About this spot
Former sumo wrestler Chef Yoshikane serves his signature Aged Local Chicken Chanko Nabe, a hearty broth simmered for ten hours that rivals the flavors of professional wrestlers' training halls. The menu features unique rock-grilled yakitori cooked over Binchotan charcoal and molten rock from Mount Aso, offering a smoky depth you won't find at typical izakayas. Don't miss the spicy fire-blasted motsu nabe or the juicy Mingtai Mayo Chicken Tender for a lighter bite.
💡 Tips before you go
- Ask to switch your chanko nabe broth to kimchi flavor for an extra 200 yen if you prefer something spicier.
- Order the First Rock-grilled Yakitori early in the evening to catch Chef Yoshikane's special offer price of 3500 yen.
- Bring a full stomach, as the single-serving chanko nabe portions are massive and filling.
