Apart from this, robatayaki guests also have the opportunity to make mochi, kneading it inside a large wooden barrel. In the main dining area, the dark wooden floors and large surrounding sake barrels create a peaceful and zen atmosphere, providing customers with an authentic Japanese dining experience.
