This popular izakaya tucked away in a back alley lives by the motto “Bring happiness to all you meet!” The owner’s carefully selected fresh shellfish and the popular crispy fried chicken wings are both must-try items. Guests can choose from four set menu options: A) Vegan, B) Fish, C) Chicken, or D) Beef. The drink selection includes homemade umeshu, local “VOYAGER” craft beer, and “Kou” regional sake. The friendly owner and staff make Zen a favorite spot for guests staying at nearby accommodations.
