About this place
One diner recalled finding minke whale among the sashimi. They enjoyed its clean-tasting flavour and rich, yielding texture, and liked the accompanying sauce. The three-kind sashimi platter is available for one or two people, making it a good way to start with fish whether you’re dining solo or sharing.
The small plates include inventive choices such as mapo potato salad and dashi omelette with shirasu (whitebait) and Kujo spring onion. One diner also enjoyed dishes featuring chirimen sansho—dried young sardines seasoned with Japanese pepper—alongside the potato salad and omelette, offering plenty of scope to pick and choose snacks with a drink. For dinner, clay-pot rice with truffle-scented olive oil, aged bacon and maitake mushrooms is one possible finale; allow about an hour after ordering. Another diner tried the clay-pot rice with oysters and butter, so the closing dish may vary with the menu or season.
Drinks include sake and natural wine, with sparkling, white and red options. A diner enjoyed having several sakes suggested to them; if you’d like to compare a few, you could ask about pairings alongside your meal. Lunch is also served, with listed options including grilled chicken thigh with Japanese pepper and chicken thigh simmered with mushrooms in jibuni style. Dinner reservations are available, and diners have reported booking ahead—useful if you prefer to plan your meal.
