"Superb. Beef combo platter was incredibly well cooked & excellent value for money. Considering Takayama is a busy spot, with a lot of restaurants turning people away without reservation, this restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere & wasn't overcrowded."
Callum James
"Great meal in Takayama!! We had the sample steak and it was amazing. Also the beef casserole. For dessert the chocolate fondant is super recommended (also ordered Creme brûlée, but that one was not as good)"
Jaime Szigethi
