Available Facilities
Perfect Timing
When to visit for the best experience
Lunch reservations offer a slightly more relaxed pace and beautiful natural lighting, while dinner provides a deeply intimate and romantic atmosphere. The menu changes seasonally, making spring for cherry blossom motifs and autumn for vibrant maple leaf presentations the most visually stunning times to visit.
Photography Guide
Capture the perfect shots
-
Capture the intricate details of the seasonal tableware and dish presentations before taking your first bite.
-
Utilize the soft, warm lighting of the private rooms to take elegant, moody photos of the multi-course spread.
-
Always ask for permission from the staff before photographing the interior or the chefs, as privacy and respect are paramount.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect local customs and traditions
In traditional Japanese dining, it is customary to say itadakimasu before eating and gochisousama deshita after finishing to show gratitude for the meal. Tipping is not practiced in Japan and can be considered rude, as exceptional service is considered a standard part of the dining experience.
Special Events & Experiences

Special spring menus featuring bamboo shoots and cherry blossom motifs are available from March to May.
-
Autumn kaiseki courses highlight seasonal matsutake mushrooms and vibrant maple-themed presentations from September to November.

Important Guidelines & Safety
Essential safety information and guidelines
-
Be mindful of hot dishes, especially the traditional pot-cooked rice which is served in a heated clay pot.
-
Watch your step when entering or moving around the private rooms, as traditional flooring or subtle elevation changes may be present.
-
Ensure you are aware of any food allergies and communicate them clearly, as kaiseki often includes hidden ingredients like dashi, soy, or shellfish.
