We came quite early just after 10 in the morning, there was no queue. We had classic taimeshi set and seasonal one with tuna sashimi. Food arrived very quickly. Sea bram was fresh and very tasty. Tuna was also very good. Worth mentioning is that restaurant adds additional 10% service charge to the bill.

Had one of the best ramen noodles at this restaurant near the temple. The cold weather complimented the hot beef ramen in a lovely broth. I loved it. We had complimentary green tea that was so refreshing. Will definitely visit again.

Incredible lunch. The restaurant serves just one exceptional dish, called tai meshi, super fresh and tasty. Staff were very friendly and the language barrier was not an issue, they were so happy to help us understand how to combine the plates. Very lucky to discover this place, one of out highlights of original great food in Japan.
