The various set menus available here offer the chance to try other dishes alongside the shabu-shabu or sukiyaki, such as kaiseki-style dishes. Those looking for a quiet dining experience will appreciate the restaurant’s peaceful private rooms separated by sliding doors. Lunchtime shabu-shabu, sukiyaki and steak set menus are an opportunity to taste high-grade wagyu at surprisingly accessible prices.
