I was told the parlour was established in 1902. The entire building consists of a lounge, gallery, restaurants & even a salon. Our restaurant was located on the 5th flr & the elevator brought us right up to the restaurant’s doorstep. Friendly staff greeted us & offered to take our coats. The ambience is cozy & it can be felt from the moment we entered the nifty restaurant.

My friend & I each ordered a different cocktail – The ‘Sakura Mony’ & ‘Plum Cooler’ @ ¥840 each. I prefer the Plum Cooler which is a mixture of Plum Wine & Ginger Ale.

Starter for me was Assorted Hors-d’oeuvres @ ¥2,250.
I was delighted with the selection of roast beef, smoked duck, parma ham, sashimi. It was simply delicious.

For main course, I chose the Roasted Seafood with Sauteed Tomato & Green Salad @ ¥2,620. The dish comprised of a crab claw & scallop with lots of greens & I was happy with my choice.

The Strawberry Parfait @ ¥1,680 was simply too sweet. I picked that simply because it was written on the menu as ‘人気No.1です’, meaning ‘Most popular choice’.

I was delighted to be presented a small bouquet of flowers just before leaving the parlour. Well, dinner was really nice & service was impeccable!
