This was my first trip to Fukui, and I made a reservation at the counter for dinner on the first day. I actually wanted to go with the full omakase, but since it was my first time in the area and my first time at this restaurant, I didn't have the courage to do that, so I ordered the ¥5,500 course, which was very satisfying. The alcohol orders were done through a tablet with clear pricing, and the service from the staff was quick and polite, making for a wonderful experience. Thank you for the meal.
The salt liver and the moon-viewing tsukune were very delicious. The sake was reasonably priced, and I think it shows considerable corporate effort to be able to offer it at this price. I will use it again when I visit Fukui.
The grilled blackthroat seaperch was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of salt! In addition, we ordered simmered red flounder, assorted sashimi, and simmered taro, and everything was delicious! The room with the sunken kotatsu in the back was calm and very comfortable.

We were three people and were glad to have a very spacious place prepared for us as we had made a reservation in advance.
I especially recommend the red ribs.
However,
The only thing I regret is that the red ribs I ordered at first did not come out, so I had to check again and finally it came out.
The hand towel was large and very good.

Watching the skilled craftsmanship at the counter makes the meal even more exciting. The tofu with a walnut aroma, combined with sea urchin and wasabi, creates a happy mood right from the start. Each piece of the sashimi platter is fresh and the umami spreads throughout. The dish of boiled white clam has a gentle flavor, allowing the taste of the clam to come through smoothly. The black throat sea perch was beautifully fatty and incredibly delicious. I also enjoyed the local sake, handmade soba, and spicy grated daikon soba, which justifies the Michelin rating.
The gentle seasoning allows you to choose 3 out of 5 small dishes, and the rice is delicious as well.
The young staff's friendly service is also very pleasant. It's a place you want to support.
However, the ladies tend to take a long time after finishing their meals. Wouldn't it be okay to set a time limit? Although it's different if you order drinks.

As expected from Senara, it was very delicious and I was impressed. The food was all very tasty as well.
However, we had made a reservation for six people a while ago, but the seats were too cramped, and perhaps because of that, the air conditioning was not working well at all, making it too hot.
Honestly, we could only eat and couldn't stay long.
I would have preferred a slightly larger space for a table for six, and if it's a barbecue restaurant, I would like the air conditioning to be a bit more effective. The taste is definitely not in question!
