What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Est. 1927. A venerable public house operated by the adjacent liquor shop, just 1 minute from JR Wakayama Station. The Showa-era interior — handwritten menus covering every wall, a U-shaped counter — hasn't changed in decades. From 9:30 AM, locals gather to enjoy whale dishes and regional delicacies with local sake. Featured on the 'Sake Bar Wandering Records' TV program.

Reviews say 'a legendary Showa-era bar open from morning,' 'the whale dishes are genuinely delicious,' 'regulars make you feel like a local immediately,' 'the bar featured on Yoshida Rui's TV show,' 'excellent selection of local Wakayama sake.' TripAdvisor 4.0 / 22 reviews.
