The restaurant is housed in a quaint, reformed single-family home, providing a nostalgic atmosphere with tatami mat seating and paper screen partitions. The menu features a variety of kamameshi options, including sea bream, octopus, salmon, and mountain vegetables, utilizing fresh seafood delivered directly from Awaji Island and carefully selected mountain produce. The "Kutsurogi" kamameshi, combining sea bream, octopus, salmon, and mountain vegetables, is especially popular among patrons. Guests can enjoy their meals in private rooms, making it suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger groups. The restaurant is conveniently located a short walk from the Arima Onsen Station and the Kin-no-yu public bath.
