The experience is speechless and incredible, the step by step tasting help me to understand how the layering of ramen stock become so tasty, where I gained more understanding about umami. You also get a chance to make your own mini ramens as well as a bowl (or two smaller bowls of ramen with 500 yen top up) plus the special dish which incorporates ramen toppings and French cuisine techniques. What a wonderful time spending at the shop. If I really had to suggest only one flavor, the shouyu one is my pick.

I took my husband here for his birthday dinner, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The space was small and intimate, the staff was kind and attentive, and every course was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully presented. The Wagyu was the best steak I have ever had. It melted in our mouths like butter. Expensive, but absolutely worth it. I would definitely recommend and would love to come back again.

I had the most wonderful experience visiting this farm! It was so nice to meet David. It is the perfect way to get away from busy Tokyo life—just a 1-hour and 45-minute local train ride for a short day trip to enjoy the beautiful nature of Okutama. Email communication before the trip was great, and David gave very clear instructions on where to meet. He has a wonderful vibe, and it was so peaceful to spend time out in the beautiful scenery.The highlight was definitely getting to see fresh wasabi being picked right in front of us and tasting it immediately. You can really taste the difference when it is that fresh! The host, David, is living a dream lifestyle and is incredibly welcoming. If you love nature, want to learn more about a real wasabi farm, and enjoy a great short hike, I highly recommend visiting. It is an unforgettable experience!

1. make sure you use google maps to get here. look at the street view and there’s no way you can get lost. 2. GET THE PREMIUM OMAKASE. don’t ask questions, just do it. 3. sit at the counter. the chef definitely puts on a show. he’s a comedian and very nice. 4. i ate things i would never order. i loved things i usually don’t care for. 5. everything was made with precision and care. 6. service was a+ would not miss an opportunity to visit if i’m ever in japan again. thank you!

A great session with Takako, learning about Japanese home cooking and the benefits for fermented foods. Tasted koji, kombu, mirin and a variety of soy sauces. Takako then made some healthy and delicious dishes, which was a good change from some heavier restaurant meals. The recipes were also provided! Would definitely recommend.

What a wonderful way to explore a city! Trey took us down some dark alleys and I loved it! It was exactly what I was looking for. Very small and intimate venues I never would have found or ventured into on my own. A true Osaka experience! Thank you!
