Owner-chef Shigeo Kanno refurbished a house in a residential part of Yoyogi-Uehara where he was born and raised to create this restaurant. Its appeal is a menu that is creative yet respectful of the basics. Fried seafood is dressed in tartar of hanasansho (pepper flowers). Borrowing a page from Buddhist vegetarian dishes, the hassun is packed into a jubako food box. In summer the celebrated dish is awabi with somen noodles kneaded with ume. The atmosphere is homely, the service friendly.
