Signature Dishes

  • Chicken Soup with Pickled Chili

    The broth is slightly sweet, mellow, and smooth, aromatic without being greasy, with tender chicken; the pickled chili tastes noticeably spicy at first, while a friend found it warming as they drank.

  • Clear-Braised Beef Noodles

    A refreshing broth and tender-braised beef; the portion is on the smaller side and better suited to lighter eaters.

  • Egg-Yolk Rice

    Koshihikari rice mixed with a raw-grade egg yolk and bonito floss is distinct-grained and aromatic; the floss may mask the rice’s sweetness.

  • Cilantro Tofu Skin

    The cilantro is aromatic but not sharp, with well-balanced seasoning and a distinctive fragrance.
