Rose Salt Zucchini
Yakitori pairs perfectly with zucchini to cut the richness~
Old Ink Thin-Crust Pizza $280
Highly recommended—everyone should order this!!! I saw it on IG and it looked amazing, so I ordered it right away~ The ultra-thin, super-crispy crust is loaded with toppings that spill out~ The aroma hits you the moment it arrives!
Look at that cheese pull—it's irresistible~ The crispy crust is packed with cheese, meat slices, and soft, caramelized onions. Every bite is mouthwatering~ The portion is generous; you'll definitely leave full~
Rosemary Chicken Steak $180
This chicken steak is incredibly fragrant and goes great with rice! The rosemary aroma is rich, the skin is super crispy, and the chicken thigh is bouncy and juicy. I'd eat ten bowls if it came with white rice~
The chicken is very tender and never dry, with a delightful Q-bouncy texture that's refreshing and not greasy~
Salt-Grilled Fish Collar $200
My boyfriend loves fish collar. Lightly seasoned, the sweet, fresh meat combined with the crispy skin is perfect with drinks or rice~

This creative dish is also great with rice! It feels like something you'd find at a stir-fry restaurant—makes you want to order a bowl of white rice!!
After mixing in the raw egg, the chicken strips are coated in egg yolk—each bite is silky and smooth. The flavor is bold and pairs perfectly with beer~

Chocolate Bobo Balls $100
Dessert is the perfect finishing touch. My boyfriend and I can't get enough—dessert has its own stomach! I feel like I could eat ten plates of these chocolate bobo balls by myself because they're so delicious! This is a weekday-only item~~ The freshly baked, crispy chocolate balls have a texture similar to sweet potato balls but more substantial, topped with fresh cream and condensed milk. They're not overly sweet and add wonderful texture~
The best part!! They have a molten center!!! The chocolate lava is amazing—hot and careful not to burn your mouth~ The outside is crispy, the inside is Q-bouncy, and the whole thing is incredibly tasty!!! Everyone must order this aaaah~~
KIRIN Ichiban Shibori Beer $180

You can't visit an izakaya without drinking! The Ichiban Shibori here comes in a full bottle~ My boyfriend was thrilled~
Girls should try the shandy series. The orange-guava flavor I ordered is excellent—sweet-tart and refreshing, not too heavy. Girls will definitely love it~
大村武串燒居酒屋's food is excellent. Even if you don't drink, it's worth visiting just for the meal. No wonder many parents bring their kids for dinner—it's an izakaya but not too noisy or smoky, with a comfortable dining environment that makes you want to return again and again! Highly recommended~~
