My second time having dinner there. I would totally recommend if you like Japanese food that is far away from your usual Japanese restaurant. We took the 4 service menu and enjoyed each of our dishes. Note that you shouldn’t arrive there starving, it’s tasty with small portions.

Discovered this Izakaya place in Schaerbeek on the Michelin Guide and it was a good find! Their €45 menu with 5 dishes is well worth it and you will leave this place satisfied. The staff are also welcoming and they explain what is in each dish. Downside is that the place is tiny so with full tables, it can feel crowded and your chair will get bumped quite a lot if you are sitting at the comptoir. But other than that, highly recommend and would come back again!

Good but room for improvement.
The service was great and the courses were served at a good pace. The food on the other hand - while not bad, leaves room for improvement.
Some soundproofing to reduce the noise level would also be welcome.
