Description

This skilfully run Japanese restaurant takes its inspiration from 19C author Kanagaki Robun, who is credited with introducing barbecued food to Japan. The cooking reflects his influence, with dishes from the robata grill forming the central part of a menu that is distinguished by fresh produce and an authentic approach. Excellent sushi and a strikingly presented afternoon tea also stand out on the vast menu.

Value perception is divided, with some finding it fair and others citing high costs and non-discretionary service charges. Overall, it offers a distinct Japanese dining experience with inconsistent execution across different visits.

Suitable for diners seeking a stylish atmosphere and specific Japanese cuisine, but advisable to avoid peak hours and confirm service details in advance.
