The omakase course is priced at 26,000 yen per person, a figure the restaurant revised upward from 23,000 yen starting in August 2026 due to rising ingredient costs, according to a notice posted on its site.

The restaurant falls into the upscale price tier and is categorized as English friendly. Reservations and inquiries can be made by phone at 0254-22-3358 or through the official website. Opening hours are not listed on the site, so diners should confirm timing directly with the restaurant before planning a visit.
