Our local friend recommended and helped us make a reservation here. This was the best meal we had during our two week stay in Tokyo.
The soba texture and flavour were outstanding. The grilled beef (we opted for the seasoning to be sea salt) was the standout dish with its melt in the mouth texture and flavour. The sashimi, which has a minimum order of 2 portions, was ridiculously inexpensive, tasty and portion was large. The only disappointment was the chirashi I ordered that had a small portion of fish.
We dined with 2 noisy children and appreciated how the wait staff were kind and gracious throughout. There's no English menu and staff do not speak English, so do have Google translate at hand!
