Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the incredibly tender and flavorful Hida beef, with many considering the steak sets superior to other grilled options in Takayama. The unique ambiance of the former art museum and the accompanying sauces and egg yolk are also frequently praised. While some find the prices a bit high, the overall consensus is that the quality and taste of the Hida beef make it well worth the visit and any potential wait.
"Really delicious beef dishes, especially the hide beef steak box in which the beef was absolutely tender and flavourful. The soup that accompanies this set was also magnificent and warming. A great meal indeed."

"since we saw that the 1st floor is a hida beef butcher store, we thought we would try their restaurant on the 2nd floor.
the steak set was superb! imo better than the hida beef yakiniku we had elsewhere in takayama. it’s cooked to perfection, isn’t crazy fatty, and the sauce + egg yolk was a perfect combination. the hamburg, on the other hand, isn’t anything too special, but we still enjoyed it also:)
their cold Japanese sake was very good as well - pairs well with the beef. we came for lunch at around 1 pm and the restaurant wasn’t busy, but by the time we finished there was a queue. I think I will come again if I we visit takayama again in the future!

"A proper & nice place at Takayama to taste their supreme beef.
The environment is super beautiful.
The beef are quite good but not really very very impressive.
The Hida beef sirloin steak is the best among them.
Love their milk ice cream though, with very rich texture."
