Chef Okamoto, the owner of the restaurant, says of his decision to open a restaurant in Uji, "I want to enliven Uji, which is said to be a town where people stay until 4:00 p.m. Uji is a nice place, but people don't stay long in the city, so its good points are not well known. So I hope that our efforts as the younger generation can help the city become more vibrant.

Owner Takashi Okamoto started his own restaurant in his hometown in May of this year after gaining experience at famous ryotei restaurants such as Kikunoi and Okamoto. Enjoying the outdoors with his children on his days off is his recent boom.

After graduating from high school, the chef, who is overflowing with love for his hometown, is a talented chef who studied at prominent Kyoto restaurants such as Kikunoi and Okamoto, a famous restaurant in Uji, the chef's family home. Each of his carefully prepared dishes is delicate and beautiful, and you will fall in love just by looking over the counter at the way he leads his dishes to perfection.

Today's appetizer. Each diner is served a plate before ordering. About four elaborate dishes are lined up.

The chef, who is a father of three children in his private life, welcomes families and children, saying, "I want children to eat Japanese food. The restaurant is not only stroller-friendly, but also equipped with cutlery and chairs for kids. The restaurant offers authentic Japanese cuisine at a casual price from 2,000 yen for lunch and from 6,000 yen for dinner a la carte.

Mackerel sushi for 800 yen. The mackerel is large and thick, with excellent fat content. Pair with the chef's recommended sake.

In addition to the beauty of the food, the chef's taste shines through in the antique tableware he has been collecting since he was a teenager. Let's go out to spend an evening in Uji for the chef's cuisine.
