It claims to be fine dining, but I wouldn't call it that, at least at lunch time. One of the lunch specials, and restaurant's popular dish, is the steamed vegetable basket (900円, available until 2pm). You can choose from fish, meat, noodles, or vegetarian and all come with rice plus all you can drink juice, coffee or tea from the drink bar. It's a healthy and good idea if you`re eating at home, but for a restaurant, I think they can do better. For starters, the steamed veggies and fish are just that, steamed. The seasoning comes on the side, presented as a variety of dips that you can mix and match. Olive oil and pink salt, shio-koji (fermented rice in salt), ponzu (citrus soy sauce), and miso paste `dip' are the trimmings. It's fun to try different combinations and such, but really, it's something I can easily do at home. Especially since this basket was filled mostly with hakusai (or as we call it overseas, nappa).
The other lunch dishes included croquettes and simmered pork, so if you make a visit here, I would suggest trying those out instead of the steamed vegetables.
