"The best meal I have had in Japan. Owner and his mother are people I will never forget. Food was phenomenal. I cannot believe this place doesn’t have 1, if not 2 Michelin stars.
Variety of delicious courses, many of which include seasonal ingredients. Technique is top tier.
I enjoyed the attention to detail in the dishes as well. Beautiful aesthetic all around
The personalities were one of a kind and that made this meal truly special.
Cannot recommend this place enough. I will literally fly back to Japan to eat here"

I had some Japanese cuisine♪
I asked
Located in Izumi, Higashi Ward, Nagoya City
Mr. Shinsuke.
Are the nearest stations Shinei and Takatake?
One street away from the main street
It's quiet.
There are only 7 counter seats in the store.
The young general and his mother
It's been done.
All dishes bring out the flavor of the ingredients.
It feels like a straight game.
Considering the price
I feel like this is a store that has mixed reviews, both good and bad.
What was impressive was
My first soft-shelled turtle egg!
I'm glad you enjoyed the delicacy (^^)
Our proud handmade soba noodles
It's not a soba that goes down smoothly, but a rough soba.
Seafood curry to finish the meal
It was delicious and I liked it (^^)
Thank you for the meal!

Chef Ota Shinsuke started his own kappo restaurant after several years of grueling training in one of Kyoto’s most famous kappo restaurants, Masuda. It was a period marked by failure and self-doubt, but he ultimately credits it to his current level of culinary achievement: For excellence in traditional Japanese cuisine, Kappo Shinsuke received a star in the special edition of the Michelin Guide Aichi-Gifu-Mie 2019. Such an extended period training in such a harsh environment made him especially attuned to choosing the ideal ingredients, which is something many culinary critics have noted in their reviews of his restaurant.
