I&rsquo;ve been wanting to try this old-school kissaten for ages. Finally went for lunch&mdash;the curry rice was so simple and comforting. Felt like stepping back in time for a bit.

The scones had a perfect crunch, and the tea selection was spot-on. Just right for a slow afternoon.

The terrace view is right on the water, really nice. Had a lunch there. But for the price, the portions felt a bit small.

Came with friends and we shared the soy milk hotpot. The mentaiko and butter combo was a fun twist. Good for chatting over a simmering pot, though it got a bit pricey splitting it.

The menu here has a lot going on. I tried the horse sashimi for the first time &mdash; it was surprisingly tender. A bit of a leap, but glad I did it.

Booked ahead for a Friday night, good thing we did&mdash;it&#39;s cozy and fills up fast! Perfect for catching up with a couple friends, we could actually hear each other talk. The small space makes it feel more intimate. Just be ready to maybe wait a bit if you&#39;re a bigger group.

Great for early trains, right by Okayama Station. The 24-hour thing is super handy when you&#39;re traveling.

Each dish was a delightful surprise, showcasing the chef&#39;s creativity and attention to detail. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, making for a memorable dining experience.
