This restaurant specializes in river fish, and I enjoyed a set meal and drinks for about JPY 5,000. I was guided to a private room that was around 8 to 10 tatami mats in size, with large windows offering a view of the river, making it a luxurious space that felt well worth it.The food was, of course, excellent, but there was also a strong emphasis on the tableware, with Karatsu ware enhancing the presentation of the dishes. The understated beauty of the ceramics complemented the river fish dishes perfectly.One dish that particularly stood out was the sweet grilled ayu (sweetfish). This is a specialty that originates from the restaurant's history as a candy shop. Unlike typical sweet simmered fish, this dish is grilled while being brushed with sauce, resulting in a delightful combination of smokiness and just the right amount of sweetness. The natural flavor of the ayu was preserved beautifully, and I found it incredibly delicious.With exceptional food, beautiful tableware, stunning views, and a serene atmosphere, this place offers a high level of satisfaction. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a leisurely time.
