Cosy little place and at the same time busy. Love the food. Everything was delicious. We had the pork belly, chicken thigh, chicken liver, miso cod, king mushroom, and most especially the Wagyu short rib. I will highly recommend to friends. Don’t forget to order the burdock chips.

The freshly shucked Tasmania oysters we had this evening is of premium quality, fatty juicy tasty; the best we had this year so far and the dish of the night. O-Toro sashimi and A5 Kagoshima Wagyu are good as usual. The only let down for this evening is the matcha cheesecake; it’s a bit too dry and hard compared to what we had in previous visits. Good friendly service as always.
