One diner who ordered pork with ponzu and pike conger tempura found the dishes, more like izakaya small plates or sides served with a set meal, just right for a light bite. The menu lists the pork with ponzu at 700 yen and the pike conger tempura at 900 yen. Both could work as a drink accompaniment or as an extra dish with a meal. Fried options include skewered fried items, listed at 2 for 500 yen, and fried oysters, listed at 5 for 1,200 yen. Menu offerings may change, so check for the dishes you have in mind when you visit.

For a more substantial meal, the menu lists curry rice, katsu curry and omelette curry, with a large serving available for an extra 200 yen. Diners have reported choosing set meals at lunchtime and daily set meals in the evening, so you can make the meal the focus or stop in for a drink and a bite, depending on your mood.

One diner ordered a sake-based cream soda and said it tasted more like an ordinary cream soda than sake. The drinks menu also includes lemon and lime sours, beer and sake. There are familiar choices to pair with food, as well as an unusual-sounding drink to catch the eye.

There are counter and table seats. One visitor reported sharing a long table with diners sitting opposite. It can suit a casual solo stop, though anyone who prefers not to share a table may want to bear this in mind. A diner also reported that smoking was permitted, so check in advance if you are sensitive to smoke.
