About Our Positions
Make every dining moment more enjoyable
When guests gather around sushi, Japanese sake, and tempura, efficient service and a warm word make all the difference. As a team, we serve drinks and dishes that make customers want to drop in casually—and come back again.
In our restaurant, equipped with tatami seating, table seating, and a sushi counter, we accommodate everyone from solo diners to families with children. We welcome both those who want to build on their food-service experience and those who would like to learn the work as they go.
What makes the work rewarding
The work behind the restaurant’s lively atmosphere
Rather than being limited to one station, you will learn how the entire restaurant operates through food, sake, and table service. Even during busy periods, we communicate with one another and stay focused on the customers in front of us.
Share the enjoyment of Japanese sake
As you work with our wide selection of Japanese sake, you will naturally become more familiar with pairing it with food. You can start at your own pace, beginning with learning the names of the sake.
Welcoming Guests from All Walks of Life
From enjoying a drink alone at the counter to dining at a table or gathering in a tatami room, we accommodate a wide range of occasions. We continually pay close attention to each guest's needs.
What It's Like to Work Here
Keeping in Touch and Keeping the Restaurant Moving
Every task, from food preparation and confirming orders to serving and clearing tables, is connected. The busier it gets, the more closely we communicate with our teammates and anticipate what needs to be done next.
At the sushi counter, you can see up close the expressions of guests looking forward to their meals. We carefully teach newcomers how to do the job and help them gradually expand what they can do.
