Located in a residential area of Kumatori-cho, 'Kichitei Tsukino Emi' is an izakaya with a history of over 50 years. The interior, renovated from a wooden old folk house, exudes a retro yet sophisticated charm. You can enjoy hot sake around the irori, experiencing the aroma of the Showa era.
The menu is extensive, featuring a wide range of carefully prepared Japanese cuisine and B-class gourmet dishes. The signature dish, 'Kashimin-yaki,' is a voluminous okonomiyaki-style dish wrapped in cabbage. The yakisoba with its sweet and savory sauce is also a popular choice. With a focus on quality ingredients and a variety of homemade dishes, it's easy to see why local customers line up.
The izakaya exudes a casual atmosphere, and at times, you can catch a glimpse of the staff dining together with customers, creating a friendly scene. The gentle and friendly ambiance contributes to a comfortable and relaxed time.
It's a bit far from the nearest station, but there are three parking spaces in front of the shop, making it convenient to visit by car. The business hours start from noon and the long operating hours, drawing lively crowds until late at night, are quite appealing.
