Most of the restaurant's menu selections are accordingly simple and served with mugimeshi boiled barley and rice. The tail soup, made by slow-stewing beef tail, is a secret yet highly popular dish the restaurant serves. This hearty dish is sure to satisfy.

    なかなか人気のお店のようで土曜日の11時30分少し前に訪問したところ既に数組が開店を待っていました。 予め決めていた数量限定の穴子丼を注文。 思いのほか早く提供されたと思ったら、どうも作り置きをしていたもののようで穴子が少し冷めています。数量限定ってこういうことかと少し気分が萎えました。 ただ穴子は大ぶりなものが2枚入っていて食べごたえは十分。身も柔らかくタレもくど過ぎず味は満足できるもの。 期待...
