The Reasons Why I Recommend.
If you want to taste authentic Sichuan cuisine, Yotsuya 3-chome 【蜀】 is recommended. The chef is trained at a well-known Chinese restaurant, 【趙 楊】. The usage of seasonings and spices is very good, and how to put out the flavor of pepper is very studied. "Mao tofu" is also delicious, and I like "Sushi-no-Mushinmen". The taste of the real taste is excellent. The shop is run by a couple, so you can enjoy a drink and food slowly in a warm atmosphere.
