I was introduced by a friend and used it for a business meeting. I was a bit anxious since it was my first time, but the owner's service was good and I was satisfied. Since it was creative tempura, there were many types of tempura that I don't usually eat. I have been having more opportunities to eat aged potatoes recently, and they were delicious even as tempura. The medium fatty tuna was the best! The portion sizes vary for each person, so it might be even better if you could adjust the amount with the final rice dish. I think I will use it again for important customer dining. Thank you very much.
All the dishes were delicious and I enjoyed the taste of each meat.
I had put that I did not like hormones when I made the reservation online, but I was disappointed that I was not asked and the hormones were served as usual.
The yukke, matsutake mushroom sukiyaki, unagi temaki, tongue, and halami were all very tasty.
It was hard to get a reservation and I am glad I tried again and again.

I enjoyed all the dishes deliciously. The vegetables were tasty, and I think I will definitely order the salad and grill again. I recommend having the prosciutto with the salad. I had a half and half pizza with lotus root and Kamo eggplant, and the deliciousness of the pizza dough made me finish it all. The highlight this time was the grilled conger eel. The miso-flavored powder and plum sauce were exquisite, making me want to order more. I definitely think I will come again.
As soon as I entered with my friend, I was excited by the spacious and relaxed interior and the terrace seating. The pizza that came out of the oven had a crispy exterior and a chewy interior, with an irresistible savory aroma. Not only the buffalo mozzarella Margherita, but also the variety of appetizers, fried foods, and pasta made it fun to choose. I ordered a smaller size and enjoyed the pasta with ragù napoletano, which had a sweet beef sauce and juicy tomatoes that were exquisite. Pairing a strong, bitter hot coffee with a melting tiramisu made for a happy conclusion. Thanks to the staff's bright hospitality, I was able to relax throughout, and I felt like trying a different pizza next time.

This time we had lunch at Luca, not far from Nishiki Market in Kyoto. The food was very good, and everything from the amuse, soup, appetizer, fish, meat, and dessert was excellent. In particular, the appetizer of red chicken and crab was excellent, and the celery sauce was a perfect match. The fish dish used a saffron sauce with air-cured cabbage, which was also very tasty. The meat was also summer venison, which was tender and weightless. We were also very satisfied with the desserts. I found this restaurant by chance and visited it right away, and I realized that my senses were right. We will visit again in the future around September when the ingredients change.
