Everything we had was good, but since Kirakuni emphasizes Japanese food, the fish dishes and a la carte items were especially tasty. The obanzai (Kyoto-style home cooking) assortment was the best! You can enjoy a little bit of Kirakuni’s standout dishes, including simmered items and fish. The drinks went down so easily!

I tried Juyondai for the first time. I was really impressed by its gently spreading aroma and its clean yet rich umami. The lineup of Japanese sake was surprisingly extensive, with one rare label after another that you do not usually see at other izakaya. The staff clearly loved Japanese sake too, and they carefully explained the flavor notes and the best way to enjoy each one, which made the whole experience very comfortable.

They actually sear the katsuo (bonito) over straw in the open kitchen, so just watching it makes you know it will be good. The staff were friendly, and the drink selection was wide, which was great. The food came quickly, and the plating was beautiful, so it looked great too. The restaurant also seems able to handle large groups, so it should come in handy in the coming season.

I ordered the sour packed with plenty of ichigo (strawberries) I had been looking forward to, along with a dish topped with lots of ikura (salmon roe). Just as I had hoped, a bright and colorful sour and a serving overflowing with ikura arrived, and the presentation alone got me excited.

My favorite izakaya (Japanese pub) in Kanayama Komachi!! It’s always crowded, so a reservation is a must!! But maybe because it was a weekday, I was able to get in without one that day! I love seafood, so I really like the seafood dishes here because they’re so good. And the tempura is properly delicious too!

Seafood dishes focused on freshness are the main draw. The owner, who is from Chita Hanto (Chita Peninsula), uses seafood Special selected at the Central Wholesale Market.
The “Maguro no Futomaki” made with plenty of natural hon-maguro (bluefin tuna) is said to be a filling dish with a high level of Manzoku.

They also have a full lineup of Hot Pot dishes that you can order from per person. It looks like you can choose the soup flavor from soy sauce, Chige, or miso.
The kaisen-nabe (seafood Hot Pot) here is packed with seafood, and it is said to be so good you'll want to finish every last drop of the soup.

I visited this place on a recommendation from someone at work. It has a nice atmosphere, and I think people of all ages can enjoy it. The food was also very good and tasty. It was my first time trying hire-zake (hot sake with grilled fish fin), and it was aromatic and delicious. It was a lovely restaurant with a calm atmosphere where I could relax and take my time.

Hineri Jaguchi High Taishu Shusen Terumae Kanayamaizumi is an entertainment izakaya just about a 1-minute walk from JR Kanayama Station, located on the 5th floor of a building.
The interior mainly has table seating. If you choose a Private room with a more private feel, you can relax and enjoy conversation with friends and your group.

The A la carte All you can drink plan is very popular, and it has a unique style where alcohol comes out of taps installed all around the restaurant.
By adding different kinds of alcohol and soda, you can make original drinks to suit your own taste.

The "Wafu Karikari Chibi Xiaolongbao" is a dish of crispy fried xiaolongbao topped with plenty of sweet and tangy kurosu (black vinegar) sauce.
The texture and aroma of white sesame make a nice accent. They are bite-sized, and you may want to keep eating one after another.

All of the dishes were delicious, but my favorite was the “yogan-yaki (lava stone grilled) Hamburger Steak.” The 100% dosan-gyu (Hokkaido beef) Hamburger Steak is served rare inside, so you can cook it on the hot lava stone to your preferred doneness and enjoy it✨Another favorite was the “ayu (sweetfish) grilled with salt.” The skin was grilled crisp, and the flesh was tender! It even had roe inside, and it was so good〜!!

First, enjoy the sweet and tangy Terumae-kushi while sipping a plum soda made with Nanko umeshu (plum liqueur) poured from the tap♪ Then enjoy Micho (Fruit vinegar) Pomegranate Sour with the Hamburger Steak made with 100% Hokkaido beef grilled on lava stone♪ Every dish is tasty, so you really can’t go wrong. It’s a nice izakaya where you can even drink Micho♡
