Inside The Restaurant and Seating Information
Home - Inside The Restaurant
First Floor: Counter and Fish Tank
The first floor is not a tatami room but a spacious counter and raised tatami-floored seating area. There is also a large fish tank in the center of the counter. Fresh sea bream and flatfish are swimming in the fish tank. The chef scoops the fresh fish out of the fish tank with a net and immediately cleans them. Please enjoy your meal as a true live performance with your eyes, ears, and tongue.
The chefs clean and cook fresh fish on the spot.
The fish tank is an enclosure where fresh seafood is kept alive. The fish tank is 12 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 1.2 meters deep, and it always has more than 30 varieties of live fish from all over Kyushu.
Koagari is a unique floor design found in Japanese restaurants. It is a place where the floor surface is slightly higher than the normal height for table seating. Also, seating is in the form of a horigotatsu. A horigotatsu is a seat where the floor is dug down, and you can put your feet in.
Ozashiki Room
This special room is a condensed version of traditional Japanese beauty. You can enjoy with your eyes the neatly laid tatami mats, hanging scrolls of traditional Japanese art, and ikebana flower arrangements that represent the changing of the seasons. Your privacy will be protected, allowing you to spend precious time with those closest to you.
※Reservations are required in advance.
※Please refrain from being barefoot in the tatami room. Please wear socks or stockings.
