We pride ourselves on serving traditional Japanese cuisine that makes the most of the season. We are particularly particular about fish, which we source almost daily from Toyosu. The menu changes daily as it is determined by the ingredients. We serve selected fresh seafood in a variety of ways, including sashimi, seared, boiled, and fried. One dish we highly recommend is our shrimp shinjo. It has been a staple menu item since we opened, and we have regulars who order it every time. The soup stock, carefully made with techniques backed by years of experience, will soothe both body and mind. Our clay pot rice, which changes with the seasons, is also a must-try.

The chef has 30 years of experience in Japanese cuisine. He takes pride in his simple, yet gentle and delicate dishes that make the most of the natural flavors of the ingredients. Each and every step is carefully done and has been praised. He also pays attention to the tableware and carefully selects items that go well with the food. If you want to fully enjoy such food, we recommend the course menu. There are two types of chef's choice courses, 5,500 yen and 7,700 yen. Starting with a seasonal soup, he will serve you "what you want to eat now" using an abundance of seasonal ingredients procured that day. Feel free to ask about your preferences. It is also perfect for entertaining and business dinners.

We offer a wide variety of alcoholic beverages to enhance the seasonal Japanese cuisine. We always have about 20 types of sake on hand. We also have seasonal varieties, so you can always enjoy something new. Many of our sakes leave a strong aftertaste on your tongue, so you can enjoy that aftertaste as you take your next sip. We also offer a wide variety of seasonal shochu, from slightly sparkling to hot and lukewarm. We also have a wide selection of shochu, including potato, rice, barley, and brown sugar. If you want something lighter, our homemade plum highball and ginger highball are popular. We also have homemade lemon sours.
