MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
The ambience of mid-20th-century Japan remains along Takoyakushi Street. The cooking is as nostalgic as the shop, both a legacy from the chef’s father. Customers sit shoulder to shoulder while the owner couple work in perfect sync. The intimate space shortens the distance between people, enfolding all present in a harmonious mood. On the menu, only ingredients are listed: sea bream, squid, octopus. Ask the chef for that day’s recommendation—all part of the fun.
