💯 Hands down 5-stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Most memorably delicious were:
👍 toast of mussels
👍 wagyu & smoked eel
👍 lake trout
👍 catfish
👍 pork chin

Thank you Chef and team‼️

😢 Misses…
Other dishes were slightly salty or the texture was too unusual.
I’m a huge dessert fan, but unfortunately the desserts here did not particularly wow me.
And dinner took 4 hours… the wait between courses was a tad too long for me.

Wow - these 3 letters might describe the experience.

Starting with a warm, pleasant welcome. A tour through the kitchen and then the very warm and nice ambient location.
We were served some excellent aperitif, and then the fun leveled up. Wow again so many nice dishes all different this was amazing, we had the normal and the vegetarian menu and both were amazing in all regards. From super exciting things like the Belgian caviar with Japanese rice, all the way through excellent creations.

The wine did his additional job very well some fine drinks matching well to the food but still being each a highlight in itself. The sommelier was so knowledgeable and presented each wine with passion knowledge and a patient way of explaining everything. We also enjoyed a nice Austrian spirit very much !

All in almost nothing you can do better for us, all in all it was an awesome experience.

If I had to find a critic in itself I would call out the price of some of the drinks, with 20-30/0.1l not all of them in my eyes were such super high priced ones and you could have given a discount.

Chef Tohru created a menu that pays homage to both of his German and Japanese heritage. The skate, trout, wagyu, and pork were outstanding. The wagyu with smoked eel was probably the best wagyu dish that I have had. He managed to make the beef not too rich tasting. The pork that is from his grandparents' farm has a very unique and lovely flavor. Every dish was also very beautifully presented. The wine list is impressive with many rare options. Service is top notch. The attention to details is unparalleled. The restaurant is in a historical building where the town scribes used to live and write. This restaurant is definitely a gem.

I’ve eaten at probably over 100 Michelin star restaurants.  This one was easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had.  The experience was amazing, starting off with a tour of the kitchen and introduction to all the staff including the chef.  The restaurant was well decorated and comforting.  The chairs were amazingly comfortable.  All the staff was wonderful.  The food was fantastic.  Every dish was great. In almost all tasting menus there are a few dishes you question what they were trying to accomplish but not here… highly recommend….
