The soba kaiseki restaurant that has been around in Araki-cho for about 10 years? A Japanese restaurant.
The owner is very friendly and explains the dishes carefully.
The dishes made with the best ingredients were wonderful.
Especially blowfish! It's so plump that it can't be compared to any liver I've ever eaten!
The meat is firm and has a great texture and flavor.
The selection of sake was also good.
I want to go again.

I made a reservation for dinner. Delicious food prepared with care and delicious drinks. It's a shame that my time at this restaurant is so short, but I'd like to have a leisurely meal after the lockdown is lifted.
