This is a calm izakaya located in an alley near the station. I had a head bowl, and it was exciting with plenty of tuna cheek, brain, and jaw. The sashimi was glossy and fresh, and it was enjoyable to experience the differences in fat and aroma for each part. The seaweed and shiso on top of the rice were fragrant, and the warmth made the fat melt perfectly. Miso soup and pickles were also served, and the sashimi, which was carefully prepared, was very easy to eat. The interior has a raised seating area where you can relax, and the side dishes were homely and satisfying.
The restaurant staff was courteous, the interior was comfortable, the food was very tasty, and I had a wonderful time with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. I would definitely like to visit again.
Thank you very much...!

The colors of blue, yellow, red, white, and black contrasted beautifully, making each dish a photo opportunity. It seems that the broth is tailored to each ingredient, allowing the umami to unfold with each bite.
