be made with fish bones for the broth, offering a deliciousness that can't be experienced at home. The oyster kamameshi has a strong flavor, but it was very tasty and satisfying. If you're younger, you might want to have a large serving of rice or add another half portion of a side dish. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again. I wish I had taken photos of the à la carte menu.

The stew was not too sweet and was well-seasoned, with burdock, eggplant, spinach, and shredded ginger served alongside, making it really delicious. The oyster kamameshi was aromatic and had a strong flavor. It was also great with a bit of scorched rice on the bottom. We enjoyed the lotus root kinpira, simmered hijiki seaweed, light pickles, and clear soup. We had a reservation for 12:00 and entered the restaurant. There was one group ahead of us, but customers kept coming in after that. I'm glad we arrived early. I definitely want to eat the oyster kamameshi again. The cost was 2,200 yen per person.

The restaurant has a very calm and relaxed atmosphere, and the food was surprisingly delicious for the prices. I especially enjoyed the dashimaki (Japanese omelette), fried chicken, and sashimi, which were all outstanding. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Although the location is a bit far from the station, making it somewhat hard to find, it's definitely worth the visit.

I recently started searching for new places to eat. Where should we go for dinner? This restaurant is located south of Kyotanabe Station, not in a busy area. There are two parking spots available; you turn right into the parking lot just before the vending machines, and you’ll find spaces on the left side, about the 7th spot. It opened on September 27 and serves rice bowls and tempura at a place called Itzurutei. The salad costs 600 yen and has a generous portion. The assorted tempura is 1,000 yen and includes 2 shrimp tempuras and 2 fish tempuras, offering good value. The chicken rice bowl costs 1,000 yen and takes about 9 minutes to prepare, but it needs another 10 to 11 minutes to steam properly. The fried tofu is 500 yen, and it comes in a full block with two portions of red miso soup. We ordered two highballs for 450 yen and one non-alcoholic beer, leaving us feeling very full. I think it’s a good value for the price. However, regarding sake, it seems the owner doesn't have a preference. They offer mainstream brands like Matsutake, Gekkeikan, and Tama no Hikari, which you can find anywhere, so they lack appeal. I hope they can improve on this.

I used this restaurant for a drinking party. The braised pork, tempura, and the clay pot rice we had at the end were delicious. It seems that they also have set meal options available in the evening, so it looks like it's possible to enjoy a meal there even without the drinking part. The interior is simply designed, creating a calm atmosphere for dining. Since they focus on rice dishes, such as clay pot rice and steamed rice using local rice, it would be great if they could also pay attention to their sake selection. For example, having sake made with sake rice from Kyotanabe would be excellent.

All the dishes in the course were delicious, and there was plenty of food, so I was very satisfied!

I used this restaurant for a dinner meeting with a client. The atmosphere was calm and spacious, and the food was delicious. I would like to use it again.

The sashimi was fresh and delicious!
