There were plenty of seats when I went in the late afternoon. Ordered several dishes which included sliced duck meat, shrimp kakiage, seiro soba, chawanmushi, and red bean manju. The duck meat was lean but tender, quite pricey for three slices. Shrimp kakiage appears to hold it's shape from the soft batter filling, topped with crispy tempura flakes; this is probably best eaten in a hot broth. Soba was good but the portion was small; sobayu was provided after to finish the remaining soba dipping sauce. For the chawanmushi, the staff will check to see if you are ok to wait as it takes more time to prepare compared to other dishes (about 20 minutes for me). The chawanmushi has conger eel, ginkgo nuts, shrimp, duck meatball and at the bottom some udon noodles which I didn't expect; it was tasty and hearty. Overall the food and service was pretty good; the staffs were attentive.
