◾️ Lunch (Seasonal Omakase Course) / Overall Impression2026/8/2 13:00 - 14:30I visited for lunch and sat at the counter. I ordered the seasonal omakase course (JPY 6,600).Overall, the course had a high level of completion, incorporating elements of Sichuan and Chinese cuisine, allowing for a balanced enjoyment of acidity, spiciness, and the umami of the ingredients. The abalone risotto-style fried rice was particularly impressive, reaching a level of taste that moved me after a long time, and it stood out among the dishes in this course.■ Course Contents and Impressions- Shrimp and Young Ginger Salad A dish combining the spiciness of chili and the refreshing flavor of ginger. As the first dish, it was appetizing and delicious.- Kato Pork and Winter Melon in Spicy Sauce This dish had a good balance of acidity and spiciness, making it refreshing to enjoy. The umami of the pork combined with the spicy kick made it a perfect summer dish.- Chilled Tomato Soup A cold soup that highlights the refreshing acidity of tomatoes. It was a perfect light dish for hot weather and very tasty.- Peking Duck The skin was crispy, and the meat inside was juicy. The combination of textures with the chewy wrapper was excellent, and the overall flavor, including the sauce, was very satisfying.- Steamed Fish The fish was steamed to perfection, simply seasoned with green onions and soy sauce. It was a gentle flavor that allowed me to appreciate the quality of the ingredients.- Stir-fried Chicken with Chili This dish was also extremely delicious. The chicken was fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning enhanced the chili flavor well, creating a balanced dish of spiciness and umami.- Abalone Risotto-style Fried Rice This was the most memorable dish of the course. The umami of the abalone was thoroughly infused into the rice, creating a rich flavor reminiscent of risotto. It was a highly refined dish where I could fully appreciate the flavor of the abalone. I was so moved that I thought, "I want to eat more of this!"- Chilled Dan Dan Noodles The soup, which combined three types of broth, was impressive in its depth of flavor. The noodles were firm and thin, which I preferred. Despite being cold, it was a dish that allowed me to enjoy the umami characteristic of Dan Dan noodles.- Peach Jasmine Milk Tea With just the right amount of sweetness, it was a perfect dessert to conclude the course. The peach itself was sweet, and it paired well with the aroma of jasmine milk tea.
