I knew the name, but it was my first time visiting for lunch.The view was nice, and the fried Tatsuta and red meat were delicious. Yet it's reasonable. I'll visit you again.

I used it on a family trip.Although it was old, it was kept clean and the view from the window was great.Dinner was a whale course, but the sashimi, aemono, hotpot, fried tatsuta, etc. were all delicious.The dried fish we had for breakfast was also excellent.I was planning to go there by bus because it's located far from the station, butWhen I told them that I missed the bus because the train was delayed, they came to pick me up in their car.It's a 10 minute walk to the whale museum, soCheck out in the morning → Whale Museum → Lunch is also available at this restaurant.(There weren't many restaurants around the museum, and they were all closed on the day I visited, which was a relief!)Thank you very much for your help from the time I arrived until the time I left.I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity. thank you very much.
