Reviews
I had the Unaju set meal. It was a set of Unaju, liver soup, and pickles, and the amount was just right and the taste was refined and delicious. The eel was soft and the sauce was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was good, and the staff were polite and helpful. I would definitely like to visit again.
The food was delicious. Also loved how the chef put their own artistic flare to the dish
The portion size is very generous, the taste is excellent, a very satisfactory experience.
Due to weather problems, we may not be able to meet the reservation time. I am very grateful to the store and klook for their help in changing the reservation date smoothly. The service is good. It would be better if they can explain the order of the meal.
I specially booked Kaiseki cuisine. The set meal was very ceremonial, with exquisite presentation and combination of ingredients. Although it didn't look like much, if you ate it slowly, you would be 90% full after the whole set.
It would be nice if the three of us could choose different meals. The introduction was too little, so I didn’t know that the steamed fish meal was extra large, so I thought there were other snacks. The result was three extra large steamed buns with rice and no other food. There are still many foods in the store, so you can’t choose.
