We booked at 1pm and the only course we can select was 8 courses. We were excited and the food was elevating as each dish was served. However, from the 4th dish, restaurant manager started checking on us every 10 mins and approached saying they were closing soon and asked us to prepare wrapping up, by the time it was only 14:10 (they close at 15pm) We haven been to many fine dining restaurants and we were never told to rush due to restaurant’s schedule.

It got more unacceptable that he approached again when we were finishing the last bite of cake and the last sip of coffee, asking us to leave immediately, and it was 15:01.

If you cannot guarantee to serve 8 courses during lunch time within 2 hours and have strict closing hour, you shouldn’t take our reservation and even open slots at the first place.

The most important thing is you should respect your customers and do not disturb as much...

Wow, so good and the hospitality is at another level!

We booked real early to ensure we got a spot. Boy it did not disappoint!

See the menu for the ingredients used in each dish.

The tart was so delicate. The mackerel and miyazaki beef just melts in your mouth! It was a feast for both our eyes and tummy!

Thanks to the great service staff who tried to explain each dish through the help of a translation app 🤣. We spoke no Japanese but food is a universal language! Also thanks for accommodating our request to finish the lunch as we had to catch a connecting bus! Thank you to the lady who walked us out, nice gesture and truly hospitable!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The restaurant is off the main street from Awaza station, easily accessible.

I hope you will enjoy it as...
