Try our house specialty, the "Lucky Lotus Root Banquet", in the peace and quiet of a suburban area

The lotus is the flower of Buddhism, and we hold our lotus root dishes in high-esteem as we model ourselves on the hospitality style of Buddhist nuns. read more Enjoy all the lotus roots you desire. Lotus roots are a "lucky" ingredient because of their holes, which are said to bring "good prospects for the future". So you can expect your luck to pick up with our lotus roots. Depending on how they are cooked, they can be "crunchy", "sticky", "crisp", and more, and you can delight yourself in a variety of textures and tastes. We do all we can to make a good impression on our guests - with the arrangement of our dishes, and again with the textures and tastes of foods. We are located in a corner of a quiet suburban area not far from the eastern banks of the Hyoken River, and we are a 15-minute walk from Higashi Okayama Station. Step through the gate and you will be welcomed by a small "jizo" statue. One side of our dining hall has a glass wall where a gentle and elegant light pours in. learn more from chef
