AI Spot Summary
The dishes for the business lunch are diverse and generous in portion sizes, with both the main courses and side dishes leaving a lasting impression. The freshness of the angel red shrimp and the thoughtful combination of salmon roe with the tofu are particularly stunning. The soups, such as the fresh fish miso soup, are made with natural ingredients, resulting in a flavor that is naturally smooth and not astringent.
The restaurant is very popular during the lunch hours and is suitable for large group meals. The environment is filled with many seemingly retired elderly people, and seating is limited. In the evening, the izakaya has a great atmosphere, and the items on the blackboard are enticing.
In terms of service, the restaurant offers sufficient seating options, but it is recommended to make a reservation for evening dining. Payment is by cash only.
Reviews
Here’s the translation to English:
A high-value business lunch during weekdays, with different prices based on the main course. You can choose from appetizers, vegetables, rice dishes, and fried items, along with soup and dessert.
Let me share two major advantages:
👍 The portion size for the entire business lunch is so filling that you can skip dinner.
👍 The other side dishes are impressive, with some even surpassing the main course.
【Main Course】
Mixed Skewers 🍢 Set for $399
- Pork wrapped enoki mushrooms, bacon-wrapped cherry tomatoes, chicken skewers, king oyster mushroom skewers, and corn on the cob.
- The overall seasoning is great; it's not too salty or sweet. I found that the chef here is very skilled at using various seasoning methods to elevate simple dishes, but without overdoing it.
- The king oyster mushroom skewer is particularly special. At first, you can't tell what it is, but once you bite into it, the crunchy texture reveals it to be king oyster mushrooms.
Grilled Angel Red Shrimp (5 skewers) 🦐 Set for $399
👍 Besides being very fresh, the presence of shrimp paste is a big plus.
【Appetizers】
Sashimi Salad 🥗
It's basically a lettuce salad with added sashimi, and the corn is meant to be bitten into.
🥹 Just a personal quibble: having been here before, I felt that this time the seared sashimi had more tendons than last time, making it a bit hard to chew.
Shrimp Roe Onion Salad 🥗
Shrimp roe and onions paired with a vinegar dressing; those who love a strong onion flavor will really enjoy this. Overall, it's a bit spicy but also quite refreshing.
【Vegetables】
Sesame Shrimp Spinach Rolls 🥬
It's the flavor combination you would expect, but there's another vegetable dish that surprised me more ⬇️
Wild Mushroom Fiddlehead Ferns 🥬
I personally don't like mushrooms, but my friend loves them, so I decided to order this dish. I originally underestimated it, but after taking a bite, it immediately became a must-order side dish on my list.
👍 It seems they used sesame oil and other unique seasonings to enhance the special flavors of the mushrooms, making it more aromatic and tasty (even those who dislike mushroom flavors might want to give it a try; it could break their stereotypes).
👍 The two crunchy ingredients, fiddlehead ferns and mushrooms, combined together create a wonderful texture.
【Rice Dishes】
Two Pieces of Sushi 🍣
Seared sashimi sushi; the seared sashimi on that day had more tendons than mentioned earlier, making it hard to bite.
Assorted Sushi 🍣
Two rice paddy sushi pieces and two flower sushi pieces.
👍 The proportions are just right; the flower sushi doesn’t overwhelm with cucumber flavor, and the rice paddy sushi isn’t overly sweet from the tofu skin.
👍 Delicious and very generous portions.
【Fried Items】
Karaage Fried Chicken 🍤 performed normally.
👍 Paired with pink mayonnaise, it’s refreshing and not greasy.
Tofu with Salmon Roe 🍤 A tofu dish topped with salmon roe, bonito flakes, grated daikon, and chopped green onions.
👍 It may seem like a simple dish, but you can feel the chef’s attention to detail. The warmth of the tofu combined with the saltiness of the roe, paired with the grated daikon and other ingredients for balance, makes it very harmonious.
【Soup】
Fresh Fish Miso Soup 🍲 The soup contains salmon meat, tofu, and carrots.
👍 It's brewed with natural ingredients, not using flavor packets, so it doesn’t have that uncomfortable bitterness.
👍 The fish and other ingredients are quite generous.
Clam Soup 🍲 +59 yuan extra
I originally underestimated the idea of having to pay extra for clam soup, but when the boss lady served the soup with a rich fresh aroma accompanied by a hint of alcohol, I knew I was wrong.
👍 Just the smell is delightful. It tastes both refreshing and carries the natural delicateness from the clams—another simple but wonderfully representative dish.
👍 The clams, as shown in the photo, are fresh and plentiful, making it worth the extra charge!
【Dessert】
Mochi: Be careful, it’s hot. It’s fresh milk mochi, so it quickly melts in your mouth, and it’s coated in peanut powder—simple and beautiful.
✔️ There are four tables for two and four people each. During weekdays around noon, it gets quite busy with only about three tables left.
✔️ Many retired elderly people gather for meals in groups of 4-6 during weekdays.
✔️ Parking: There are many motorcycle parking spots in the front; for cars, you need to look for parking spaces or park in a public parking lot.
✔️ Cash payment after the meal.
✔️ I heard it gets busier during the evening at the izakaya, and there are many à la carte options on the board, such as exciting caterpillar sushi. I recommend making a reservation for dinner!
