During the day, this restaurant has a Japanese mom-and-pop diner sort of feel, offering friendly service and cheap food. It`s offerings range from Japanese dishes, such as tonkatsu and zarusoba, to a few Chinese dishes and spaghetti. The lunch special (日替わりランチ higawari ranchi) is only 580 yen and has two
options. When I went, I chose miso ramen (see picture). The ramen was simple but did not blow me away. There is a bar to sit at individually, as well as small Japanese-style group rooms (see picture).
At night the atmosphere changes into an izakaya, with screened rooms for groups to drink, eat and have a good time. At night the menu changes, offering a variety of small appetizers (think tapas) from 400 - 700 yen each (sashimi or raw fish, as well as fried foods, etc) to more expensive, hearty nabe (stewed meats and vegetables).
Overall, it`s a relaxed place, with average food and friendly service.

It seems to be good at Miso ramen.
