I love tiny places 😀 I found this little home style store via reading a Japanese local paper. So glad that I persevered and found this place.
It’s not that they’re fancy or things like that. It’s just the place oozes the feeling of home. The whole time only locals came through the door. Seems like the chef knew his customers by their names. Such an amazing experience!
Although I am a “meatarian”, I thoroughly enjoyed their tofu rich food (there was fish as well). The chef was very attentive to details, which I did not expect from a buffer lunch.Instant love moment! The chef frequently checks the food in each bowl. We arrived early, so we got to see him and his assistant preparing for lunch hour. Unlike Western style buffet, the chef purposely not over fill each bowl. No waste is the key. What’s not to love?I diligently tried all 11 buffet dishes :9 The fish fillet was freshly cooked and each customer would get 1 serving only. As I was taking food porn, the chef (長谷川光雄) got impatient with me and reminded me that the dishes would get cold. I really do LOVE this place fiercely! Balanced healthy tasting food 😀 This sounds totally crazy coming from wahaha
Amazingly, this buffet lunch was only JPY1,050
*sigh* Love
Where was I?
