I would recommend anyone to go here, even if you do not like fried food.
The chef was terrific and so friendly, he tried his best to communicate with us even though his English was limited.
I did the course with beef cutlet sandwiches. The beef cutlet sandwiches just melt in your mouth.

Very intimate bar setting in an alley (3rd floor and sign is in Japanese so give a little extra time to find it). They didn’t speak much English BUT they more for made up it with their kind nature and DELICIOUS bites of food.
Despite everything being fried it was very light and we felt fabulous after. Favorite bites were the tofu/sesame, chateaubriand, and one combining shrimp, scallops and herbs. Would definitely recommend for a unique and...
