Visited for the first time with my parents, wife, and daughter, a party of five. Despite making a reservation on a weekday afternoon, there were no private rooms available, but the spacious dining area had ample distance between tables, so it didn't feel crowded. As expected from Kisoji, the atmosphere was great. We opted for the Kiso kaiseki set, which was surprisingly generous for the price of 2000 yen. The food was delicious and satisfying, truly living up to the reputation of Kisoji.

It's been a while since I visited Kisoji. The area around the shop was filled with blooming hydrangeas. Even inside the restaurant, hydrangeas were beautifully displayed. I was seated and ready to enjoy some shabu-shabu, but I always end up ordering the lunch set instead. The seasonal dishes are always colorful and delightful, which is why it's my favorite. I usually go for the most affordable Kiso set (1760 yen), but this time I was drawn to the Hida set (2420 yen) because of the grilled dish. I chose the mixed grain rice. Before the grilled dish was ready, I enjoyed some appetizers: grilled fish, rolled omelette, and what looked like a cherry tomato turned out to be jelly - a surprise! The tempura was crispy and hot, and the tuna sashimi was rich and tender. The grilled dish was delicious, with miso and beef complementing each other well. Underneath the beef, there were hidden vegetables like tomato, zucchini, and broccoli, adding variety in color and texture. The tomato was peeled carefully for a smooth texture. The chawanmushi had a sweet potato paste topping, a nice touch. After the meal, I was served warm tea and a matcha milk yokan, which was kept cool until the end. The seasonal dessert looked tempting - I'll try the mango anmitsu next time. I'll definitely visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It was a weekday afternoon, but the restaurant was pleasantly busy. You can probably get in without a reservation, but it might be safer to make one just in case. Lunch is recommended, around ¥1500, for a relaxed meal. The majority of customers are in their 40s and older, so you can enjoy a calm atmosphere. The seats are spaced out well. We ordered the already prepared sukiyaki and it was delicious.

I came to Ohashi after a long time, so I didn't hesitate to choose this place for lunch. They had a spring menu which all looked delicious, but today I chose the Kiso set (1760 yen). It included chirashi sushi, tara, and other cute menu items that are popular among women. After a short wait, the food was brought to me, as always, looking very elegant. The tara was in mini size and beautifully presented. The chirashi sushi was warm steamed sushi, and inside there was minced meat in a kind of sakura mochi. It's a menu item that I would never make at home, but it was delicious with the sakura leaf accent. The tempura was crispy and hot, and the sashimi was tuna and seared squid. The chawanmushi had a consistent taste. After enjoying the meal, I had dessert which was a three-color yokan resembling Hina Matsuri. It was delicious. They also have luxurious menu items like crab and blowfish which are popular. I will visit again, thank you for the meal!

I came to eat the menu that caught my eye when I ate matsutake mushrooms the other day. I was intrigued by the chestnut rice in the lunch set. I love chestnut rice! It's so hard to peel the chestnuts at home! Even though I tried my best to make chestnut rice at home, the men in my house said it would be better with white rice, so I decided to eat it outside instead. There are various dishes that women love, such as carpaccio and scallop cockle stew. The hot tempura was delicious again today. The chestnut rice was fluffy and tasty. While looking at the menu on the table, I saw a newsletter sign-up offer. I signed up and chose apple juice for the drink service. They brought me apple juice along with today's dessert, white dumplings with sweet red bean paste. You can also choose a glass of beer, but I passed on it today because I have a busy afternoon ahead. It would have been even better if they offered coffee, but the service is already great. The fugu lunch seems reasonable and good for a year-end party lunch with friends. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I have repeated visits many times♡ Even during the pandemic, I finally went after a long time! The sashimi set meal, although the price has gone up... I am very satisfied with the quality❣ The parking lot is large and easy to park. It is located near the station and along a main street, so it is easy to find. There are private rooms available, but I couldn't make a reservation this time. The private rooms have a calm atmosphere where you can relax comfortably♡ I want to go again soon♪

I came to Ohashi once again. After finishing my errands, I headed straight here today without getting lost, haha. The typhoon has passed, and it has completely become autumn, so I came to eat matsutake mushrooms with a half-price coupon for dobin mushi while it's still valid. There are many menu options, but for a limited time, they have matsutake mushroom sukiyaki sets! There are 4 grades of meat to choose from, and after much consideration, I chose the Japanese beef with marbled fat (3410 yen). It's so luxurious, haha, excessively luxurious. I chose the 16-grain rice for the rice option. I also ordered the dobin mushi as an additional order (half-price at 880 yen). It's a lunch full of matsutake mushrooms and autumn flavors. However, it's crowded today as well. Most of the customers are groups of older ladies. The table seats were full, and I was guided to a sunken kotatsu table in the large hall, which was also quickly filling up. I arrived early before lunchtime, but it's so busy! When I left, there were several groups waiting. It arrived! The sukiyaki is already prepared, so I couldn't see how marbled the meat was, but it's very tender and delicious. However, it was too rich for me, so I might have been fine with one grade lower, the domestic beef loin, haha. There were 5-6 slices of matsutake mushrooms hidden at the bottom, and although thin, they had a unique texture and were delicious. But if you want to further enjoy the aroma and texture, maybe the Matsutake Mushroom Assortment (1980 yen) from a different menu would be better? It's a bit too luxurious for a solo lunch, so I'll save it for next year, haha. The dobin mushi arrived a bit later. It was full of ingredients like shrimp, conger eel, chicken, and ginkgo nuts, and there were more matsutake mushrooms than I expected. The elegant broth was very delicious. It resets the rich flavor of the sukiyaki. I feel like I could eat as much as I want. It really makes me feel the appetite of autumn, haha. After a delicious meal, it's time for a delicious dessert! I was tempted by the chestnut Mont Blanc, but I chose the grape and pear anmitsu (660 yen). It's full of autumn fruits. The unique split spoon makes it easy to eat, and it's delicious until the last bite with the black syrup drizzle. The autumn lunch set also looked delicious, and I'm still curious about the shabu-shabu. I'll visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I came to Ohashi for the first time in a while for lunch today. I usually come by train, but this time I decided to take the bus and found Kisoji near the bus stop! The atmosphere is calm and the staff are dressed in kimonos. The clientele is mostly older, but in the back private rooms, there are several families having what seems to be celebratory meals. They also have a children's menu, so everyone can enjoy. I was dining alone, so I was seated at a table. The staff even brought a furoshiki to protect my bag from getting dirty. The menu has a variety of options, and I chose the most affordable Kiso set today (1650 yen) with multigrain rice. I also added a coffee for after the meal (385 yen). While I was browsing the menu, the matsutake mushrooms were already being served. I love matsutake in sukiyaki, and I always want to have the steamed dish every year. The meal was served all at once, and it was luxurious and elegant. The Inaniwa udon was delicious and perfect for summer. The cold shabu-shabu with tender beef was also a delight. The tuna was moist and delicious, and I enjoyed the tororo on rice. The summer vegetable simmered dish and crispy tempura were both light and elegant. The mini dessert at the end was mango jelly, which was okay but not as good as the main dishes. I should have ordered the peach anmitsu for an additional charge. I had time before my bus, so I asked for a refill of coffee. The delicious lunch came to an end. This menu is available until the 25th of this month, and the autumn menu with a slight price increase will start from the 26th. I received a discount coupon at the checkout, and I realized that the matsutake steamed dish was half off. I must come back next month to try it. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

The Ohashi restaurant was my first visit, and it had a luxurious atmosphere where I could relax. The eye-catching cold shabu-shabu and Inaniwa udon were served cold with ice, and you could enjoy them twice with both dipping sauce and sesame sauce. I had eel and grated yam with sixteen-grain rice. The service included hot coffee and for dessert, cold sweet sake with rice cakes, making the whole experience enjoyable and delicious until the end.

I went for lunch for the second time! I had the Hirusen lunch at Tsumago. It included grilled beef wrapped in leaves, tempura, sashimi, miso-marinated cod, chawanmushi, pickles, and dessert. I was full! Last time I had the sukiyaki set, which was delicious, but I feel like all the dishes have a strong flavor.

It seems like they regularly hold a shabu-shabu festival. I might only visit during that time, haha. Shabu-shabu is prepared by them, so I feel like the taste can be influenced by whether the staff are friendly or not. You can choose between flat noodles and Chinese noodles at the end. I usually had flat noodles with mochi, but this time the mochi was gone and the flat noodles were thicker, so I chose Chinese noodles. I ate the Chinese noodles with consomme mixed with the remaining broth from the beef shabu, and it was delicious. For dessert, I had chestnut ice cream.

The celebration with my family was delicious ❤️

I had a seasonal limited Hinamatsuri lunch.

Today, I went to Kisoji for the first time in a while! I made a reservation for 11 o'clock. Maybe I didn't need to make a reservation after all. I was able to try a variety of dishes and they were all delicious! ✨

I use it many times! It's cheap and has a variety of options! The parking lot is spacious too!

We use it every year for our company's New Year's party. We let the employees eat as much good meat as they want, so it ends up being quite expensive... Lately, we have been having fugu served at the beginning.

I'm sorry I didn't take any photos. The atmosphere was very upscale, so I didn't feel like I could take pictures. This time, I went to try the limited matsutake mushroom fair. I didn't have to worry about my wallet, so I indulged. I ordered a set of matsutake mushrooms and domestic wagyu beef. My companion was driving, so we toasted with a non-alcoholic drink. A sesame tofu appetizer was served, followed by the setup of eggs and a hot pot. We waited for about 20 minutes, feeling hungry. Then, a large plate of beautifully sliced domestic beef was served. The matsutake mushrooms, which I thought would be just a small addition, turned out to be quite a generous portion, about three mushrooms' worth. The hostess started grilling them for us. The aroma of sesame oil and beef fat filled the air as she grilled the matsutake mushrooms, and then added the beef. The beef was cooked just until there was a hint of pink, then transferred to a plate where I mixed it with the egg. The first bite of matsutake mushroom was delicious! The matsutake mushrooms this season seem to be from China, but the taste and aroma were not much different from domestic ones. It was delicious. Next, the combination of beef and matsutake mushrooms was amazing! It was the taste of happiness. They also served some vegetables on the side. Then, it was our turn to cook. We ordered rice here. We indulged in beef and matsutake mushrooms. We wanted more, so we added another two servings of beef. A tomato salad or side dish was served in the middle of the meal, with a delicious vinegar flavor. For dessert, we had matcha ice cream and finished with green tea. It was very delicious. I would love to go back again!

Thank you for the delicious meal!
