I visited on the second day for lunch. I was really pumped for this day, skipping breakfast (laughs).After waiting in the waiting room for a while, we were led to the dining room. It was a private room separated by sliding doors, with a lovely view and a wonderful atmosphere.I ordered the Take Course and also requested the grilled eel as an addition.Honestly, this restaurant is hard to evaluate. It’s definitely a place that divides opinions.The dishes are centered around crab and seasonal ingredients, with sweetfish as the star this time. It’s a course that features sweetfish prepared in various ways.For those who love river fish, it’s a paradise, but for those who don’t, it might be quite a challenge (laughs).◯ Carp Sashimi and Sweetfish Slices The carp sashimi and sliced sweetfish are served with Japanese pepper leaves and vinegared miso. This was my first time trying both, including the leaves. I thought, "Am I really going to eat this...?" but somehow managed to finish it (laughs). Personally, I think a smaller portion would have been better.◯ Sweetfish With a barrage of sweetfish dishes including nanban-zuke (sweetfish marinated in vinegar), grilled, glazed, and fried, I tried a bit of everything, but I found the fried sweetfish to be the most delicious. I made an effort to eat the head, but I think it might have been better not to force it (laughs).◯ Grilled Eel I love eel, so I enjoyed this dish. It’s grilled without steaming, resulting in a rather firm texture.◯ Tsugani (a type of crab) One male and one female crab per person. This was quite tricky to eat. Even after trying hard, there wasn’t as much meat as I expected (laughs). I wish I could have learned to eat it more skillfully.That said, it was quite a hearty meal, or rather, a bit of a challenge (laughs).However, not only the food but also the beautiful Karatsu ware dishes were wonderful, and it was enjoyable to savor the meal while admiring the tableware. Above all, the warmth of the proprietress was delightful, and she took great care of us. The time spent in this space, including the food, was very pleasant.Thanks to my son’s efforts, we all managed to finish everything. We had a truly wonderful time. It was a great meal.
