Without knowing what type of cuisine they specialized in, we entered the small restaurant. The atmosphere wasn't bad, so we ordered a reasonable lunch (1,400 yen). The main options were a choice between meat and pasta, so we each chose one and they kindly provided us with separate plates. The appetizer, cabbage potage, pork piccata & small shrimp spaghetti, and a hot coffee were all delicious, despite not being made with extravagant ingredients. I could feel the chef's delicacy in every dish.

They offer a special lunch with a choice of pasta or a main dish, and today I got the Gokan lunch with just the main dish. It took a bit longer for the food to come out, but everything from the appetizer to the drinks was delicious, just as the reviews said! I will definitely go again.

We were able to walk in without a reservation. There were two lunch options: pasta course and meat course, and I chose the meat (chicken) course. When I tried to order cake, the staff warned me that it was quite filling, so it would be better to order it after finishing everything else. I followed their advice and didn't even make it to the cake! The course was so satisfying and had a great volume. The course included appetizer platter, soup, meat and vegetable platter, bread, and a drink, all for the very reasonable price of 1200 yen. I definitely want to go back to this restaurant.
