Everything was flavorful, fresh and the textures were amazing!! They only have about 8 seats, so if you can get in, you’ll be sitting at the counter watching chef working his magic! (And chef speaks very good English, too!)
Sake selection was also incredible, you can simply tell him what you prefer, and they will have something for you! Or, if you’d like to have wine, bubbles, Shochu or beers... They’ve got it all :)

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here!
Every single plate of snacks is perfect ✨
Is it okay if I don't have this? There's nothing like it.
It would have been nice to have a leisurely drink and eat slowly, but since the start time was after 8 o'clock, I ate a lot.
The white meat grilled fish had an elegant taste and was great.
I'm glad that the nigiri had more shellfish this time!
The horse mackerel was also amazing.
Also, additional bonito toro? I think you said you could only get two volumes?
It was smooth and elegant, and I don't think I would have recognized it if I hadn't heard it was bonito.
I love the general manager of THE craftsman, and I know him by sight, so it's fun for me to talk to him about various things 😊
I think people with no manners write strange things.
It's true that the trend of saying anything is fine for customers is a bad thing 🇯🇵.
First visit↓
Bio's Champagne was delicious✨
The happiness of having delicious alcoholic beverages and carefully made elegant snacks presented just right in front of you.
I forgot to take a photo, but I started with the octopus.
For some reason, I can't leave out the octopus.
The next engawa was crunchy and went perfectly with the champagne.
The smoked oysters are also rich, which goes perfectly with the champagne.
Whelks are so elegant that I want to eat more of them (lol)
I wanted to eat whelk with sushi. I should have said it.
And smoked roasted blackthroat.
This is exquisite! Sake or beer would be good too.
The abalone chawanmushi was also rich, and although I don't really like chawanmushi, the one here was really delicious.
After enjoying the snacks, move on to the nigiri.
I received 4 types of sea urchin for the omakase, but there was an additional sea urchin.
I can eat endlessly now.
I wanted it to never end!
