Sashimi&#39;s fresh, and the live shrimp on the platter was a unique touch. The conger eel tempura is thick and crispy.

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 black curry udon is their signature. Demi-glace base makes it rich, and the portion is generous.

Nice quiet spot. Semi-basement entrance gives it a chill, authentic vibe. Just a simple place for a relaxed meal.

The owner was so nice and explained the menu in English for us! Made our girls&#39; night feel extra welcoming.

Been coming here for years. No printed menu, but the owner always walks you through the day&#39;s catch. That little chat while ordering is what keeps me coming back. It&#39;s just nice.

They grill the eel right there by the entrance. Saw them working while we waited. Our order came out in maybe 10 minutes, so that explains the speed. The eel itself was nicely done, not dry at all.

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

Cozy little spot! We shared a bunch of seafood plates and tried a few different local sakes. The staff was super nice and checked on us just the right amount&mdash;perfect for catching up with friends without feeling rushed. 😊

The anpan were quite decent. They&#39;re small and bite-sized, which was nice. I had a couple and found them surprisingly filling. A pretty good little treat.
