“ It was so good! I walked in without a reservation on what seemed like a busy night, and got a table. The wait staff was super friendly and polite, and explained how to eat the kinme-don, which is what this town and location is famous for. Even if you can't eat raw fish, the teriyaki-style kinme is amazing! Also, the menu has English, which definitely helps out! ”
