We visited this restaurant for our birthday and wedding anniversary. Usually, we would have eel for our anniversary meal, but this year, my wife suggested having meat instead. We were able to make a reservation early, which was a relief. Since my workplace is within walking distance, our range of activities has become limited, and we rarely visit this area. We arrived a bit early, so we took a walk around the area we often see on "Ohayo Asa" before heading to the restaurant about 5 minutes before our reservation time. Although it was before opening hours, there were already two groups seated, so we decided to enter. We were seated at a table to the left from the entrance. The interior was calm, and the decor, while not luxurious (sorry, I used to be familiar with interior design), had a nice color scheme. We had pre-ordered the 5,500 yen course lunch through Tabelog. The appetizers included three types, roast beef, chicken ham with zucchini and bamboo shoots, and caprese with mozzarella and tomatoes. The presentation was beautiful. I can't plate like this myself, haha. The roast beef had a hint of young dill, adding a nice touch. The bamboo shoots had a unique crunchy texture. The caprese was delicious. The salad consisted of lettuce, sliced raw mushrooms, onions, and a dressing with a hint of garlic. I didn't know you could eat mushrooms raw when they're fresh. The clam chowder soup was quite traditional. The beef sirloin steak came with a service from the chef, who poured melted butter over it. We were instructed to enjoy it with wasabi, garlic chips, salt, and black pepper. The potatoes looked delicious too. I've never had a steak with this level of redness before. It lacked the richness of a sirloin, but it truly highlighted the flavor of the meat. There was a surprise during dessert - a cake with fireworks on top was brought to our table. I wanted to take a picture of the fireworks, but the staff congratulated us, so I couldn't. The chocolate cake was rich and had a strong chocolate aroma. Considering all this, the price was definitely worth it. Thank you for the meal.
