I visited during a trip to Shiga and had a meal at the counter seats. I had a 7000 yen course. The dishes were fresh and delicate, and all of them were very delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice, and it was a good place that reflected the personality of the owner. Both my wife and I were very satisfied, and it became a great memory of our trip. I would like to eat here again when I come to Shiga.

There are table seats, but it's a place where you can enjoy a meal while talking with the chef at the counter. The dishes are prepared with care, allowing you to feel the seasons, and the explanations of the dishes were clear and thorough. The local sake is also delicious. It's a bit of a walk from the station, but it's a nice, quiet place along the old Tokaido road with a good atmosphere. The counter area is well organized and the restaurant has a very clean feel.

The atmosphere was very nice, and the food was delicious. I was recommended by an acquaintance and visited, but I would like to use it again in the future.
