Question 1

Is it worth going out of your way for?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are interested in a highly specific, technique-focused tasting menu that reinvents a humble category. It’s a destination for its structured, katsu-centric kaiseki progression.

Who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Diners seeking a deliberate, multi-course experience built around fried food, ideal for a date night or special occasion where the sequencing of the meal is the point.

Question 3

What should you order?

Accepted Answer

There is no ordering; the single tasting menu progresses from lighter dishes like uni with bluefin tartare to a series of katsu courses, including dry-aged pork.

Question 4

How do you get a table?

Accepted Answer

Reservations are required and available exclusively via Tock. Book well ahead due to the 20-seat capacity.

Question 5

Anything to know before you go?

Accepted Answer

Expect a faint scent of fryer oil in the air—it’s part of the concept. The meal unfolds over 10 to 12 courses at a fixed price of around $150 per person.
