This restaurant values traditional techniques honed at a ryotei. The painstakingly prepared appetisers are a must-try. Seasonal iimushi, mochi rice topped with fish and steamed, is served as an amuse-bouche, paired with seasonal tastes such as sea urchin, salmon roe and chestnut. Instead of rice, the meal closes with konnyaku soba (devil’s-tongue noodles), to relieve uncomfortable fullness after the meal. Meticulous food preparation eloquently conveys the spirit and feeling of the owner-chef.
