One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Japan! The course menu was absolutely incredible, with exceptional Kobe beef and equally amazing vegetarian options. It’s rare to find a restaurant where both meat eaters and vegetarians can enjoy such an outstanding experience. The service was impeccable, and our drink selections were just as impressive. Tucked away on a quiet backstreet, the restaurant opens up into a beautiful, intimate space surrounded by gorgeous bonsai trees. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and service was top-notch. Highly, highly recommend, especially if you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience that caters to both vegetarians and meat lovers!

This place was recommended by the chef of another yakitori restaurant which was not open while we were in Tokyo visiting. And it did not disappoint. It’s in the basement level of a building and very lively from the moment you enter. The mood is convivial, a nice change from some of the upscale sushi places. We had the basic set course menu which was plenty of food. Everything was tasty and it was fun to try all the different parts of a chicken. Would recommend to anyone!
