The 2100yen set has two toro, uni, bream, ark shell, crab, shrimp, salmon roe, anago, spring onion and tuna roll, and sweet egg. Very fresh and big size(while the rice is small)! We shared the flame-cooked sushi set, and I had the toro, very good!

秋刀魚、157円。関サバ、350円。白子焼き、850円。
The seasonal stuff, two san-ma(saury?) and one seki-saba(mackerel). Both are good! The mackerel is so cheap yet very fatty. Grilled shirako is the seafood version of foie gras, creamy!
This place is always very crowded and you have to queue forever. I went once before, like 4 or 5 years ago. It was very delicious but the long wait put me off from going back again. This time we went at 9pm on a weekday and we were seated very quickly! Though we had to order everything quickly cos the last order was 10pm.

ウニとアスパラのクリームソース。ランチは980円。
Spaghetti with sea urchin and asparagus in cream sauce. The pasta and the sauce didn’t taste like they were cooked together, but the sauce was creamy and quite tasty and had spinach and tomato in it. The reason why I took 200 pictures at a cheap lunch like this is that, it was my 4th attempt to go to this place for lunch! First time it was closed, thought maybe they no longer do lunch, then another day I passed by and it was opened for lunch but I was in a hurry and couldn’t go in. I went back the 3rd time and it was closed again! So when I actually ate there, it felt like a precious experience….^^;;

ミルククレープケーキとコーヒーのセット、900円。
I am sucker for cafes with wooden interior and have to venture in even though I know a cup of coffee will usually cost as much as lunch. ^^;; Milk crepe cake and coffee, 900yen.

カツカレー、680円。
Pork cutlet curry, so cheap! The curry is a bit salty but yoshoku curry is like that anyway. Surprisingly there were a few groups of female customers amongst the guys.

天せいろの合い盛り(うどんとそば)、1425円。
Half udon half soba, with tempura. Usually tempura soba or udon is quite expensive but this place is cheap, yet the quaity is high. Both the soba and udon have very strong texture, a lot of chewing needed but I love that. The tempura is nice too. I waited for about 20 minutes, but it is written on the menu that everything is made fresh upon order so it will take a while. You can choose strong or light tsuyu(the soy sauce you dip the soba and udon into), and I chose the strong one and it turned out a bit too strong for me, the light one would have been better. I like this place though!

061015 145Mont Blanc, Tarte aux Fruits, Tarte Poire, galette and matcha cookie. The Mont Blanc is the best! Multi-layers from top to bottom: marron cream, whipped cream, marron paste, sponge cake strong with alcohol, and chocolate coated sucré. It is very small but so rich with marron flavour - I love it! The fruit tart and the pear tart are not bad too, though the tart is the soft type, not the crispy type I like. The pear one is very sweet. The cookies however are no good, mainly because they are not properly sealed and are not crispy, even though I think they are probably not that old.
