When locals think of an izakaya in Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi, the first name that comes to mind is probably “ふじや.”
I’ve been there more times than I can count since my student days, and it’s still a place I visit often.
For this izakaya feature, we stopped by that very “ふじや.”
There are two locations, one northwest of the station and one southeast of it, and this time we went to “ふじや 本店,” located northwest of the station.
目次
Challenge Start!
First things first, we started with this.
It’s a “Draft Beer (Medium Mug)” (450 yen).
Their draft beer is Asahi Super Dry.
It seems you can now get kushikatsu at ふじや as well.
So we ordered the “Chef’s Choice 5-Kind Kushikatsu Assortment” (680 yen).
This time, it included “pork,” “quail egg,” “shrimp,” “sweet potato,” and “eggplant.”
Here’s the sauce.
Of course, no double-dipping!
Wow, this looks good.
It definitely makes the drinks go down even faster.
For my second drink, I tried the “Freezing Lemon Sour” (420 yen).
It comes packed with lots of frozen lemon.
Next, we ordered this “Tonpei-yaki” (480 yen).
This is another classic izakaya dish.
Now for the third drink: we ordered a “refill chu” (290 yen) for the “Freezing Lemon Sour” from earlier.
Refills are 290 yen, so that’s a pretty good deal.
We still seemed to have a little room left in the budget, so we decided to order one more item.
This time, we went with dessert.
This is the “Homemade Cheesecake with Ice Cream” (400 yen).
The rich cheesecake and refreshing ice cream make a great combination.
So, how much did the bill come to this time…
I think we landed in a pretty good spot…
Here’s the result!
2,992 yen!!
Excellent!!
Looks like we learned from last time.
This time we ordered a draft beer (medium mug), the chef’s choice 5-kind kushikatsu assortment, a Freezing Lemon Sour, tonpei-yaki, a refill chu, and homemade cheesecake with ice cream.
That was everything!

As expected from ふじや.

The 1st floor has lots of regular table seating.

Please check the signboard images to see what they look like.
The 4th floor is a hall that looks like this.
There’s karaoke too.
I use it often myself.
Exterior of Izakaya “ふじや 本店”
This is what the exterior looks like.
Both the restaurant and the sign are large, so it should be easy to spot.
