The 48-seater restaurant also offers a selection of soba dishes: Niku Soba and the Cold Soba with Mixed Tempura. The former is a delightful combination of buckwheat noodles and beef slices that perfectly encapsulates the essence of a dish that warms the soul. The raw egg yalk add a layer of creamy texture to the dish. On the other hand, the latter presents a contrastingly cool and crisp experience that combine the delicate texture of cold buckwheat noodles with the crunchy delight of mixed fried morsels.

The Nagoya Style Unagi Teishoku is especially notable for its perfect balance of flavors and textures, paired with traditional sides such as green beans and carrots kobachi, tsubozuke pickles, and miso soup for a filling meal.
