In May of this year, an izakaya with delicious fish and alcohol opened in Jodoji Temple.The restaurant was originally located in Shogoin, but was forced to close due to the coronavirus pandemic, but with the support of many people through crowdfunding, they relocated and made a successful comeback.

The secret to having many fans

After visiting, I realized that regular customers want to support the restaurant through crowdfunding.The atmosphere of the restaurant is pleasant, with the kind owner and friendly proprietress welcoming you.
The chef, who has been a chef for 32 years, takes great care and thought into every detail of his cooking, and the sake selection is also good.The proprietress first selects ``unknown brands that are as likely to be discovered'' as recommended by the owners of ``Nishimura Liquor Store in Kitashirakawa'' and ``Sake no Yamamoto.''In the end, the chef makes the decision based on whether it matches the restaurant's cuisine.I see, the perfect pairing of food and alcohol is the result of a strong husband and wife duo.
In addition to regular customers and local customers, it is likely that tourists will stop by as it is close to Tetsugaku no Michi and Ginkakuji Temple.There is no doubt that the number of fans will increase more than ever.
