- Inside the restaurant, we had a private room. I had never experienced having yakitori in a private room before, so I couldn't imagine what it would be like, but they brought the food promptly and the speed was great.
- Both the private room and the counter had a nice atmosphere.
- We had the omakase course which included:
- French foie gras croquette: Very delicious! However, it was a bit oily when lifted, giving the impression that the oil had not been drained properly.
- Seasonal chawanmushi in one spoon: A gentle flavor, nothing out of the ordinary.
- Iguchi homemade liver pate with homemade bread: Toasted bread with pate spread on top, a new and tasty combination.
- Luxurious chicken soup cooked for 8 hours: A soup rich in chicken flavor, reminiscent of Ttakkanmari. It was delicious.
- Japanese vegetable salad: A salad with cucumber and watermelon, refreshing and surprisingly delicious with the watermelon adding a summer touch.
- Kachokabaro cheese from Nitta Ranch in Hokkaido: Delicious cheese with concentrated umami.
- Recommended skewers: 5 pieces of green onion and chicken breast yakitori with delicious wasabi from Gotemba, and chicken wing meatball: The chicken meatball was the best I've ever had. It was rich in flavor without needing any sauce or egg yolk, just bursting with the natural umami of the chicken.
- Recommended binchotan-style skewers: Gizzards, seseri (chicken neck), heart, and bonjiri (chicken tail), and vegetables such as tomato, zucchini, mushrooms, and eggplant: Other skewers were delicious but nothing extraordinary.
- For the finale, we had:
- Carbonara: Extremely delicious, reminiscent of authentic Italian carbonara. It was mainly made with eggs, with a strong pepper and truffle aroma that made you want to keep eating.
- Oyakodon (fluffy and soft): I was curious about what "fluffy and soft" meant, and it turned out to be a sweet egg oyakodon that looked like a sauce. It was like a sushi egg, and it was a great way to end the course.
The foie gras croquette, cucumber and watermelon salad, chicken meatball, and carbonara were particularly delicious. Overall, the food was tasty, served promptly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was calm and pleasant. It truly lived up to its reputation as a popular restaurant.
