Not only has it been recognized as one of the top 100 innovative restaurants for creative cuisine in 2025, but it has also been awarded Tabelog Bronze from 2019 to 2026.At first, I was overwhelmed by the club-like ambiance, but as I settled in, I found myself enjoying the lively atmosphere, showcasing the chef's skill. The clear pricing with pre-paid pairings is also a nice touch.Here are the dishes we enjoyed:-----------------------------◾️ Secret Heart We started the course with a heart-shaped appetizer that was visually delightful. As you bite into it, a burst of peach and plum juice flows out, spreading a gentle acidity throughout the mouth.◾️ Corn Cappuccino This nostalgic cold soup is made from sweet Shizuoka corn known as Kankanmusu.
