Cozy spot with wooden beams and warm lights. Perfect for studying or a date. But honestly, the portions are a bit small for the price. My pasta dish was tasty, but I was still a little hungry after.

Meat kinpira udon was my pick. The broth had a good depth, and the noodles were just the right chew. The mixed rice was a nice side, simple but tasty. Grabbed a few extra tempura bits from the table too. Solid lunch.

Found this little izakaya that does lunch curry! Tried their chicken katsu curry set. The curry sauce had a nice depth, not too sweet. The katsu was perfectly crispy. Parking right outside was a plus.

The view of Mount Fuji from my table was just stunning. I tried their Mont Blanc for dessert, and honestly, it&#39;s the best version I&#39;ve ever tasted. The texture was incredible.

The hoto noodles were a real find. The broth had a nice depth to it, not just salty. And those thick, chewy noodles? Exactly what I was hoping for on a chilly day.

The tasting menu was a nice surprise. Each course had its own thing going on, flavors were clean and well put together. A solid meal from beginning to end.

The daily recommended fish is where it&#39;s at. Tuna selection was a highlight, so fresh. The rest felt pretty standard for a kaiten spot, but those specials made it worth it.

Glad they were open on a quiet weekday. The soba and tempura set was pretty good, especially the tempura &ndash; light and crispy. The soba broth was decent, though a touch on the salty side for me. A solid choice.

Cash only, but they have parking. The sweetfish was a nice taste of the local cuisine.

The live horse mackerel nigiri was the star. You could really taste the freshness from Izu. The texture was incredible, so smooth and clean. Definitely a must-order!

Great sake list with some local ones too. Staff knew their stuff and explained pairings nicely, didn&#39;t feel rushed at all.

The meat miso with green onions is a must. Their house sake was a nice pairing, though the portion felt a bit small.

Such a cozy spot with all the plants! The friendly staff chatting with each other made it feel really welcoming.

The char siu in the ramen was so tender. A really generous portion too, which made the whole bowl feel quite satisfying. The booth seating was a nice touch, made it easy to relax.

Ordering on the tablet was very efficient, even when the place was packed. The self-checkout saved a lot of time.

The view is the main draw. On a clear day, you can see Mount Fuji perfectly. The matcha soft serve parfait was a nice touch.

The homemade ice cream and sorbet were a lovely finish. I especially enjoyed the persimmon flavor&mdash;it was so refreshing. The servers were very attentive about clearing plates between courses, which made the whole meal feel relaxed and unhurried.

Been coming here for years. Their vegetable tempura is always crispy and satisfying, just like the first time.

Dog-friendly terrace was perfect for lunch with our pet. The grilled pork main was tasty, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, a nice spot.

The sushi rice here is just right, not too large. I especially liked the Saku Tama egg. The seats are quite comfortable, which made for a very relaxed meal.

The miso soup base with pumpkin was so good, especially on a chilly day. Portions are huge, definitely share!
