Good evening! Did you know that there are trams running in Tokyo??

As we entered the entrance, there were three customers at the bar counter so we were going to sit at the table.

The Okonomiyaki is soft and nice! Very light and tasty!
Not at all too much flour and the volume of the vegetables is fantasitic!!

Hotate butter also tastes awesome!!!!! The combination of Hakusai and Hotate is just as grate!!! I dint know this match!

We are so lucky to have chosen this house today! The entrance already gave us an impression like “this place has a confident in the quality of food!” and we were never wrong about this! We are very happy to have been able to experience this kitchen!!!

Additionally the chat with the mama-san chef is such a nice hostes! This house has been here since 60 years ago and they have been seeing all the changes of the city so the mama knows everything how Tokyo has transformed since the end of the war! With her grate humor she analyses economy to politics and tell us what she knows. It is really fun!

We had a lot of drink!!!
