The restaurant is run by the family, with the elder brother currently managing the restaurant and the younger brother taking on the role of chef. The brothers continue to preserve the traditional flavors created by their grandfather and father.
The demi-glace sauce, another specialty of the restaurant, takes two weeks to complete. The richness of the sauce is created by slowly simmering beef and vegetables with red wine. The sauce is made without adding any additional ingredients, and is prepared with the perfect amount of care, taking into consideration the climate and temperature at the time. To directly enjoy the flavor of the sauce, we recommend the hashed rice, which is limited to 10 servings per day.

Local Guide Comment
From dishes with demi-glace sauce to fried dishes, everything you eat will exceed your expectations. The most popular menu item since the establishment of the restaurant, "sauteed beef," is served refreshingly with grated radish.
