What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A theatrical izakaya where the kitchen is the stage. From curved counter seats, guests watch chefs cook with fresh ingredients sourced directly from Shimizu and Iburi ports. Rare western Kochi specialties — Shimizu mackerel, longhanded spiny lobster, whale dishes — are all here. Consistently cited as 'the must-visit in Shimanto, always reserve ahead.' 120-seat establishment.

Reviews say 'the Shimizu mackerel sashimi is the best mackerel I've ever eaten' and 'the theatrical format makes the food taste even better, watching the chefs work.' TripAdvisor 4.5 (60 reviews). Reservations are essential.
