Located just a short walk from Toyama Station, Kihachiya Izakaya is a lively and casual spot that captures the essence of Japanese pub culture while offering great value and convenience. Situated on the first floor of the Patio Sakura building, it's easy to find and perfect for travelers, solo diners, or locals looking for a relaxed meal and a drink. The izakaya is known for its three signature items: yakitori, kushikatsu, and ramen. These are all affordably priced and carefully prepared, with highlights like the handmade tsukune (chicken meatball skewers) grilled over binchotan charcoal, and the crispy torikawa (chicken skin skewers), which go through a multi-step process to bring out rich flavor and texture.

The interior is cheerful and welcoming, with both counter and table seating. One of its unique features is the use of metal pail-style stools that double as storage, allowing guests to keep their belongings safely tucked away. For ordering, there's a mix of styles: paper menus at the counter, verbal orders for drinks, and tablet-based menus at tables, making it easy for anyone to navigate.

Kihachiya opens early on weekends and offers lunch sets like karaage teishoku for under 1,000 yen, while dinner prices usually stay around 3,000–4,000 yen. It's a popular choice for daytime drinking, post-work gatherings, or casual solo visits. The atmosphere tends to be lively and a bit noisy, which adds to the charm for some but may not suit those looking for a quiet meal. Still, with its fast service, friendly staff, and great location right by the station, Kihachiya remains a go-to option for a fun and satisfying izakaya experience in central Toyama. ‪@TastyWaterOM‬
