A Traditional Kominka-style Izakaya Featuring Kumamoto Ingredients and Irori Cuisine
This izakaya is well-known for its dishes cooked slowly over an irori (traditional Japanese hearth) or in earthenware pots, focusing on fish, Akaushi beef, and vegetables sourced from Kumamoto Prefecture. The menu includes elaborate dishes such as chawanmushi with sea urchin, lightly fried horse mackerel, and perfectly grilled barracuda. The clean and inviting interior, primarily featuring counter seating, allows guests to enjoy pairings with Kumamoto sake selected by a sake sommelier, as well as engaging conversations with the staff. The warm atmosphere of the renovated traditional house is perfect for those looking to savor their meals and drinks at a leisurely pace.
