"A fun izakaya within walking distance of Shibuya Station offering creative Washoku cuisine. The dimly lit interior provides a relaxed feel, with true Japanese hospitality from the kimono-clad proprietress." - MICHELIN Guide Japan

"The warmly lit counter catches the eye through the glass walls – so Japanese in style, yet Western in mood. Having honed his craft in New York, the chef opened this izakaya to offer Japanese fare in a casual setting. The proprietress greets guests in kimono. Sashimi is served as a mixed platter. Potato salad and steamed shrimp siu mai dumplings are perennial favourites, as is the finisher of takikomi-gohan (rice dish with soy sauce and boiled with various ingredients). Every dish bursts with playful creativity." - Michelin Inspector

I ate not too long before coming here because I figured it wouldn’t be a lot of food. I was mistaken- come hungry. The food is plentiful and it is super tasty. Small spot with maybe twenty seats. But it’s a nice chill, romantic vibe. Nice to watch the chef’s meticulously make every dish. The staff was all really friendly and nice as well, smiling and talking often. They were able to accommodate for pescatarian which is nice. I definitely recommend.

Chose the ¥9600 set. I love the first dish bun, the dessert, the final two main dishes (beef cheek and the salmon and roe with rice). The sashimi pieces are so-so fish choices (lean white or red fish) and all in tiny pieces. The chef definitely is a good chef (cooking skill is pretty good)! I will go back for the hot dishes. I was charged for ordering 6 cups of hot water for ¥1800.

A multi course tasting dinner set that did not disappoint with items such as truffle infused chawanmushi, wagyu sushi, sashimi, crab croquette, Wagyu beef sirloin, conger eel broth, unagi don and hojicha tiramisu that was out of this world. Highly recommend!

I can't begin to describe the culinary masterpiece of the dinner I just had. It was like watching Leonardo Da Vinci in the kitchen. One of the best meals I've ever had. Welcome to Tokyo.

Found this place from the Michelin guide and was not disappointed! They have three options of omakase meals - 7, 9, and 11 courses. We did the 9 trying to not be too gluttonous, but after seeing the 11 course we wished we had gotten that because it’s not just more courses, the dishes are also slightly different. That being said, after the last course before dessert - the rice bowl with salmon and roe (of which you can get seconds) - we were incredibly full! Nice modern ambiance with dim lighting and service was very good.

Incredible tasting menu. The courses were given at a very good pace. The atmosphere is intimate. The service was great. The waiter was always a step ahead which made the service smooth and delightful. I was very full at the end so do not worry about being hungry at the end. Highly recommended.

The food leaves a lot to be desired. Some nice dishes, and some boring and poorly executed ones. The beef cheek was delicious, salmon slightly overcooked. Anything that says "grilled" on this menu is invariably blowtorched, not grilled. Any place that serves vanilla ice cream as a dessert is not worthy of a michelin guide. Not a bad restaurant, but I wouldn't return.
