Every dish at 2406 was delicious with a unique twist! The salad dressing was fruity and surprisingly flavorful. The asparagus risotto had a satisfying texture, a citrusy aroma and tang, and a delightful marriage of chicken broth. The pork main course was rich but not heavy, with the fat melting in your mouth and pairing perfectly with the carrot ketchup. The use of Japanese ingredients with origin explanations and the elaborate dishes made the 7,700 yen course a real treat. I'll definitely be back!

This is a restaurant I've loved since it was in Kanda. I was surprised to find out it had moved to Kiyosumi Shirakawa after a few years, but it fit in perfectly with the neighborhood's vibe. The food and drinks are all delicious. I want to go with a group of people and try everything on the menu.

We made a reservation and ordered from the course menu. There were two options for each dish, including appetizers and main courses, and since we were a group, we ordered different items. They were kind enough to serve them in a way that we could share. The water service and drink orders were also very attentive. The lighting in the restaurant was dimmed, which I personally found very comfortable. The background music was stylish, with nujaves playing, which gave the place a distinct feel. All the food was made with Japanese ingredients, and it was incredibly delicious and fresh, yet familiar and comforting. It was a very enjoyable dining experience.

I went with a friend. I recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere is stylish and calm, typical of Kiyosumi Shirakawa. The tables were compact, but the dishes and glasses were all so beautiful, it really got me excited! We were two women and ordered a la carte, sharing each dish. It was just the right amount for us since we wanted to try a variety of things! (Two dishes each might have been too much.) The glass wines were all delicious. I will definitely go back again!

A place I'd go out of my way to visit. This was my first visit since they moved from Kanda. It's now on the second floor in a corner room, which gives it a more open feel and makes it even more comfortable than the previous location. I recommend it for both dates and hanging out with friends. The food has also become a bit more unique, which I personally like even more. Thank you for the meal!
