Nice Kaiseki Dinner. Great quality but very rushed. They serve the next course before you finish your current course. Finished the whole course within 1 hour. Set dinner only for same day reservations. Reserve early. Walking distance from Aso Fairfield Marriot Hotel. Nicer 6,000-10,000 yen courses available if you book much in advance. Sake on menu was 1,000 yen, but we were charged 1,200 yen. Beef set dinner with Unajyu 6,600 yen per person. Chicken course 4,600 yen per person.
