Frommer's Review
This restaurant, easily spotted with its castlelike roof, occupies what was once a traditional Japanese inn and retains many of its original traditional features, including a delightful inner courtyard complete with a pond, dwarf pine trees, carp, and some lanterns (take off your shoes at the entrance and deposit them into a locker). For lunch, you'll probably want to order one of the set meals, such as obento lunch boxes or tempura and sashimi teishoku, made easy to choose from by photos in the Japanese-language menu. For dinner, mini-kaiseki meals are also available for ¥3,000 to ¥4,000 ($25-$33/£13-£17), but no photos are available for these, as they change with the season. At any rate, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced; you can't go wrong.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
