Founded in 1914 (Taisho 3). Kazuki-ya is a local izakaya run by the third and fourth generations. As soon as the store opened around 14:00, most of the counter seats were full. Enjoy conversations with the cheerful shopkeepers and enjoy carefully selected dry local sake and side dishes in each style.
``We don't make any recommendations because it's just for the store's convenience.We just want our customers to enjoy what they like and how they like,'' says the third-generation owner. Recommended dishes by regulars are Kazugatsuya's ``boiled tofu'', ``tamagoyaki'', and ``potato salad''.
I don't even listen to orders. A system in which when a customer wants to order something, they write what they want on a piece of paper and give it to them.
I don't even clean up the dishes after eating. Finally, count and account on the abacus. This is also unique to the January family.
Once you stop by, you'll never forget the homely atmosphere where even strangers become friends in no time, and both the owner and the customers are like friends. Whether it's people who come all the way from far away after hearing about us, repeat visitors, or locals, we're always full of smiles.
Just like Tachikyu, a standing bar bar, we continue to provide a place where you can casually drink alcohol and enjoy food.

A restaurant that serves creative dishes using fresh seafood caught in the Kumano Sea and local fresh vegetables purchased directly from farmers. The owner/chef personally visits the producers and only purchases ingredients that he or she is satisfied with after seeing them with his own eyes. It seems that the shop cannot be opened on days when the sea is rough and fishing is not possible, or when vegetables cannot be harvested due to a typhoon. In any case, we have a strong commitment to using locally sourced materials.
Although we mainly serve Japanese cuisine, we also offer dishes that incorporate Western flavors into Japanese cuisine. There are two types of lunch: 1200 yen and 1800 yen. Dinner is a course (7 to 8 dishes) chosen by the owner, and prices are reasonable, starting from 4,500 yen. After hearing about the restaurant's reputation, some fans drive more than two hours each way from far away to visit every month.
*Reservations required at least one day in advance for both lunch and dinner.
