My daughter wanted to go, so we made a reservation for three people at 12 o'clock on Saturday. That day, it wasn't too crowded, but several groups of customers came in one after another. We were seated on a sofa. We wanted to eat food and sweets, but since we are light eaters, we shared a demi-hamburger rice dish and ordered a cake set and a parfait set. The food had a lot of vegetables on it, and the hamburger was lightly and tenderly simmered, making it delicious. The parfait was made with hojicha and had various ingredients, was voluminous, and tasted great. The cake was a seasonal strawberry cake, beautifully decorated with various fruits on the plate. We were very satisfied and full. I deducted a star because the parking lot was small, but it was delicious, so I want to go again. Thank you very much.

In the evening, I made a reservation for a counter seat for one person and ordered after looking at the menu. It seemed that there were about two groups dining in the restaurant. The staff were all women, and I felt at ease enjoying my meal even though I came alone. The concept of the restaurant was displayed in various places, and I could understand where the ingredients came from, which made me feel safe. The vegetables and the pork pâté I had as an appetizer were both very delicious. Since I was alone, I couldn't try many different dishes, but I definitely want to repeat the experience. Next time, I am thinking of having breakfast.

We enjoyed the quality meat that lived up to its reputation. The selection of famous and rare parts of the meat was all top-notch. My personal favorites were the maki and hoso. In addition to yakiniku, the restaurant also had some unusual menu items such as sushi with seared meat and ramen noodles in tail soup. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, and I would feel comfortable using the restaurant again next time. Thank you for the meal.

The salty duck loin and chicken salad was delicious and the soup was rich and creamy. The homemade bread was simple but delicious, with a hint of cinnamon. The main dish of sautéed chicken was hearty and filling with a rich sauce. The dessert gâteau chocolat was chocolatey and just the right amount of sweetness, and the cheese tart was rich and crisp. The coffee was also flavorful, and the quantity of coffee was sufficient for women and those with small appetites, and the dessert and coffee are included in the price, making it a good cosmetic choice.
