Chef Katsumura, who studied at some of the best Italian restaurants in Kyoto, opened the restaurant in a secluded location on the second floor of a building on Nijo Street, a six-minute walk from Karasuma-Oike Subway Station. Before opening the restaurant, he spent 7 months working as a wholesaler in the Kyoto Central Market, and then 11 months at a famous kappo restaurant, where he learned the essence of seafood from multiple perspectives.
The grand menu features traditional dishes that never fade away, such as squid ink sauce and Roman-style carbonara. The daily menu features a lineup of seasonal offerings centered on seafood, such as carpaccio, tartar, and gratin.
