Marukyu-shoten is a lively izakaya located on Kutchan Ekimae Dori, a two minute walk from Kutchan Station. The restaurant, like many in Kutchan, sources only the freshest seafood and local produce daily, ensuring you can enjoy fresh, delicious and local dishes served by enthusiastic staff. Marukyu-shoten features a friendly and inviting layout with tatami mat floor tables, counter seating and regular tables that can be joined for larger groups. My recommendation is to enjoy the delicious squid sashimi and salad varieties which all come in very generous serving sizes. The restaurant is open everyday except Monday from 17:30 ~ 24:00.
