Gonpoji

Gonpoji (formerly known as Rojiura Sakaba Tachinomi Gonpoji) is a hidden-gem alley bar near Nishijin Station in Fukuoka, tucked into a quiet corner that keeps it feeling like a true local secret despite its Hyakumeiten recognition. The compact ten-seat counter serves single-portion sashimi, cartilage tsukune, and a bacon-and-onion quiche alongside a relaxed, settled atmosphere well suited to solo visitors.

Opened in September 2023, it has quickly built a reputation as an intimate spot to casually drop in for a drink and a few small plates. Closing days are not fixed, so checking the shop social media for updates before visiting is recommended.
