Rakuten

My partner and I stumbled across this little place in a side alleyway and gave it a try. You can't tell much from the outside but we went it anyway. We were pleasantly surprised to see a nice looking small restaurant and counter/bar. The staff were very friendly and gave us the English menu. The com...plimentary potato salad was the best we've had since being in Japan and our meals were also fantastic. We only received 3 pages of the first page of food menu so it wasn't until we had eaten that we found the second and third page of the menu. Not to worry though. We chose the grilled chicken skewers and the zucchini skewers along with fried chicken (which was to die for!!), the tempura cheese broccoli and last the lily bulb and shrimp tempura however I probably wouldn't order that again. Everything else was incredibly delicious. Our cocktails and the red wine were also fantastic. Had a great night and definitely recommend. :)
