Very traditional taste and atmosphere of Japanese food experience.
Chicken sukiyaki with seasonal vegetables and tofu and 魔芋。The chicken is tender and everything is tasty though it needs some punch to be perfect. However, I do like its traditional feel.
Service is perfect. Will invite people who look for tradition of Japan.

Specializes in chicken sukiyaki instead of beef. Full of flavor for the 8000yen course. Building looks deep in history. The oyakodon at the end was the best.

A very pleasant experience at a nice sukiyaki restaurant. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I had some issues because you have to sit on the floor close to a small table and I have long legs, but the staff provided a stool which helped somewhat. Great food, which I am told is quite rare with chicken rather than beef.
