Akita Kiritanpo Restaurant

秋田きりたんぽ屋

3.7Est. 90Akita, Tohoku

Overview

Izakaya specializing in rice cakes grilled over coals & served at counter seats or floor tables.

This cozy izakaya specializes in kiritanpo, Akita's signature comfort food of pounded rice formed around cedar skewers and grilled over charcoal. The star dish is kiritanpo nabe, a hearty hot pot with the grilled rice sticks simmered alongside local Hinai chicken, burdock root, and maitake mushrooms in a rich broth. Seating is a mix of counter spots where you can watch the grilling and intimate floor tables. At around 3,000 yen per person, it is a filling and affordable way to experience authentic Akita soul food.
