Delicious food - tried the unicress, ramen and okonomiyaki with soba noodles. Would absolutely come back again for the unicress which is uni on top of watercress stir fried in butter and served with slices of baguette on the side. Also recommend the yogurt+soda mix drink. Place opens really late and was packed with the after-work crowd when we went.

Translated from Japanese:
When I went there just after 6pm to drink alone, it was fully booked. I changed the time and visited again around 10pm. I was able to enter as the last order was at 11pm. When I received my long-awaited sea urchin watercress, I was convinced that it was going to be popular. The sea urchin used is of high quality with no odor, and although the price is average for a single item, I'm satisfied with the quality of the sea urchin.
Since the last order is almost here, I asked for the okonomiyaki to be taken home, and I was told that I would only eat half of it. Thankfully, he suggested I move to a seat in front of the iron plate, so I was able to enjoy it.
