Tarafuku Asa

This is a relatively high-end Kaiseki restaurant. The presentation of their dishes is extremely exquisite and the taste can be called perfect. The only drawback is that the portions are too small.

We arrived late but were warmly welcomed by the owner. At first we wanted to sit at the bar but were told we could only sit in the room. No problem. The staff was very friendly and polite and they had an English menu. The food was delicious and affordable, our bill for 2 was $70 including beer and 2 bottles of sake. I would definitely recommend this place!

If you come to this restaurant, I recommend you make a reservation in advance. The service is excellent, but it can be crowded. We order here often and the schnitzel, squid shumai, cheese spring rolls, and sashimi are all very good. We decided to have dinner here through the guidebook and this is the most popular tavern in Nagasaki.

I would happily go back to this restaurant, it basically met my needs. They provided good food, adequate wine, and a lot of care while we waited. The waiters were really welcoming, even though they were busy. It was full when we entered, so it is recommended to make a reservation.

It looks quite ordinary. If my Japanese friend hadn't introduced it to me, I wouldn't have known that it is actually a famous restaurant. The business is really good, and some of their dishes are quite creative and unique.
