(16.8 August) On this day, we had a family gathering for the Bon festival, and this year we chose this place. We usually have BBQ every summer, but couldn't find a place big enough for the whole group. Normally, we would go for the premium all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, but considering the age of the attendees and the hot summer weather, we decided to go for set meals instead. My wife had the Iberico pork steak and sashimi set for 2,138 yen (tax included), and I had the beef fillet steak and eel steamed set for 2,894 yen (tax included). We also ordered the beef fillet steak and tempura set, as well as the sashimi set. Unfortunately, the service was quite poor as the orders were mixed up, there was no explanation of the dishes (no guidance on which sauce to use), and there were missing items like salt for the condiments. The beef fillet steak and eel steamed set was more like grilled meat, not really a steak. The eel was cut into small pieces and was not very impressive. The Iberico pork, on the other hand, was quite delicious with a nice balance of fat and sweetness. Overall, the meal was average, and we felt that the premium shabu-shabu would have been a better choice.
(2.8 December) During the winter bonus season, my son and daughter treated me to a meal, and my son recommended this all-you-can-eat place. We have been here before for shabu-shabu and set meals, but my son recently tried the Premium Course and found it to be a great deal, so we decided to go. We made a reservation a week in advance, but there was still a considerable wait on the day. The seating in the sunken kotatsu style was comfortable. We opted for the Premium Course with carefully selected pork for 2,980 yen (excluding tax). The course included pork, meatballs, vegetables, as well as udon and soba noodles for all-you-can-eat. We chose two flavors for the hot pot, yuzu salt and soy-based broth, both of which were delicious. The course also included all-you-can-eat sushi, kushikatsu, and seasonal dishes. The sushi was average, but the kushikatsu was freshly fried and tasty. The seasonal sweet shrimp dish was large and flavorful, and the grilled crab miso and crab shell were also delicious. We ended with a seasonal kamameshi rice, which was rich and tasty. For dessert, we each chose one item, with options like matcha ice cream, chocolate cake, mini daifuku, and matcha mochi. Overall, the meal was satisfying with a wide variety of choices available, making it a great value for the price.
