The ingredients for some dishes are smoked once you order them, allowing you to enjoy the unique aroma.

    平日の夜に予約して伺いました。平日なのに満席(-_-)予約して良かったー!お店が3階にあるのに、エレベーターがないのは衝撃でしたが。。。二人だったので、とりあえず盛り合わせを頼みました。が、これが失敗。肉の盛り合わせのボリュームがすごい!!!食べても食べても減らない(・・;)味も濃い目なので、終盤はかなりぐったり。燻製はそこまで強くないので、燻製好きじゃない方でも美味しく食べられると思います。

    These shaved ice specialists are only open on the weekend but offer a unique variety of this chilled dessert all year round. Try their Chocolate Fromage with chocolate shaved ice sprinkled with mascarpone cheese, or their Strawberry Milk made with strawberry condensed milk, or the Princess Condensed Milk coated in a layer of espum foam. Each shaved ice treat has an unforgettably novel design.

In the evening, customers can try some of the 11 ingenious variations on Kushiage (skewer-fried meat or vegetables), spare ribs with a hearty sauce, spicy fried chicken wings, and many other foods favored by beer drinkers. This little bit of luxury inside the station also serves Teppanyaki (mixed grill) and Aburishabu (do-it-yourself beef stew made with seared domestic black-haired wagyu)."

    This is a different type of review. I frequented here at least 4 or 5 times a week. I always had the rib and a dark beer. I felt like they enjoyed my patronism and then one day and they were having...
