At 4320 JPY, you get to enjoy a multi-course kaiseki meal that starts off with a refreshing appetizer of squid and white asparagus, followed by a green pea soup with conger eel, meiji maguro which is baby bluefin tuna, served tataki style (seated on the outside, raw on the inside) and finally the main box of root vegetables and chargrilled fish (pictured). This meal was indeed a spectacle as you get to witness your food prepared right in front of you but the atmosphere can be slightly intimidating as the other guests seated near you (8 counter seats if you opt for the main dining area) are enjoying the experience in a peaceful manner, hence, the camera shutters might cause a bit of disturbance.
