We were lucky to be alone for almost the whole time, so we really enjoyed the place and got the most out of the whole experience. Such a vibe. The healing curry was honestly so good. Some flavour I’ve never tried before, combined with other new flavours which were just as unexpected and wholesome. We actually visited this cafe 7 months ago, but forgot to write a review. I recently remembered about this place and I’m planning to go back very soon to see if they added some winter choices in their menu. We loved the service, the place and the food. We will see you again soon!

Hidden in the backstreets, but seems to be very popular with young Japanese people. It's like a date spot. There is wa-shitsu style seating. Might be a great spot to visit during winter. We tried their curry, waffle set and purin set. There were not any vegetarian food options if I remember correctly. The way food is decorated on the plate was so artistic. It was like a sculpture arrangement. I was little disappointed though cuz we went there on a rain thunder day, and were soaked wet when we entered. I wished they offered to bring the heater closer to us because of how wet all our clothes were... But maybe that is not an expected kind of consideration in Japan. Hoping to go back on a nicer day some other time.

You can choose to sit at a table and chair or on the tatami floor with a table. The decorations, the staff, the atmosphere, the food were all fantastic. Despite not being a set menu, there was still ample food offered. The individual side dishes complemented the curry so well that you could continue to eat the curry. The curry has a very deep flavor and was delicious.

But service was very bad We wanted to order a dish but they said it was sold out and the next (Japanese) couple that ordered it could get it. And the following customer also ordered that dish. When we asked about it the explanation was not clear. I am not sure what happened but we felt mistreated compared with the Japanese customers. Note: I live in Kamakura and understand Japanese pretty well. Reply: If I think my review affects foreign people, of course I have to write it in English. Anyways, my written Japanese is not so good, I will reply to you in English. Japanese customers could order something that was supposedly sold out just 3 minutes after we could not. It felt really strange. Mistakes happen but you did not try to fix it at the moment but waited until we complained. I change stars from 1 to 3 because I accept your apologies but still think the service was not good. I will not talk about Japan as country or other stores. I think it has nothing to do with this review.
