    We found this restaurant while wandering the streets of Takayama back in April. The owner/chef was super friendly! The restaurant is small and cozy. We had the Stewed Hida Beef Guts, the meat was so well cooked it melted in your mouth. The name might make some people nervous but it was the best dish I had in the city. Also a cute addition is that when we ordered sake he brought out an assortment of random sake cups for us to choose which ones we liked best. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Very nice, cozy local Izakaya tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood. Food is amazing - fried chicken wing could be the best ones Iโ€™ve had.

    Superb food, service and atmosphere. Amazing fried chicken and squid guts. Manager has vintage jazz English music that is comforting on a cold winter night.

    A great place for a late night dinner in a town that closes down pretty early. The ramen was perfect, the french fries were the best and the fried chicken was some of the best in the area. The chef was kind and helpful and even provided a full English menu. I would highly recommend stopping in If you find yourself in Takayama!

    (Translated by Google) This is my first visit. It's rare for me to give 5 stars, but this is a very nice shop. First of all, the lanterns at the storefront are laughable. "What kind of shop is it?" I was interested. Since it was a shop that my wife researched, I didn't look at reviews and didn't have any prior information. The inside of the store is also a calm atmosphere, and it feels a little retro. the food ยทsalad ใƒปChicken wings And so on. First of all, I had a salad, but the dressing was quite delicious. It's an auspicious start. I was looking forward to the food that was to come. The chicken wings are not a major flavor such as Furaibo in Nagoya, but have a slightly black and unique appearance. When I ate it, it was very soft and delicious. Every dish was unique and delicious. In addition, the older brother of the shop was also a nice person. Overall it's 5 stars. Thank you very much.

    Picked this place due to the proximity of my hotel. A bit overpriced for the amount of food given of average quality. Would not be my first pick, but definitely adequate. Does have an English menu available.

    If you are looking for a nice sit down lunch in Takayama this is worth a visit. Chef was welcoming and provided English menus. Good range of meal options. Everyone in our group was happy with their meal which was cooked fresh to order. We have been traveling Japan for a number of days now and this meal is up there with the best we have had.

๐Ÿ‘ I've lived in takayama going on 4 years now and I've yet to find a better place for drinking on a Friday or Saturday night than here. While it's a little further from the station than many easier to find areas you'll find the atmosphere, people and range of small and easy to enter stores unbeatable....

๐Ÿ˜  Anyway, the attitude of the clerk is too terrible. I don't think the customer is a customer. As for the food, Hida beef was thin like shabu-shabu, miso was salty, sashimi was fresh, and pickled steak was delicious. But I left the store early. There is no lipi.
