What a wonderful discovery!! Nice place, nice staff, and an amazing food... We were 4 people. We all took the "menue of the month" for 65€. Starter, soup, first plate, second plate, and desert: for each category you can choose between 3 propositions. That's why we have tasted 13 plates in total. Starters: 9-surprises-box (wonderful!!), sashimi (6 pieces, so fresh!). Soups: clear soup with crab and mushrooms, miso soup with iberic pork, red miso soup with scallops and spinach (soups were so tasty!) First plate: fried seafood springrolls (not very interesting, maybe the only minus point), grilled chicken with miso sauce, and last but not least, sukiyaki with wagyu beef (add 15€ for this exclusive beef, but it is definitely worth it... amazing meat!). Second plate: beef fillet Teppanyaki, lobster Teppanyaki. Desert: green tea ice-cream, aloe ice-cream with fresh fruits, and a surprising Anmitsu-Style desert with vanilla ice-cream and redbeans marmelade (so interesting and good). All plates were really fresh, and cooked with an incredible balance in tastes and spices. Fantastic menue! With the menue (65€), a cocktail (8€), water and wine (9€ for 0,2L) or beer for each of us, we spent 95€ per person. We have spent a wonderful evening, it was really worth it. The whole staff is Japanese and very friendly. Cooks are working at the bar, in front of guests. The chief is very careful about guests' satisfaction and says goodbye. The place itself is elegant and sober. It was summer, so the walls were completely open and we enjoyed the sight of the quiet street.
Just perfect!!
