The tiny restaurant with 26 seats is the most expensive in the country, with prices ranging from $350 to $500 per person, excluding the cost of alcohol. Want to bring a bottle of wine with you to save money? Try it, but the restaurant takes this possibility into account by imposing a “corkage tax,” that is, on one bottle in the amount of $75 (and it doesn’t matter how much this bottle costs, even 50 cents). The menu changes frequently, but the variety of seafood dishes remains constant - about 20, supplied directly from Japan.

Live guitar music, herbs and vegetables grown without the use of mineral fertilizers and pesticides have made this restaurant extremely popular.
