Traditional Kyoto town house-style izakaya in Fukui City “Kobu”

I went to the izakaya “Kobu” as it was my friend’s recommendation.
 “Kobu” has just opened last year in Katamachi, where is the busiest restaurant area in Fukui City.

I opened the door, which was only a store curtain hung and I almost missed it though, there was a narrow and deep hall way that can be seen at town houses in Kyoto.

The closer space is for the counter seats and there is a Japanese-style room at the back. The interior is modern Japanese-style. It is sophisticated but not too exclusive and they give family-like service so I felt comfortable.

As they have a lot of sake and wine, I recommend Kobu to enjoy meals with drinks and have relaxing time with friends.（H.S)
