An inconspicuous japanese restaurant in River Valley Road naturally draws curiosity. Firstly, you'll probably won't even know that it's a restaurant unless u managed to catch a glimpse inside when the door opens to let customers in and out. Secondly, the only thing welcoming u at the door is a chair which sits the menu. How secretive it is! And boy, there are a lot of customers despite that, and we now know why.
