This is a restaurant where you can enjoy tempura and Japanese a la carte dishes that bring out the natural flavors of seasonal seafood and vegetables. They are particular about the frying oil and batter, adjusting the temperature and frying time for each ingredient to achieve a light texture and a fragrant finish. A selection of seasonal small side dishes and accompaniments is also available, creating a composition that allows you to naturally experience the tastes of the season.

The interior, with its warm decor and subdued lighting, creates a comfortable space centered on counter seating where you can enjoy a relaxed meal. At seats close to the frying station you can experience the sounds and aromas of tempura being finished up more directly, and spend time leisurely while enjoying conversation. In this quiet space with understated presentation, there is a pleasant comfort that lets you concentrate on the food.

Since opening on July 8, 2008, we have been offering dishes that cherish seasonal flavors, centered on tempura. While carefully honing our skills in selecting ingredients, preparation, and frying, we continue to operate as a tempura restaurant beloved by the local community. Maintaining the calm atmosphere it has had since opening, we deliver a consistent taste with menus that make the most of seasonal ingredients.

The proprietor, Mr. Tosaka, was born in Shiga Prefecture in 1971. As a high school student he was moved by the movements of sushi chefs and pursued a career in cooking; after attending culinary school he studied Japanese cuisine under his master, Mr. Muta. He gained experience at restaurants around the country and became head chef at 27. After ten years of training, he became independent at 37 and opened the current restaurant. He continues to refine his frying technique, judging temperature to the second according to the ingredients.
