Delicious healthy rice bowl, located on the 8th floor of Lumine Est.
Reviewer MY
I ordered a sashimi ochazuke set with extra avocado topping. The ochazuke broth was delicious and had a great katsuobushi (bonito flakes) flavour. The food was beautifully presented.
Reviewer LL
Quite some options for food, prices are relatively reasonable. I got my meal set with an additional item including a premium drink without burning a hole in my wallet. Belly full before I even finished my food. Drink was quite yummy.
Reviewer RT
I went here for a date during lunch on a holiday. It was the perfect place for seafood lovers. I ordered the seafood chazuke. It was delicious enough on its own before pouring the tea over it, but when I poured the tea over it afterwards, it became even better.
Reviewer AL
I ordered a bowl with salmon and fatty tuna paste which came with some sides. Overall it was not bad but I wouldn't go back. I thought they could have given me more fatty tuna which would have made it taste better. I will say that it's pretty cheap compared to America so for that reason I would still give it a positive review.
