I made a reservation for a JPY 6600 lunch. The restaurant is located in a residential area, and its appearance is a bit hard to spot, so I got a little lost.The dishes came in small plates, each with great flavors that left me satisfied.◾️ Tuna marinated in Doubanjiang and Shaoxing wine The tuna topped with condiments paired perfectly with the spicy sauce, making it a fantastic first dish.◾️ Saliva Chicken The peanuts and avocado mellowed the spiciness. The chicken was incredibly moist, making me want more.◾️ Steamed Clam Chawanmushi The flavor was enhanced with sansho pepper, creating a delightful taste.◾️ Peking Duck The Peking duck came with meat, and the skin was wonderfully chewy.◾️ Wagyu in Oyster Sauce The sweet seasoning, enjoyed with a soft-boiled egg like in sukiyaki, offered a rich sweetness and high-quality beef for a luxurious taste.◾️ Shrimp in Chili Sauce The shrimp were quite large and juicy. It was delicious to wipe up the leftover sauce with steamed buns.◾️ Egg Fried Rice This luxurious fried rice exceeded my expectations in a good way. The richness of the karasumi, the pop of the fish roe, the saltiness of the shirasu, and the gentle flavor of the egg all came together beautifully.◾️ Chashu Ramen The meal concluded with a gentle broth and thin noodles. The firm noodles and delicious chashu made the soup irresistible. I was completely satisfied!◾️ Jasmine Tea Crème Brûlée The jasmine tea-infused crème brûlée was refreshingly aromatic and incredibly delicious; I wish it were available for purchase!
