I had the sashimi bowl. The toppings were surprisingly fresh and generous, with a taste that made me want to eat it again.
The staff were warm, and the chef came out of the kitchen to take a photo with us. It was an unforgettable experience.
With the all-you-can-eat and drink course, there was everything from sushi and shabu-shabu to a vegetable buffet.
Combining more than 20 sauces to make my own favorite flavor was fun, and I never got tired of it.
Even though I live in Osaka, this was my first time eating it.
The cake was moist with a slightly dense texture, and the cream had a rich milk flavor. I thought it was just a roll cake, so I was surprised.

Why can you use it for ¥0?
We are often asked this. The answer is simple: the restaurant benefits too.
Your post helps people discover the restaurant.
Eat with food and drinks costing ¥0.
Instead of paying advertising costs, the restaurant provides a seat and food. That is the whole system.
You will not be charged, and no fee will appear later.
You can participate even with few followers
A person with 55 followers was invited to a teppanyaki meal that normally costs ¥27,000, with many other examples.
