And I left out about one item in the whatever organic vegetable mix: - one asparagus. Well, to be fair, other than that grossly priced vegi dish and the compulsary starter (1/4 piece of brocolli on a bed of cold angel hair with olive oil), there are some good dishes, e.g.:- the Osaka meatball ('tsukume') is very good - big and juicy.

Well, to be fair, other than that grossly priced vegi dish and the compulsary starter (1/4 piece of brocolli on a bed of cold angel hair with olive oil), there are some good dishes, e.g.:
- the Osaka meatball ('tsukume') is very good - big and juicy. I think they mixed some sort of 'taro jelly' in it as well;
- The chicken wing stuffed with fish roe (mei tai ko) is very delicious;
- Kama-meshi: steamed rice with chicken stock, chicken meat and assorted vegetables (similar to the Korean bibimbap but with practically no oil and a refreshingly light taste). This is very good - having said that, you can certainly buy a packet of the mixture (五目"")at Jusco or City Super and then pour it over your rice as you switch on the rice cooker - the effect is pretty much the same but the one at the restaurant probably used a bit less soy sauce and thus more healthy.
The quality of the skewers are fine but on the expensive side (about 25-35 for each skewer).
Do not order the organic vegi mix.
There are many interesting options on the 'western' menu with relatively reasonable price - haven't tried any of those though.
Comfortable modern decor with good spacing between tables.
Good service.
Good sake selection
