From 5250yen lunch course. Umeshu(Sour plum wine) included in the course. Fig with goma(sesame) sauce, ginnan(ginkgo nuts), hamo no ko(roe of hamo) inside the orange leave, satoimo(taro), suzuki(eat with green sauce), anago sushi. The last three items are warm.
Hamo and atsuage. I’ve tried hamo a few times before and I never thought it was anything special, but after trying the hamo in this restaurant, I realised I just never had a good one before!
Makogarei and Maguro. Eat with either ponzu or soy sauce. The brown-ish cube is kanten jelly with seeds.
Aubergine and pumpkin takiawase. It is so simple but so delicious.
Fried ayu was great but the fried pepper, edamame and corn were truly outstanding.
Maitake mushroom takikomi gohan. Miso soup with winter melon.
Kyohou grape jelly. So nice!
The food might look ordinary and sound simple but the quality is just fantastic. At first the pace of delivery of each course was a bit too fast - we were busy chatting - but I told the staff to slow down a bit and it was fine. The lady in kimono was very friendly. Two of us shared a small bottle of nihonshu(1000yen) she recommended which was very nice. I went for lunch on a Saturday and only booked the day before but I had no problem getting a private room on the first floor. On the way to the bathroom(only on second and third floor), we saw that while the tables are only partitioned with screens, they look very comfortable with sunlight coming through the windows. Nice place to have a relaxing holiday lunch~

Currently my no.1 favourite bakery in Tokyo! The original shop is in Mishuku(三宿) which I’ve never visited - I always buy from the branch inside Takashimaya Nihonbashi. I must mention that the bread is very expensive. After spending like thousands of yen on only a small amount of bread I always regret a little(^^;;;), but after eating it I always crave more and can’t wait to go back to buy again. Highly recommended!

さんま刺身。海鮮ちらし丼。
Sanma sashimi. Kaisen chirashi don(seafood rice bowl). Rice and soup are refillable.
Somehow I was expecting this place to be an izakaya specialised in seafood but it turned out to be a cheap shabby eatery run by a fish shop. Most customers appear to be locals living nearby. The menu offers a variety of fish either as sashimi or grilled. You can order it alone or as a set with rice and soup. The quality of sashimi is not fantastic but I guess it is okay for the price. I forgot how much we paid but it was very cheap. The grilled fish other people ordered looked good.

メンチカツセット、￥２６００。
Menchi-katsu set includes salad, soup, rice and coffee. 2600yen is so expensive…but the Menchi-katsu is really nice - juicy inside and cripsy outside, the beef used is good.

Omelette rice lunch set with salad, carrot soup and coffee, 1800yen. Very good! The fried rice with ketchup, chicken and mushroom was wrapped immaculately inside the omelette, the demi glace sauce was nice too.
