Each dish, tableware, and drink are sophisticated. Way to go! That's what it feels like. On the other hand, the squid ink curry, which is the specialty of closing, was delicious! Of course it's not cheap because I got a lot of alcohol, but I think I can use it as a place to entertain with peace of mind✨

In terms of measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, not only the partitions but also the pieces were taken care of. The food was seasonal and served with courteous hospitality.
thank you very much.
