Nishinari Nidaime Nishikawaya

This restaurant, famous for its monthly skewered katsu, allows you to fully enjoy seasonal ingredients. The batter of the skewered katsu is crispy, and you can also enjoy the specialty Taisho techan and the rare tulip. In particular, the fried kiss is very filling, and even when dipped generously in sauce, it doesn't become overwhelming in flavor. Sashimi is also available, making the extensive menu appealing. With reasonable pricing, you can enjoy authentic flavors. The dishes are also perfect as snacks to accompany drinks.

As soon as you enter the store, you are greeted with a bright welcome and a relaxed atmosphere where you can freely choose your seat. The retro interior reminiscent of the Showa era features a wall full of nostalgic movie posters and menus at the counter seats. The second floor, in particular, is a spacious area that can accommodate up to 20 people for parties, making it perfect for dates or gatherings with friends. There is a lingering atmosphere of a long-established public izakaya, providing a sense of nostalgic comfort. Additionally, the freedom to choose your seat allows you to enjoy your time without any reservations.

Nishinari's second-generation Nishikawa, a hidden gem in Doyama, is also known for its great location. It is situated east of the Shin-Mido-suji, under the circular line guard, just north of the Doyama intersection after passing through EST. The interior features a counter on the first floor, while the second floor offers a spacious area perfect for banquets. The restaurant exudes a traditional atmosphere, yet it also incorporates a slightly new vibe as an emerging establishment. Just entering the place draws you in with its charm. It is cherished as a beloved restaurant that continues to be loved by many.
