お料理 山乃口 (Oryori Yamanokuchi)

Tucked into a quiet alley in Fukuoka’s Haruyoshi district near Kushida Shrine, Oryori Yamanokuchi is an intimate counter-style izakaya run by a chef with a robatayaki background. The kitchen turns out seasonal sashimi platters, grilled fish, and wagyu and scallop dishes, finishing meals with clay-pot rice formed into salted onigiri. A recurring Tabelog Izakaya WEST Hyakumeiten selectee, it draws praise as a destination for quality Japanese small plates paired with sake.
