This is one of the best meals I've ever had, hands down. Put your faith in the team here and they won't do you wrong. Would absolutely go again.

First visit to Mr. Yamagishi's new store.
I had heard that the restaurant had the feel of an izakaya, but as I stepped through the noren curtain, I was greeted by a space that felt more like an izakaya or a small Japanese restaurant.
In addition to the counter seats, there seems to be a private room for two people in the back.
We were shown to a seat in the middle of the counter where we could see the whole area, and the cooking began.
For the first dish, each person chose two dishes from the first page of the menu, and then ordered what they liked from the many menus.
Today's recommendations are written on a separate board, and this time we have added mainly those menu items.
The food can be served little by little on the small plates shown in the photo.
The broiled dishes are cooked on a grill right in front of you, so you can enjoy the delicious aroma even before you eat them, which made the food even more delicious.

Everything was delicious, but the Chinese menu was especially delicious.
In particular, the fugu kama flavored soy sauce and the seasoning of the boiled gyoza were exquisite.
The fried chicken wings were crispy on the outside, but chewy and juicy on the inside.
Prices are written on the menu for additional dishes, so I don't have to worry about it, but the alcohol menu doesn't have prices written on it, so I was worried about how much it would cost.
As I drink various drinks, I can move on to the next alcoholic beverage, so I felt that the total cost was going up.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice, so overall I was satisfied with the restaurant, but I thought the prices were a little high. *A little over 15,000 yen per person
However, I felt that it was a good value to be able to come to Mr. Yamagishi's line at this price.
It was very delicious.
It was a feast.
