Hello. I'm Momo and I love going to izakayas.

This time, we will introduce some useful izakayas in Kyomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City.

Right in front of Kokura Station! A Japanese-style bar with a wide selection of drinks: "Taishu Sakaba Tabu" (Kyomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City)

Taishū Sakaba Tabu is located on the second floor of a building, a two-minute walk from JR Kokura Station.

You can enjoy a variety of dishes, including hot pot, seafood dishes, and meat sushi. Take the elevator at the back to the second floor.

Seafood avalanche sushi

The first thing I ordered was the "Seafood Avalanche Sushi" (1,188 yen), which is sure to look great on social media. The volume of seafood was irresistible!

You can enjoy several types of seafood freshly prepared that day, which is very satisfying.

Wagyu beef cutlet

"Wagyu Cutlet Toji" (1,540 yen) is characterized by its black surface.

The crispy fried Wagyu beef cutlet is juicy and meaty. It's even more delicious when eaten with an egg!

Salmon rare cutlet

The beautifully cut "Salmon Rare Cutlet" (1,078 yen) is sure to whet your appetite.

The striking "Reborn Ebi Mayo" (770 yen) is a whole deep-fried shrimp.

potato salad

"Potato salad" (660 yen) topped with salmon roe and soft-boiled egg.

The potatoes are chunky and still retain their shape, giving it a creamy taste. The crunchy texture of the salmon roe and the soft, runny egg yolk are both irresistible.

Piping hot mapo tofu

"Hot Mapo Tofu" (715 yen) made with a whole tofu.

Crumble the tofu as you eat. The spicy flavor is addictive, and once you start eating it, you won't be able to stop.
