This restaurant is famous for its difficulty in making reservations. My wish came true and I went there. We were seated in a tatami room, and the course was easy to understand: only 5,000 yen. The main course was a chicken mushroom hot pot. The amount of food was unbelievable for 5,000 yen, The chicken is just so fresh and delicious! Today, one dish was female and the hot pot was male. The owner of the restaurant is a sake lover. So there are a lot of different brands of sake, You can also enjoy the sake selection at this good restaurant. There is a direct sales shop next to the store where you can buy chicken and eggs.

I had a course with game and seasonal vegetables. I changed the main dish from deer to moon bear, and I was very satisfied to experience bear meat for the first time! I was tempted to buy the deer pâté from the course to take home because it was really delicious, but I completely forgot about it... Next time, I want to try other game and soft-shelled turtle hot pot!

The food is as delicious as ever. In particular, I recommend the grilled mackerel, beef cheek stewed in red wine, seafood marinated in nanbanzuke, chicken and egg soup, draft beer, and sake. We also enjoyed fresh tuna. I wish there was a similar cosy restaurant in my neighborhood.

The restaurant is very clean and relaxing. The entrée was also a satisfying dish. I would have preferred a little more cheese, but I asked for it in moderation. The unotan (sea urchin) on the thin, clear loin was excellent. We also enjoyed the tender and delicious red meat. In addition, Rin highball is 199 yen if you register on line.
