The old barber shop setting is so unique, with the original mirrors and chairs still in place. A nice touch of history with your coffee.

Been coming here for years. That oceanfront view never gets old, watching the fishing boats come in. The seafood bowl&#39;s always got a good mix, maybe ten different things in there. It&#39;s the consistency that keeps me coming back.

Nice little izakaya, the owner is super friendly. Felt right at home even though I was by myself.

Loved the tatami room view of the garden and pond. The old Meiji-era house itself is the real star though, feels like stepping back in time. A quiet spot to unwind.

Came for the Maruten Rokubei. The fried fish cake was a nice addition, but what really stood out was the broth. It had a clean, balanced flavor, not too heavy. You could really taste the freshness of the ingredients.
