The dashi (broth) is exquisite, with a gentle flavor that resonates deeply, making it something I would want to enjoy every day. ○ Tempura (Corn, Asparagus, Scallop, Ginkgo) ★★★★ Each type comes with two pieces (three for ginkgo), and you can enjoy them with either salt or dipping sauce. The corn is incredibly sweet, and personally, it was my favorite. The scallop is thick and allows you to fully savor the seafood's umami. The asparagus and ginkgo were also delicious. ◻︎ Other Dishes ○ Zunda Rice Steamed ★★ At first, I thought it was wasabi, which startled me a bit, but then I realized it was part of the course menu description, leaving me with mixed feelings. The zunda has a grainy texture, with a rich green aroma and refined sweetness that pairs perfectly with the chewy rice. ○ Soba ★★★ The soba noodles are well-defined, and despite their delicate appearance, they have a firm texture. The sharp broth enhances the flavor of the soba. The condiments include grated daikon, wasabi, and green onions. Additional dipping sauce and soba-yu (noodle water) are provided. To finish, I diluted the dipping sauce with soba-yu. It was a warming cup with a smooth texture. ◻︎ Personal Impressions While this is a high-end kaiseki restaurant with prices exceeding JPY 50,000 at night, they offer reasonably priced courses on weekdays, providing astonishing cost performance. The interior has a simple atmosphere reminiscent of a set meal restaurant, with only three counter seats and one table, creating a compact space. A television is playing in the background. During my meal, a Koshien baseball game was being broadcast, and by the time I finished my course, I caught the 9th inning of the "Tenri vs. Kenda Takasaki" match. It was a very good game, so I lingered a bit longer. ◻︎ Recent Awards "Top 100 Japanese Restaurants TOKYO 2025" "THE TABELOG AWARD 2026 BRONZE"
