A counter and a tatami room in the back The counter is always lively with regulars They make an omakase sashimi platter with lots of kinds in small portions, so it's just the right amount Besides that, from seasonal dishes to homemade dishes, everything has an extra twist or two—no misses The day I visited, there was salt-grilled Pacific saury and dobin-mushi packed with matsutake; dishes range from dashimaki to gratin and more—a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese

[Visited 2020.08] Went with my partner-in-crime/client to a shop I'd saved after seeing reviews. 千利-san, located in a slightly niche area a little away from Juso Station. Visited after making a reservation in advance. They had counter seats ready for us. Drinks ●Draft beer 450yen ↓ ●Naminooto Junmai 500yen [Shiga] ↓ ●Tamanohikari Junmai Ginjo 600yen [Kyoto] The local sake lineup is on the small side, just 2 kinds. But they're quietly picks that suit my taste (´ω`) The otoshi was a dressed dish of whelk, squid, and cucumber. Snacks ■Kensaki squid sashimi 850yen Nice that it comes with ikura (*´з`) The carefully made hidden knife cuts are lovely. Thanks to them, the texture and umami are outstanding! The freshness is impeccable too. ■Fried yam and shrimp shinjo 820yen The fluffiness of grated yam and the umami of shrimp—the strongest tag team. It's well seasoned, so you can eat it as is. A professional dish that took time and effort. ■Hamo and matsutake tempura 1,000yen Eaten with salt. A pleasantly crisp bite and hot, flaky flesh. The fragrant matsutake is outstandingly tasty too. ■Small shrimp and celery 750yen Dressed in a mayo-based sauce. Refreshing with just the right tartness. ■Squid shiokara 350yen Not too salty, a refined saltiness. Can't go wrong with sake. ■Clear shijimi clam soup (on the house) They served it to us after the meal♪ A liver-recovery soup packed with taurine. It really sinks in (´_ゝ｀)・・ Heartwarming service from the owner, calm from start to finish. An array of thoughtful snacks. An irresistibly comfortable shop (^。^) I'd definitely like to visit again, thanks for the meal.

Everything was delicious! I especially liked the nanbanzuke🐟

A cozy shop! The off-menu pork chop and the oyakodon to finish are superb!

It's not a big shop, but there's a counter and a small room in the back that seats 7~8 people. The shop is run by two people, a friendly master and mama. If they're not busy, they'll even take a few requests. The food is very delicious too!
