Overall it was delicious. The only thing was that the price was higher than I expected. It's a mystery how much the shovel and sashimi platter cost. If you are going to have an assortment, it is better to ask in advance how much it will cost.

As the sign says, the fish is delicious. The staff's response is also prompt and pleasant.
I really appreciate that when you decide on a dish and order, they adjust the quantity to suit the number of people.
It's a popular restaurant, so I think reservations are required on weekends.
