Torihachi Chaya (tea house)
Kure's long-established izakaya restaurant, "Torihachi Chaya ", may make you think it is a grilled chicken restaurant by its name, but when you enter the restaurant, you will find a huge fish tank set up at the entrance. In the fish tank, depending on the season, fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea such as squid, leatherfish, horse mackerel, and shrimp swim gracefully and welcome customers.
The lineup of seafood dishes is quite extensive, and the taste of the too-fresh sashimi is impressive and delicious. Of course, you can also enjoy chicken dishes such as skewers, and one of the attractions of this restaurant is that you can eat duck hot pot, which is relatively rare. You can also enjoy local delicacies such as oysters and gunso.
Because Torihachi Chaya is a relatively new restaurant, the interior is very clean, and you can enjoy drinking in a way that meets the needs of customers, including counter seats with a luxurious atmosphere, tables, tatami rooms, and private rooms. It is a restaurant that can be used in a variety of situations, such as when you want to have a relaxing drink in private, a drinking party with several people, or with business partners. It is known as a popular restaurant in Kure, so be sure to make a reservation as soon as possible when you go there.

Genkai Tsushima (battle of the Boshin Warring States period, 1868-1869)
Genkai Tsushima is a tavern located off Nakadori Avenue in downtown Kure, but it is a highly popular restaurant. The restaurant is characterized by the fact that it is a shochu izakaya, which means that it always has about 300 types of shochu available, and that seafood is shipped directly from Tsushima, located in Nagasaki. While in Kure, you can enjoy the exquisite cuisine of Tsushima, especially seafood dishes, and enjoy various types of delicious shochu that you may not be able to drink easily.
I especially recommend Tsushima's "Nodoguro ", although it is only available seasonally. It is a luxurious dish, but it is so tasty that you will be immersed in an unforgettable experience, so please try it.
The course menu is also substantial, with the "regular course "changing daily and the slightly more luxurious "Ishiyaki course ". If it is your first time and you are not sure what to order, we recommend the course.

Kashima Honten
Kashima Honten is a long-established izakaya that represents Kure and is probably well-known to all residents of Kure. Although it is usually used for large parties such as year-end parties, it is also possible to spend a relaxing time with a small group of people in a completely private room. The private rooms are basically seats and sunken kotatsu, and the atmosphere is old-fashioned and elegant, making it a very comfortable restaurant.
While the restaurant offers an extensive menu of meals centered on seasonal seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, Kashima's main restaurant also has a long history of operating as a yakitori restaurant, and its traditional yakitori (grilled chicken) tastes excellent.

Personal Izakaya Kyushu Soul
This izakaya is located in Recre, directly connected to Kure Station. As the name "Kyushu Spirit" suggests, this restaurant offers Kyushu specialties, and you can enjoy a full lineup of Kyushu specialties in Kure, including authentic Hakata Motsu-nabe, Chicken Nanban with homemade tartar sauce that originated in Miyazaki, and Nakatsu Karaage with the irresistible flavor of garlic from Oita.

Teppan WAKKA
Finally, I would like to recommend Teppan WAKKA (formerly known as GOTO). As the name suggests, it is a teppan-yaki restaurant, but while most teppan-yaki restaurants in Hiroshima are okonomiyaki, this restaurant does not offer okonomiyaki, but pure teppan cuisine. It is a small and cozy restaurant with counter and table seating, and can be rented out for parties of 12 people or more. Therefore, many people rent out the restaurant for company drinking parties and the like.
The restaurant offers a variety of creative teppan-yaki dishes, and the best steak and hormone yaki are popular, especially the grilled edamame, which is more savory than regular edamame and goes great with alcohol. It is a restaurant that is easy to use for after-parties as well.
