Good to know
- The morning porridge (summer) and quail porridge (winter) are served in the annex at a far lower price than the main-store kaiseki, but must be booked via a hotel concierge.
- The main store closes on Wednesdays and last dinner orders are at 19:00; it is a 6–10 minute walk from Keage Station on the Tozai subway line, with parking available.
