Isokura
Charcoal-grilled seafood izakaya housed in a remodeled teahouse once frequented by Yoshida Shoin. A beloved hangout for Yuda Onsen locals, with live-tank fish served as charcoal grills or sashimi. Excellent selection of Yamaguchi local sake. Ranked 3rd in Yamaguchi City on Tabelog (3.64, 177 reviews). Reservations required.
'Fish from the live tank is prepared right in front of you. The charcoal aroma and fresh ingredients make it extraordinary.' 'Fully booked by 7pm on weekends—walk-ins may be turned away.' 'If you want Yamaguchi local sake with seasonal fish, go to Isokura.'
