Weekend lunch set is a good deal. The pizza from the oven near the door had a nice crispy crust. Appetizer plate was okay, a bit of everything.

The thick-cut beef tongue with salt is the reason I came. Juicy, with a great texture. A bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d order it again.

The wasabi leaves starter is nice. I usually get the soba set, but the noodle portion is huge, couldn&#39;t finish it all. The soup is light, and the fresh wasabi is sweet, not harsh.

They have a few veggie dishes. The staff was really friendly and checked in a couple times. Made it easy to just relax.

The grilled beef. Ordered medium rare, came out exactly that. Juicy, tender, no chewiness at all. The sear was good. Just focused on that one plate.

The Shinshu beef stew was very tender, and the sauce had a nice depth to it. What really stood out was the calm, dignified feel of the place. Loved the beautiful retro tableware they use &ndash; it added a quiet, classy touch to the whole meal.

Sicilian food done right. The focaccia was fresh, warm. Caponata had that perfect sweet-sour thing going on. Felt like a small family spot back home.

Walked in hungry, saw the Japanese menu prices first. Ordered the wagyu steak anyway - it was really juicy. Sashimi was fresh too. Just noticed later the English menu was a bit pricier.

The wooden walls have this lovely, worn-in warmth. It&#39;s just so calming, especially with that soft jazz playing in the background.

Stopped by after visiting the castle. Right by the station, super convenient. Got a seat at the counter&mdash;nice for eating alone. Had the soba set, it was solid. Quick and easy.

I&#39;ve always thought eel places were just unaju. But here, they had grilled eel liver on the menu. It was a small, rich bite that completely shifted my perspective.

Stopped by after seeing Matsumoto Castle. The tonkatsu set was the move &mdash; the pork cutlet had a really nice, crispy breading. They even include a little piece of pineapple for dessert, which was a fun touch. It&#39;s a popular lunch spot, so maybe expect a short wait.

Came here for the first time and the lamb dumplings with apple and onion sauce were a real find. Ended up getting a second order because they were that good.

The staff were so friendly and patient. Even with the language barrier, they took their time explaining the menu. It made ordering feel relaxed and easy. The service was really considerate.
