Konana totally hit the spot for our craving for Japanese-Italian fusion! Every dish struck a perfect balance between dashi and traditional pasta elements—truly the best of both worlds. We ordered the set: one duck pasta and one Kobe bacon carbonara. Both were flavorful, and the soy ingredients blended seamlessly into the dishes. The teas were also a standout—carefully selected and brewed, enhancing the meal’s umami layers. For dessert, the soy puddings were delicious, especially the salted caramel flavor. My tiramisu, on the other hand, was a bit bland—next time, I’d try something else from their dessert selection. Still, the set is a fantastic deal overall. One thing I’d change: I would have preferred the tea and dessert to be served with the main course, rather than after. That way, it feels like a more cohesive dining experience. My biggest piece of feedback is about the ordering system. The QR code and website don’t fully translate into English, so while you can see menu items in English, clicking through takes you to Japanese pages. We had to use a second phone and a translation app just to understand what we were ordering, which felt a bit awkward. I didn’t want to flag down the staff and interrupt the flow, so this translation issue is something I hope they improve. That said, the water selection was an unexpected highlight! They offer a variety of detox waters—super refreshing and a nice touch. Would I come back? Absolutely! There’s still more I’d like to try, and the flavors make it worth a return visit.

Thought it was just an Italian pasta restaurant, but no, they have their own Japanese fusion and twist to the dishes. Good variety of set menu and great dessert

Very interesting fusion pasta dishes. The tofu side dish was really nice. Kids offering was generous and healthy for 800 yen. I couldn't believe how nice and light, yet flavourful the carbonara was with soya milk. Recommend giving this place a go if you're after something a bit different
