OKAYAMA: Kushiage Senmonten (Specialty Shop) with a huge counter seating area overlooking the kitchen! Plus amazing folks (Sony RX100M3)

Japan has had this GoTo Travel incentive where the government will cover 40% of your airfare and pay you 3,000 yen in local coupons for dining/shopping... but That was recently lowered to 20% and 2,000 in coupons. Anyways Okayama is one of the last cities still offering this travel discount. SO I WENT!
Not gonna lie.. I was a bit drunk when I made the reservation. 

Okayama city is such a small cozy place... So just wandered into this wallet friendly Kushiage spot with a huge counter seating area. 

My Fav! Bottle beeru

The Otoshi. (Automatic appetizer).

Views of the chef.


Kushiage is alway sooo reasonable. 




These 2 guys kept ordering Japanese hi-balls... after about 30 minutes I asked if this was a Okayama specialty. Seems it just the way this place named their Whisky Hi-ball.  Talked to them for a solid 45 minutes and they were here from Osaka and Hiroshima on a business trip. Cool! They bought me 3 high balls and even took care of my 1,800 yen tab.  Such nice guys.   

If you write a google review you get 500 yen off. 



Overall such a welcoming environment for lone diners.  Service was quick, clean and will definitely be back again.  

The younger guy from Hiroshima took me out a few girls karaoke bars... was a great evening.
