The restaurant was opened with the idea of "offering a casual taste of Kyoto's alcove quality," and during the summer season from May 1 to September 30, customers can experience Kyoto's summer tradition of kawadoko without having to pay for a seat. The cash-only style is a no-frills experience where you order first when you enter the restaurant and then find your seat. Since you can order just a drink and an entrée, the kawadoko experience can be had for as little as 1,000 yen, making it the perfect place to make your kawadoko debut.

The owner, Mr. Kida, also runs a construction company, so the Western-style building has Japanese architectural techniques sprinkled throughout. The interior walls are plastered by hand by a plasterer, and the exterior walls are covered with tiles made from the scraps of the Sun Building, which attracted attention at the 1970 Osaka World's Fair.

Reservations are accepted throughout the year for inside seating, allowing diners to enjoy their food in a relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant has an extensive drink menu, so it is recommended to ask about drinks that go well with the dishes and enjoy pairing them with each other.
