Family run restaurant that's serving outright delicious food in a cosy yet beautiful setting. The building itself is a 100+ yr old Edo period building which is majestic and beautiful and the restaurant is set in a nice, chic yet with warm ambience. Food is without the doubt the highlight, we had the set lunch which came with a delicious salad, flavour profile of the salad and the mix of flavours were spot on to make a delicious salad. Main dishes were both cooked to perfection and complemented nicely with the condiments and curry. Wine selection in the restaurant is selective but very good selection compared to many other Japanese western restaurants I have seen across the country. They have nicely curated a good selection of both old world and new world wine and the French wine I tasted was brilliant. Overall a great restaurant, warm service by the team and spot on what you need to do to run a small restaurant yet deliver such a great restaurant feeling.

Came here for dinner a few days ago while on vacation in Kyushu. Food here was very delicious, especially liked the shrimp pasta! The pasta was cooked al dente. Service was also very friendly, and the menu was explained to us. Thank you for the good memories during the last evening of our trip. :)
