Chūnagon — Restaurant in Tokyo

We came here to celebrate a belated birthday and ordered one of the course items that included the sashimi, salad, baked, and other lobster dishes.

The first dish was a nice abalone with ground mountain potatoes. It was a nice light taste with a great texture.

However, the delicious food and friendly/professional service totally makes this a great experience, in my...
