They accept plenty of cashless payment methods, including debit and credit cards. Everything in their Teppan Yaki menu is a must-try. Their chef is entertaining and courteous. Comfort room needs a bit of cleaning (some disrespectful customers leave scraps of tissues on the floor). A bidet is installed and wash sinks have faucets that are bamboo-themed. There's a need to follow up on your orders especially if there's a large influx of customers.

Thank you for the complimentary cake, Izanami Cuisine. The ramen was also delicious. As for the green tea, I’d like to share an honest review. it didn’t quite taste like green tea, but rather more like very diluted coffee.

This Japanese restaurant is located inside the Diwata Nature Resort in San Pablo, Laguna. We only tried their ramen and okonomiyaki. They have three available ramen flavors. The miso ramen and tonkatsu ramen were really good. The chashu was thicker than that of the other ramen I have eaten. It was also so tender that you only need to use chopsticks on it. Regarding their okonomiyaki, it was bigger than the ones I tried before. We enjoyed their hot green tea as well. For the hot matcha, we were able to order it from the Diwata Garden Cafe in the same area. This restaurant also has live cooking for teppan yaki. On their menu, you can also find appetizers, soups, itamemono, okonomiyaki, agemono, fried noodles teishoku, rice and fried rice, donburi teishoku, teishoku set meal, ala carte, sushi, drinks and dessert. They have a variety of sushi listed on their sushi bar menu.
