A restaurant that keeps unfolding

The moment I stepped through the entrance, I was greeted by an unexpected sight: a spa to my left. I did not try it, but it immediately made me think I had to come back for more than just the food.

Right at the entrance, a samurai suit set the tone, and walking further in, the cherry blossoms, garden-like décor, and kawaii touches made the whole space feel like stepping into a different world.

My favourite part was upstairs, where the private rooms with authentic Japanese-style tables and chairs created a truly exotic atmosphere. The lighting, colours, and overall mood made it easy to forget I was still in Luanda.

On my visit, I kept it light with a refreshing pitaya juice and a salad, but the experience made me want to return for the full culinary side next time.
