All the food are delicious. I have come here about 3 years ago(see tag) and really loved the experience, so I am glad that quality and value haven’t dropped. I sat in the private room last time while I had the counter seat this time. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, there is a waiter who can speak a little English and is willing to explain the menu to foreigners.

It is a bit hard to translate the menu but I do my best. It is a traditional Japanese dinner course and I went with the gourmet ML people. About US$50 per person, the food in the photos are all included in the course.
1. Urchin, tofu skin and aubergine
2. Fried soba paste, spicy/salty bream with cream cheese, persimmon etc.
3. bream, turnip, yuzu(like orange)
4. sashimi
5. Grilled yellowtail(?), herb salad
6. Bun with prawn, taro and eel paste
7. Rice with tea, salmon topping
8. Sesame bavarois
Everything tastes absolute heaven.
