The interior of the restaurant, an old family home, exudes warmth. The affable owner-chef, Koji Kawahara, is creative too, as his menu abounds with ingenuity. Rishiri kombu kelp is used only for soup dishes, ensuring an elegantly flavoursome broth. In cooked items, however, ma-kombu is favoured, to bring out flavour. In an innovative touch, fish is marinated in miso before frying. An assortment of items come together in a single dish, creating a unique expression that adds variety to the meal.
