Booked a table for a birthday. The staff was really nice&mdash;they played the song, brought a little dessert with a candle. It was a sweet touch.

Stopped by for a coffee. Staff were really friendly and spoke great English, which helped a lot. Nice, relaxed spot to sit for a bit.

The sparkling sake on tap was a highlight. They also bring out little pickles and sweets, which is a thoughtful touch. The seats are comfortable, and the service is very relaxed. A nice, easy spot for a quiet drink.

The baked sardines with cheese were so good! The fish was tender and the cheese on top was perfectly melted. A nice surprise. The Miyuki pork prosciutto was also tasty, really flavorful.

Vegetarian thali was delicious. Portions were generous. Good options for vegans too. They can do gluten-free if you ask. Solid meal.

Been coming here for years. The medium spice (B) always hits the spot&mdash;lets the curry flavor come through just right.

Got here right at opening to snag a table&mdash;this place is always packed! The uni pasta was the star, super creamy and fresh. A bit pricey, but that flavor was spot on.

The fried Houtou was a nice surprise. Crispy outside, soft inside. It went perfectly with their pale ale. The pasta version was a bit too heavy for me, though. Still, a fun local find.

First time trying the premium soft serve here. The texture was interesting, almost like sherbet.

The matcha soft serve here is the real deal. So rich and intense, just like the kind I had in Kyoto. My friends and I shared one after dinner and it was the perfect way to end our hangout.

The tempura batter was so light, and the maitake mushroom inside was incredibly fresh. It paired perfectly with the simple, clean taste of the soba noodles. A very satisfying and balanced meal.

Took the family here for lunch. The kids&#39; menu was a solid deal - good portions for the price. My little one had the chicken tenders, and it was enough for him to share with his sister. Staff was nice about it, too.

Came here with a few friends and grabbed a table on the second floor. It was lively but not too loud, perfect for catching up. The vibe is really chill. We ordered the grilled chicken skewers and they were just okay, a bit dry maybe. Still, a fun spot for a casual hangout.

Had to wait a bit for a table, but they have a waitlist system. The coffee was good, and I really enjoyed the dessert. The fruit on the cake tasted so fresh.

The blueberry yogurt shaved ice was just right, not too sweet. I really liked the space&mdash;lots of natural light and the wooden tables felt warm. A nice spot to just relax for a bit.

Been coming here for years, and the curry rice is still the main reason. It&#39;s got that same deep, rich flavor every time. The place gets packed, so I always try to grab an early table.

Stayed overnight after the tasting menu. The room was simple, cozy like a mountain cabin. Falling into bed after all those courses was the best part.

Their lunch set included a creative vegetarian starter, paired nicely with a crisp white wine.

The wood-fired Italian dishes at this restaurant are truly exceptional, showcasing local ingredients with a unique aroma that enhances the dining experience.

The waitlist system works well, you can browse the shop while waiting. The ingredients tasted so fresh, definitely worth the short wait.

Only set menu on weekends, but the soba was the highlight. Perfect for a long, chatty dinner with friends.

The steak was spot on, and their wine list had a nice pairing suggestion for the lamb.

The private room was nice, felt safe with the air purifier running. But for the price, I expected a bit more space honestly. It was a bit tight for our group of four.

The soba is really good here. You can tell they care about the noodles, they even mill their own flour.

Came by for a quick lunch. It&#39;s got that classic, old-school Chinese restaurant vibe, not just a ramen spot. Place was clean and packed with local families. Had the noodles, solid.
