Hidden at the corner of Wanhua Street, this Japanese restaurant has been warming the stomachs and hearts of local patrons since its opening in 1997. The founder spent two years in Tokyo studying Japanese cuisine, mastering traditional techniques before returning to Taiwan, where he also honed his skills at a top kaiseki restaurant.

The menu offers classic Japanese items including sashimi, stir-fries, tempura, and grilled dishes. While it doesn't pursue elaborate plating, it captivates customers with its "generous portions and fresh, honest flavors." The sashimi is cut thick, offering a fresh and sweet taste without any fishy smell; this restaurant gained its reputation with its super huge salmon nigiri, making a name for itself in one fell swoop. The tempura is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a light, non-greasy aroma; the stir-fried udon noodles are coated in rich sauce and paired with crunchy vegetables, providing a satisfying fullness.

If you want to experience authentic Japanese flavors and are tired of overpriced fancy restaurants, this little place is definitely one of the great choices in the Wanhua area.
