I made a reservation for Friday night and visited the restaurant. To start, I ordered the potato salad, expecting it to be a quick dish. However, they served it with thick-cut bacon that had been grilled, which made it not so speedy, but the bacon paired perfectly with the potato salad and made it even more delicious. The grilled vegetables, especially the onions, were sweet and tasty. The domestic seseri chicken was great with lemon, and the sirloin steak 'yaki-shabu' was delightful. I was torn between ponzu sauce and a yolk-style sauce, but the sweet sauce mixed beautifully with the egg and kept the meat light. The large shrimp were grilled with the heads left on, which is a treat for shrimp lovers, and the salt balance was perfect—so delicious! The omelet was fluffy and reminiscent of a dashed style. To finish, I had the soba rice. They kindly asked if I was okay with red pickled ginger, and when I said I loved it, they generously topped it off—so nice! I was full, but everything was so good that I finished it all! I saw another customer’s garlic rice being prepared, and it looked amazing, so I definitely want to try that next time. The owner is young and charming, and he was very friendly, so I feel like I could even go solo next time.

I went with an acquaintance! The atmosphere was nice, and it was a great space to have a relaxed conversation. It was just right for going with friends or family!
