It's the go-to place after you visit the shrine nearby. The food was a little bit pricey but it was very delicious. I recommend the Oykodon set. It's grilled from charcoal. It tasted heavenly. The udon was high quality as well and they get you this soba tea which is also delicious. Not much parking 🅿️ so you have to park somewhere near. They also take cash only. No cards
