◆Revisit◆ I previously wrote that this place was "a young restaurant in terms of both service and taste. And expensive." At that time, my review was immediately drafted back, but I couldn't bring myself to write anything harsher because there was a strange charm that intrigued me. So, after three months, I revisited the restaurant. The conclusion is that it had changed a lot! However, the prices are still high. But, to be honest, the service had improved significantly, with a clear consistency in their approach, and the taste had also elevated. I mentioned in my previous review that the dishes were a bit salty. (Other reviewers have also mentioned the same) However, the taste had become absolutely delicious! Perhaps they adjust the seasoning based on the customers, but regardless, I was amazed by this improvement. The sashimi was truly outstanding! The yellowtail was good, but the other sashimi was so incredibly delicious that it overshadowed the yellowtail (laughs). Well, yellowtail sashimi isn't that special anyway. Among them, I must highlight the engawa (fluke fin) and mackerel. Both the lightly vinegared and non-vinegared mackerel were delicious, but the young chef's skill in lightly vinegaring the mackerel was truly remarkable! I was impressed. With such skill and quality, I don't think they need to "sell cheap," but just a little, really just a little "cheaper" would make it more accessible (laughs), especially for sake (laughs). Well, they say money goes where money is, so maybe it's fine. On this day, the company president I was with said, "It's a shame this place doesn't have a standout feature!" That might be true. It might be good to have some kind of unique selling point. But my view is slightly different. I believe the basics of business are "lose a little to gain." So, with the food being this delicious, I have no complaints if they simply lower the prices a bit (laughs), especially for sake (laughs). Nevertheless, it was a night of amazing surprises, "This chef is so skilled!" I'm sure they will continue to improve, and if they do, prices might go up even more (laughs), but that can't be helped. The service was excellent. However, in terms of taste, menu variety, pricing, and even service, there were some minor suggestions. Well, it's a matter of personal preference and luxurious wishes, so I won't write them. Even though it's a review where amateurs can write whatever they want, a minimum level of decorum is necessary. No complaints about the service. But in such a restaurant, luxurious wishes keep popping up (laughs). Still, it's top-notch♪☆A highly recommended restaurant has appeared in Fushimi☆It was delicious, Gocchan♪♪♪＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊This restaurant gives off the impression of being "young" in various ways. (Someone else also mentioned a similar impression.) The head chef is indeed a young person, and the restaurant was recently opened. In terms of taste, the dishes tend to be on the salty side and the flavors are strong. The tempura dipping sauce is delicious but quite strong and salty (as of early December 2015). The tempura itself is quite ordinary in taste and appearance, but how about the balance between price and ingredients? There were things like baby corn on the menu (at the time of the visit). Grilled fish like nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) also had a slightly strong flavor. Especially, for elderly people or children, I wonder how it is? It's delicious in general, but for someone like me who is on a budget, the cost-performance ratio... (laughs) It might be more suitable for those with some financial flexibility. Regarding sake, the prices seemed a bit high. The selection seemed to cater to a wide audience. By the way, the local sake was stored in a refrigerator with bright fluorescent lights (as of early December 2015). It would be preferable to store it in a dark place or under special fluorescent lights. The three people I went with had the same opinions. "It's delicious but a bit expensive. The influence of the young chef is strong." Perhaps young people are more likely to enjoy the atmosphere with the chefs.

The day before, I made a reservation on Tabelog and received a phone call right away. The reservation for 6 o'clock was already full, so I changed it to 5 o'clock. I had the 3850 yen course starting with a steamed whitefish roe bowl, which was delicious. The meal included dishes like sukeko, simmered tarako, assorted sashimi, octopus, saury, and salmon. The salmon was grilled and there was also deep-fried oysters with an interesting tartar sauce. The simmered cod with turnips and chicken rice in a clay pot was a generous portion, so I had some leftovers to take home. The cost performance was excellent. The ingredients were ordinary, but the food was delicious. The restaurant was very crowded today. I walked around to Momoyama-oryoryo station, and noticed that many restaurants were empty on Saturday night, but this place was packed with customers. They offer an all-you-can-drink plan for 2000 yen, which includes sake, so that might be a good deal.

During this time of year, lunch was also being served for a unique reason. Among options like fried chicken rice bowl and bento boxes, I ordered the Loco Moco bowl for 700 yen. I was the only customer. It consisted of a hamburger patty, fried egg, and plenty of vegetables. The ripe tomato was appetizing. The dressing and hamburger sauce were well balanced, showing the skill of the chef. The usually relaxed young owner seemed tense as he promoted the bento boxes, leaving a memorable impression.

This is a great place for sake lovers as they have a variety of delicious sake from all over Japan. The menu is full of dishes that pair well with sake, typical of an izakaya. The unique thing here is the dashi soy sauce that comes with the sashimi. At first, I thought it was miso, but it has a subtle saltiness with a dashi aroma which is quite interesting. The rolled omelette was fluffy and thick, and I really enjoyed it. We also tried wasabi-flavored edamame, conger eel tempura, and braised pork belly, all of which were delicious. The sake selection seems to change depending on the season, as the recommended ones were displayed on the wall. There were no cheap-tasting options, only tasty selections. It's easy to forget each drink's impression once you start drinking, but I would love to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I couldn't eat anything else because it was my third stop, but the fresh oysters were so delicious!

It's always a bustling restaurant, but I had never gone in before. With the emergency declaration related to the new coronavirus, and continued remote work, I finally went in. They only served food without alcohol. I quietly enjoyed a seafood bowl. Next time, I want to enjoy it with a drink.

They have quite a variety of menu options available here.

From the appetizers to the dessert, everything was delicious. They had a great selection of Japanese sake, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The fish dishes were all top-notch. Overall, it was excellent.

The food is extremely delicious. Highly recommended. A rare restaurant where the fish is delicious.

It was more hectic than last time.

A seafood izakaya located along a street one block south of Ote-suji in Momoyama Fushimi. I had been curious about this place for a while and decided to visit for the first time. I visited around 6:30 pm on a weekday without a reservation. The interior of the restaurant was smaller than I had expected, with a counter seat and two 4-person table seats. I ordered a drink and a sashimi assortment. The sashimi assortment was stylishly presented, with a variety of fresh fish. The taste was decent for sashimi in this area. Initially, they said they didn't have oysters, but when they mentioned oyster fry was available, I immediately ordered it as I love oysters. I also ordered tempura, grilled dishes, and a few other dishes. The oyster fry was not large but had a light, creamy texture and was quite good. The avocado shrimp mayo was also delicious, with a nice contrast between the creamy avocado and the firm texture of the shrimp. It was a cozy and comfortable place to enjoy seafood and creative dishes!

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant since it opened, but never had the chance until now! I finally went and ordered the 3500 yen course with 7 dishes, including sashimi, rice bowl, fried food, and more. Each dish was carefully prepared and had a strong flavor. The alcohol selection was also impressive, although I'm not a fan of sake. I tried a glass of sparkling wine which was fruity and delicious. The restaurant was clean and had a nice jazz background music, which I liked. The young chef and staff were attentive and I highly recommend this place!

I went there in the early evening. It's a long and narrow restaurant with a counter and tables. A steamed bowl of sea bream as an appetizer was served first. It was rich and delicious, maybe because the dough was oily or the sea bream was fried. The small oysters were firm and tasty. The spring vegetable tempura had about seven kinds of mountain vegetables, and it was satisfying. The half order was enough. The bamboo shoots had finely chopped seaweed and were quite tasty. The soup could have been a bit tastier. The total cost for the dishes was around 2400 yen, which is similar to other places. It might be better to order a set menu.

There used to be an old bookstore in the area that is now under construction. It has been replaced by many Japanese restaurants. When I entered the restaurant, I noticed a long layout with counter seats on the right side. I ordered a beer and looked at the menu, which surprisingly had a lot of dishes similar to nearby restaurants. The appetizer was a round dumpling, quite rich in flavor. The presentation of the dishes seemed a bit off and the eel had bones in it, but overall, I was impressed by the carefully prepared dishes. There were two chefs and one server, making it a young but promising restaurant. I also noticed that there were many glass utensils, which was interesting.

I used this restaurant for a meal with an important friend. The delicious food left me very satisfied. We reserved a course meal, and among the dishes, the appetizer of tomato tofu was a surprising new taste. The refreshing taste of the tomato combined with the richness of the tofu left a strong impression. Furthermore, the chef and staff explained each dish in detail, allowing us to enjoy the food even more. The cozy atmosphere of the not-too-large restaurant was very calming, and with delicious food and drinks, the conversation flowed easily. We had a very enjoyable time. The chef's stories were entertaining, the atmosphere with other customers was great, and I thought it was a wonderful restaurant. I will definitely visit again!
