Our little American family went for our wedding anniversary, we brought our 2 young kids and they were very accommodating, that was such a relief! They even let out kids split a combo order.

The course style meals are similar to what most Americans have probably experienced at chain locations like Tanaka of Tokyo, Benihana, Kobe Steakhouse etc … the biggest difference is the incredible quality of every piece of the meal. The setting is quiet and respectful … the cooks provide no entertainment or chatter like we’re used to. The focus is preparation & perfection.

The shrimp served were delicious and the Hayama Beef was tender, juicy and buttery. The steak fat is separated and cooked longer, then rendered and served on top of bean sprouts - it was so oily and flavorful in the simplest way.

We had a kind Japanese man at our table … but he was overly distracting our dinner and the rest of the restaurant, perhaps he was a little too drunk? he meant well but created some awkward vibes. Everyone was looking at him interacting with us.

It wasn’t a big deal to us but the staff and CEO/Management was so kind in apologizing many times. It was heart warming customer service for us.

Located on Komachi Street with plenty to do in the Kamakura area … it’s a perfect destination for a special dinner date & close to the train station.

The Management spoke good English as well, so don’t be scared to call to make a reservation.

We’ll be back again!
