Food & Beverage Recommendations

Kochi Beer Laboratory

Step into Bob's laboratory to sample a diverse selection of  delicious local brews, some unique in a way only the Japanese can do. Bob has mastered the art and science of pouring beer that is both fun to watch and intended to maximize your enjoyment.

Haruya (Izakaya)

Run by two lovely ladies, Matchi & Satchi, who make a new selection of freshly prepared dishes to choose from each day, and they are always delicious. Try a new sake with your food and enjoy as the place fills with people, conversation, and laughter.

Phoenix Burger

This cute little shop has a funky, nostalgic vibe and makes one heck of a good burger. Plenty of burgers are pretty similar, but the bread used here is unlike any burger you're likely to have tried. Even the french fries are different! Give it a try.

Tori-To-Sakana

Shikoku is known within Japan for its excellent, handmade daily,  udon noodles. And when you see the Japanese lining up before it even opens at 11am, and then all throughout the day, you know you have found a good spot! So why not eat where the locals go for a delicious bowl of udon.

Tone Dining Bar

Miho and Yuhei are wonderful team: Yuhei cooks the delicious meals and Miho prepares her own delightful cocktail creations. With dried flowers suspended around the space and jazz versions of hip-hop songs filling the air, it's a great place to come for a pleasant dinner and drink.

Grayge Coffee Roaster

This cafe north of Kochi Castle is one of the best in the city. A chic interior provides ample table space, plugs for charging your devices, and wifi for working away. Located in a peaceful neighbourhood overlooking the river, its a great spot to try one of their custom roasts and perfectly baked croissant.

Dan Dan Times

This experience begins outside with their beautiful garden. Stepping inside, you're greeted by friendly smiles and the most cheerful music. These Chinese noodles are not only exceptionally delicious but artistically presented. A feast for the senses.

'Shejugoem' (Izakaya)

Koji-san, the owner and chef, might be a surfer at heart but he comes up with a rotating menu of izakaya dishes that are both innovative and mouth-wateringly delicious. You can also cook your own wagyu steak. So grab a seat and a drink and enjoy the energetic atmosphere as you taste some of Kochi's best late-night grub.
