Great service and food quality. The waitress was so friendly and spoke great English, and they explain how to eat every dish in English as well. It’s my first time trying Fugu and the fish they have are the large ones that are extra chewy, so the texture is kind of unexpected and interesting. The after meal dessert is crown melon from Shizuoka, worth usually 200-300 usually dollars for a whole melon, and is the softest and juiciest I’ve have ever.

Not cheap for sure, but worth a try. To be honest, sashimi tastes so so, but the hot-pot soup and porridge are really awesome.

This was my first time eating Fugu and I'm glad I went to this restaurant! The service was great and the food came quickly. I suggest you make a booking as the place is rather tiny.
The set menu costs ¥20'000 per person. Drinks are quite inexpensive. You can get side dishes which cost around ¥4000-5000 each. All up not cheap at all but since it's something I'll do only once in my life I'm glad I went there as you know the food is prepared with the highest attention and professionalism.
