Authentic Oita food in a lovely little shop - feels like I'm back in an izakaya in Beppu! Tried both the Course Set and ala carte - every dish was fantastic. Potato salad and the cream cheese crouton was outstanding for appetizers; the gyutan and chicken tempura were very well cooked and served hot. Flavours and textures were controlled well, with the right accompaniments (yuzu kosho, mustard, ponzu etc.) Truly a little hidden gem - just note the minimum 1 drink per person. Otherwise a fantastic Japanese spot!

A humble and small izakaya. I am impressed how the chefs amazing cook so many dishes in such a small kitchen. The chefs are friendly and the food really felt homecook. A comfortable eating experience. The onigiri was amazing. I had to ask many times to be served and when they told me this is usually serve at the last course I was surprised. Because I would have eaten up to 75% full by then and may be difficult to finish a heavy onigiri. But the rice ball was so well flavoured I goobled down even though I was really full. The other highlight was th duck hotpot. The duck meat was cut to perfect thickness to be cooked in the hotpot. The broth is overwhelming salty but still I enjoyed it. The karage was fried thinly and i still taste how tender and fresh the meat was. It felt very homely. Enjoyable to get counter seats to watch the chefs interact with customers while wrapping dumplings on the spot. I wanted to try so much other dishes but there was only two of us. Reservation is highly recommended as they have little seating. Require credit card to guarantee your reservation. The izakaya gets filled up fast and have a lot of jap customers to validate its authenticity.

Very authentic Japanese joint! Tried their course set this time and were good , will try the ala carte items next time. They offered a free drink for Google reviews but this is my honest feedback after the meal . Their chicken tempura surprised me, I’m never a fan of chicken breast much less it fried, but theirs was tender and moist 👍

The food? Absolutely outstanding. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. It's clear the kitchen puts heart and soul into every plate. The service was just as impressive—warm, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. I felt genuinely welcomed from start to finish. What truly made the evening unforgettable, though, was the thoughtful surprise from the chef. I was treated to a special birthday dessert, and it was not only delicious but deeply heartwarming. That small, unexpected gesture made me feel truly valued as a guest. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, top-notch service, and a personal touch that makes all the difference.

Rare to find a restaurant specializing in Oita food where I lived in Japan. Specialties like chicken tempura, duck hotpot, and ryukyu (marinated sashimi) are must to try!! Would love to chat with the owner in future when she’s not so busy cooking. 😅

Intimate Japanese restaurant, with the feeling of being in Japan. A passionate chef that brings out every dish in such a umami flavour. Definitely will be back for more to savour. Totemo oishii desune. Domo arigato shefu 👩‍🍳

Parked there on 14 Nov 2025 on a Friday after 5pm and was charged $6+ for 2h. It's website and other parking websites show $3+ for first 3h which is not true at all! Irresponsible mall management!

It is the best place I visited so far it is place where price talks and make to feel to purchase expensive and it is exclusively richer product can find there

Orchard BCM is nice Thai food can skipped.
