I don’t have so much word to express how delicious it is. I felt like I am in a very expensive restaurant. Maybe people don’t like to recommend this restaurant because of the rules that are set to it. Actually, the rules are just simple but people fail to follow. Everything there is good! I highly recommend it ❤️they are good people and let’s respect the rules they set for it.

I was a little nervous as I was told that the rules were strict, so I timidly entered the store. When I entered the restaurant, there were several people eating, but the restaurant had a quiet atmosphere and didn't give me a scary impression. The woman spoke in a laid-back manner that gave me a sense of warmth, and she responded with a smile. The chef carefully prepared the food. It took longer than expected for the food to be served, so I don't think it's a good idea to wait for two people to get the food if you're a group of two. I came to the restaurant with a full stomach, so the moment the food arrived, I was overwhelmed by the heart-pounding visuals. A must-try for egg lovers! It was the most delicious omelette rice I've ever had and I'm very satisfied! ! The salad was refreshing and very easy to eat. It also went perfectly with the omelet rice. It feels like a restaurant for solo diners, so we recommend that you enjoy the food by yourself. I think it's easy enough that even people who aren't good at solo activities can easily try their hand at it. If you check the rules carefully before coming to the restaurant, I think you will be able to enjoy delicious food in a comfortable manner. I thought it was so delicious that I wanted as many people as possible to try it.

There are impressions under the basic information [2023.11🆕] *Updated from time to time after trying various menu items *It's a bit long because I'm writing about the facts that I've actually experienced while going there, and I also include my own confirmation of authenticity. Basic information 🔰 [Parking available] ·can be *There is also a second parking lot. [How to wait and line up when the seats are full] ・No waiting outside the store [Seats (counter/table seats, etc.)] ·counter [How to order (meal tickets, order system, etc.)] ・Oral order system [Others ①] ・In order for the staff and other customers to have a wonderful time, we recommend that you read and understand the instructions at the entrance before entering the store.

[Others ②] ・Honestly, I was nervous when I visited because I had heard a lot of things from previous information, but at first I thought it would be a tense atmosphere, but when I calmed down, I realized that I like the quiet atmosphere inside the store. I felt that it was a wonderful shop with consideration for customers everywhere, such as the books you could read while waiting, the cushions on the chairs, and the lighting in a position where you could take beautiful photos. [Check reviews (real experience)] ①Coercive attitude →I didn't feel particularly intimidated. The man in charge of the cooking was very nice and said thank you very much, and the woman in charge of the hall was very kind and even responded to my question by saying, "Thank you for your consideration." was ②Many rules + strict →There aren't too many rules, and they aren't too strict. Honestly, it would be unbelievable if you couldn't follow these rules. Please rest assured that as long as you have the morals to lead a normal life (as taught during the compulsory education period), you will be able to eat without any problems. Every store has rules, and here you can check them on social media before entering the store, and you can also check them after you are seated. I think this is an excellent store that takes the initiative to follow the rules to protect other good customers. Other shops have more or less rules, and it's a nuisance if you don't follow them, but they just put up with it and forgive you because they don't want to cause trouble to other customers even if they misunderstand and take their anger out on you. If you read other reviews carefully, most of the angry reviewers are just angry that they won't forgive you for not following the rules like other restaurants do, and only complain about the fact that they made you feel uncomfortable. Don't be a customer who just vents your frustration by putting aside the fact that you caused a nuisance to the store or other customers, or that you didn't follow the rules that can be confirmed in advance at the entrance or on SNS. I felt that ③Speaking voice →This does not mean that I eat completely silently. As the notes say, it's basically okay as long as your voice is at a level that can't be heard by other customers or the kitchen. *I think this is a measure between providing a quiet space and wanting people to enjoy their meals. ④Response when rules are violated (updated in November 2023) ・I was concerned about the response as there seemed to be a person who was "taking a video" of something that was not allowed, but I was not forced to leave the store or was intimidated at all as mentioned in the reviews, and I was very kindly told "Please refrain from taking videos". Please,” he responded kindly. *When seated, this customer and other customers should be given a piece of paper with precautions written on it and politely asked, ``I know it will be long and difficult since there is a back page, but please read the contents and cooperate with me.'' I was doing Various thoughts from here ✏️ 2023.09 "Fluffy omelet rice (tomato sauce)" It is said that when you cut a cute egg that looks fluffy and plump, an egg flower will bloom. This is how beautiful and fluffy omelet rice is made. When eaten with egg and ketchup rice, it has a gentle taste, but when mixed with tomato sauce, it has a strong tomato flavor with the acidity of the tomato. If you like tomato sauce, this is a must try experience. 2023.11 "kokuu hamburger (mixed grain rice/demiglace sauce)" The vegetables (zucchini, pumpkin, carrots, eggplant) are all finished to the best texture, and the work is done individually with great care, which even an amateur like me can appreciate. The hamburger is plump, tender and juicy, and goes well with rice (multigrain rice). You can also make it with bread, so if you have a chance, I would like to try it with bread as well. 2023.11 "Cream cheese cake" It is a moist and heavy baked cheesecake, but it has a refreshing sweetness that is not too sweet, making it a wonderful cake that can be paired with the main meal.
