This is my first time visiting Yamaguchi, which is famous for fugu cuisines. The dining experience in this restaurant was very enjoyable. We enjoyed delicious fugu dishes, excellent service and wonderful view of the Kanmon Bridge and Strait at the same time. The price was so reasonable that I would recommend to anyone who wants to try fugu in Shimonoseki.

My first time, search by google, rated 4.3 having dinner tonight without booking, unfortunately it is full, we are very disappointed. Finally we can as special arrangement made by a manager I guess, it is great!! We have tried 2 sets and medium size of raw squib. Food is above standard, service is intensive & environment (besides the bridge) is attractive, price is really affordable. Really, it is my first time to be here, and surely not the last time, will come back again

This is a stylish and moderately upscale restaurant. I walked in alone and was shown into a very large private room. At first I felt awkward visiting such a nice restaurant alone but it was no problem. You could easily order single dishes for as little as ¥1500 (yakisoba, sashimi, etc.) and set meals start around ¥2500-3000. I ordered a set, fugu sashimi, and a drink for around ¥5000-6000. Overall, not too pricey for the location and quality. The views of the Kanmon Strait are very excellent. I particularly liked the kawara soba. Fugu sashimi was an interesting experience but I would not seek it out again. If you order it, it comes with a spicy garnish and dipping sauce. Shimonoseki is the most famous place in Japan for fugu, so you should try it while you are here.
