Junya Kinbara金原純也さん has finally opened his first izakaya beginning of with the smiling help of Yuuko Nakamura/中村優子さん and is already attracting some deserved attention from Japanese sake lovers and the local media!

Junya being interviewed by Dai Ichi TV!

The cedar ball in front of the establishment leave no doubt as to what it is specializing in!

Japanese Sake Place!
Kin No O-Kan!
“Kin” stands for the first kanji of Junya’s family name, “no” means “of” and “O-Kan” stands for hot sake!

The place consists of single counter along the kitchen with comfortable stools in front of your tray and a shelf of sake cups to choose from!

A great idea to offer a choice of sake cups in a small shelf box!

It is just all superb sake from Shizuoka Prefecture and all over Japan including a whole range from Takahsima Brewery in Numazu City!

Aoshima Brewery, Hatsukame brewery another favorite of mine, Morimoto Brewery!

More classics chilled inside the fridge!

The announcement of a special sake beside the sake brew master’s apron of the famous Kubota in Fukui Prefecture!

The second menu including oden and dry-aged beef!

Look forward to the next full report!
