Why choose us?
Spending time with loved ones
The appeal of a small wedding is that you can invite your relatives and close friends and enjoy a leisurely reception. Food that warms the senses and creates lively conversation.
historic building
Higashiyama, which still retains the atmosphere of the ancient capital, was once built as the residence of the great master of Japanese painting, Takeuchi Seiho, on the hillside. It is a historic building that is perfect for inviting important guests of both families.
Cuisine for your special day
The menu is updated four times a year to use an abundance of seasonal ingredients. We ask each guest about their meat doneness and flavor preferences, and deliver freshly cooked food from the open kitchen to all guests.
