This was our last dinner in Japan. The food was delicious and the service and atmosphere were fantastic. The owner had a menu with English giving two course selections or you could order off the menu. We used Google Translate to view the full menu. The owner spoke limited English. Again, we used the translation app when we needed. I had the Grilled. Mackerel meal and my companions had the Grilled Salmon meal. I wish we had not waited until our last night to visit.

Unassuming location from the outside, but this was the best meal we ate in Tokyo. All the dishes were superb, but the 3-day marinated pork was incredible!

Kind service...and free ice cream

I enjoy meals here frequently. For lunch I mostly have set meals of grilled fish and simmered fish, and the saikyo-yaki here is extremely delicious. At night I have the course meal, and as you'd expect, the dishes are authentic Japanese cuisine by a chef who trained in kaiseki at a first-class ryotei. The lunch set meals centered on the saikyo-yaki taste superb too, but really I'd like you to enjoy the kaiseki course. To gauge the chef's skill, try the most affordable course first. The way the dashi is made, how the tempura is fried, the use of vinegar, and so on—you can enjoy the taste of a first-class ryotei at an affordable price. Please do try the kaiseki. The tamaji-mushi is very delicious, but you can only have it in the kaiseki. The owner has a shaved head and looks a bit intimidating, but is very kind, so rest assured.

Visited for lunch. Ordered the fried oysters and the black cod saikyo-zuke. The fried oysters were large, with no off-flavors at all, paired perfectly with the tartar sauce, and were the best I've ever had. My companion had the saikyo-zuke and said it was superb too. It's close, 5 minutes from Komagome Station's South Exit, and the location is very good, so I'd like to visit again.
