Reviews
I used this restaurant for entertaining clients. It's directly accessible from the station, even in the rain. From the moment I arrived until I left, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I had a very pleasant experience. If you have the budget, I would recommend this place.
I participated in an event to enjoy a special matsutake mushroom kaiseki meal and the Etchu Owara Kaze no Bon festival. In the large hall, I enjoyed a Kyoto-style kaiseki meal while watching a performance by about 30 Etchu Owara Kaze no Bon performers, together with other groups of customers. There seemed to be other customers in the dining area as well, and the performers paraded around the restaurant for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Although the meal started all at once, I was impressed by the excellent service, with drinks being served without fail. The food was delicious, and matsutake mushrooms were used generously.
