This restaurant is based on the concept of straw-yaki and mizutaki. Straw-frying is a technique often used for bonito tataki, but this restaurant also offers ingredients such as sea bream, duck, and Kyoto red chicken, which you may not encounter in other places as straw-frying. The fresh ingredients used for straw-fired bonito are all served as tataki, with salt for the sea bream, soy sauce for the duck, and ponzu (Japanese citrus fruit vinegar) for the Kyoto red chicken. Enjoy changing the flavor with the condiments provided.

The stylish exterior of this house restaurant is eye-catching. In addition to the river bed, the restaurant is divided into four different areas, offering casual southern Italian cuisine in a variety of atmospheres. The pizza baked in a wood-fired oven is highly recommended, and the prosciutto and arugula pizza topped with fresh arugula and a generous amount of prosciutto ham (2,500 yen) is a must-try item. Enjoy it with a glass of carefully selected wine.
