Its dinner budget on Tabelog (¥15,000–19,999) is lower than that of 37% of the high-end restaurants in Nagasaki in this guide. It takes bookings by phone only. Good for a seat at the counter, a private room (for 4 or 6), a less expensive lunch (from ¥3,850, 62% below its least expensive dinner course), and an anniversary (it prepares a celebration if asked when booking).
