A French restaurant tucked away in the heart of the old town, with a counter as the main seating area (plus one table for four). Every dish is meticulously prepared, reflecting the chef's personality in each plate, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The wines selected by the madame are also well-chosen and delightful.

A bistro with a counter-style seating, run by a friendly couple. The food is delicious, and they seem to use local specialties like seaweed in their dishes.

I made a reservation for a table only and ordered the ¥12,000 10-course menu upon arrival. Every dish was delicious and I enjoyed them all. I usually find the smell of uni and shrimp off-putting, but these were perfectly palatable. The risotto was my favorite. The texture and aroma were so good that I wished it had been a larger portion! The chestnut from Tanba was also delicious (it wasn't the main course, but I personally love chestnuts) and it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I was so engrossed in the food that I forgot to take pictures of a few dishes and ended up eating them before I could! Both staff members were very kind and welcoming, making me feel comfortable even though it was my first time visiting. The restaurant is small and the restroom is right next to the counter, which I was initially concerned about. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful design. There are two doors! The first door leads to a space with a sink and mirror, and the second door leads to the actual restroom. This is a sensitive area that can be problematic due to noise and odor, but the stylish and considerate design really impressed me. Overall, the restaurant was incredibly clean and truly exceptional.

A small restaurant with a counter and a single table. The moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that screams 'this is the place to be.' The food and wine are meticulously prepared, and the chef's passion for his craft shines through, making every dish a delight. This is a hidden gem bistro in Asakusa! Highly recommended.

A 10,000 yen course with drinks, featuring 2310 dishes. The service was impeccable, and I enjoyed the unique ingredients and combinations. Everything was delicious. The menu included: * Low-temperature smoked salmon * French toast with water spinach and sea urchin * Pheasant ravioli * John Dory with bouillabaisse * Duck steak * Herb ice cream with anglaise sauce and crumble
