Set Meals (Teishoku)
Genki Set Meal
The restaurant's most popular set. A hearty main dish (rotates seasonally — often grilled fish, braised chicken, or pork) served with multiple vegetable side dishes (kobachi), miso soup, salad, and rice. Comes with a raw egg that can be swapped for an extra kobachi. Rice available in germinated brown rice or white rice with size customization.
¥1,450
Daily Set Meal
The chef's daily teishoku built around a seasonal main ingredient sourced fresh each morning. Includes rotating kobachi side dishes made with organic vegetables, miso soup, salad, and rice. Changes daily so no two visits are quite the same.
¥1,450
Athlete Set Meal
A protein-focused set designed for those with larger appetites or fitness-oriented diets. Features a substantial main (such as chicken or pork) with generous portions, plus multiple kobachi, miso soup, salad, and rice. Rice can be upgraded to a large serving.
¥1,600
Recovery Set Meal
A nourishing set centered on mild, easy-to-digest ingredients — popular after illness or long workdays. The main is typically ginger-braised pork or slow-cooked fish, paired with soothing kobachi, miso soup, salad, and steamed rice. Light seasoning lets the natural flavors shine.
¥1,450
TKG (Egg on Rice) Set Meal
A simple comfort set centered on Tamago Kake Gohan — fresh raw egg over hot germinated brown rice or white rice, seasoned with a special soy-based sauce. Served alongside multiple vegetable kobachi, miso soup, and salad. A minimal yet deeply satisfying Japanese classic.
¥980
Side Dishes (Kobachi)
Braised Burdock Root (Kinpira Gobo)
Thinly sliced burdock root and carrot stir-fried in a sweet soy and mirin glaze with sesame. A classic Japanese vegetable side dish with a pleasant crunch and earthy flavor.
Simmered Hijiki Seaweed
Dried hijiki seaweed simmered with aburaage (fried tofu), carrots, and edamame in a dashi-based soy broth. Mild and wholesome, this side is rich in minerals and a staple of Japanese home cooking.
Dried Daikon Radish Salad
Thinly shredded and sun-dried daikon radish reconstituted and simmered in a light soy and mirin dressing. Slightly chewy with a subtly sweet flavor, served as a traditional Japanese kobachi.
Simmered Freeze-Dried Tofu (Koya-dofu)
Freeze-dried tofu slowly simmered in seasoned dashi until it absorbs the savory broth. Soft, spongy, and full of umami — a nutritious and satisfying Japanese vegetable side.
Fresh Vegetable Salad
Crisp seasonal vegetables with an original house dressing. Made from organic produce sourced by the restaurant's own greengrocer operation. Refreshing and light.
Rice & Soup
Germinated Brown Rice
Lightly germinated brown rice (haigaramai) that retains the nutritious germ layer while cooking up softer than regular brown rice. A health-conscious alternative to white rice included with all set meals at no extra charge.
Steamed White Rice
Freshly steamed Japanese short-grain white rice. Can be ordered in regular, small, or large portions. Included with all set meals.
Miso Soup
Traditional Japanese miso soup made with dashi stock and seasonal ingredients. Included with all set meals as standard.
Tonjiru (Pork Miso Soup)
A hearty miso soup loaded with pork belly, daikon, carrots, gobo, and konjac simmered in rich dashi. A warming upgrade from regular miso soup, available as an add-on to any set meal.
¥200
Add-on Dishes
Sweet Potato Fritters
Thick slices of Japanese sweet potato lightly battered and fried until golden. Naturally sweet on the inside with a crisp exterior. A popular add-on alongside the set meal.
¥200
Japanese Fried Chicken (Karaage)
Juicy bone-in chicken pieces marinated in soy-ginger seasoning and deep-fried to a crispy, golden finish. Available as an optional add-on or as a main dish in the daily set. Rich umami flavor with a satisfying crunch.
¥350
Raw Egg
A single fresh raw egg served alongside rice — perfect for making tamago kake gohan (egg mixed into hot rice with soy sauce). Included in most set meals by default; can be swapped for an extra kobachi side dish if preferred.
¥100
Large Rice
An upgrade to a large (oomori) portion of rice — either white rice or germinated brown rice. Available as an add-on to any set meal for guests with a bigger appetite.

Drinks
Draft Beer
Chilled draft beer served by the glass. A refreshing pairing for an evening teishoku at the restaurant, which is open until 11 PM.

Japanese Sake
A selection of Japanese sake available by the glass. Pairs well with the mild, vegetable-forward teishoku dishes. Ask staff for the current offering.
¥550
Shochu
Japanese distilled spirit (shochu) served straight or on the rocks. Light and clean in flavor, suitable alongside the home-style set meal dishes.
¥500
Wine
House wine available by the glass — red or white. A casual pairing option for diners who prefer wine with their Japanese set meal.
¥600
Coffee Cascara Drink
A unique beverage made from dried coffee cherry husks (cascara), resulting in a fruity, lightly caffeinated tea-like drink. A specialty you rarely find in standard restaurants — noted by reviewers as a distinctive menu highlight.
