Wagyu cheek simmered in red wine.

Everything is absolutely delicious! Been here before for dinner(entry here). Heard that lunch is very good value but doesn't accept reservation. Came early before the restaurant opens at 11:30am with a friend, and there was already a queue even though it was a weekday! The tiny restaurant was filled up in no time. We had to share a table with a guy who came alone.

Lunch set is 1050yen, which includes a big salad, a main dish and a very good Canelé at the end(coffee not included). The oyster soup is additional order(630yen). There were about 6 choices for the main dish, 3 fish and 3 meat. The Wagyu cheek I ordered had an additional charge of 840yen...It added up to 2520yen for me, not including dessert and coffee. Comparing with the dinner menu, the wagyu I had costs 1890yen as a la carte at night, which is actually the same price as lunch(1050+840=1890), except that you also get a salad and a canelé at lunch time. Considering its inconvenient location, dinner is a much much better idea. At dinner, reservation is accepted. There is no course menu, only a la carte. Last time I came, taking photos was okay but this time there were signs saying no photos....the chef and the madam were so busy and not looking so I just took anyway...oops. ^^;;;

Because wagyu in LA will be imported food and hence more expensive??? ^^;;; But there are many grades of wagyu, maybe you got high-rank ones there...

That Wagyu cheek looks so amazing! It's not bad...for the price. I had raw wagyu at this place recently, it's roughly 2500 yen for 5 tiny pieces. But yeah you get so much more for dinner.
