Otari, Nagano, Japan｜Kiraku

Great Izakaya restaurant!! The price is quite reasonable and more importantly, dishes here are amazing. Since there’s only one chef, you gotta be patient for the order for a short while. There are about 25 seats indoor but sometimes it would be fully seated. If you are a group of people, please be sure to reserve in advance or come earlier.

Excellent Izakaya type of dishes. Very tasty and nice, 7 of us had a great meal. The staff were excellent and provided very good service. I would highly recommend that you make a reservation before going as the sitting is quite limited. Prices are very reasonable.

Food here was amazing. Every dish we ordered was good. Refer to photos for our orders. It was also mandatory to order a drink before ordering food. We also wish we were able to try everything on the menu. We also heard the couple next to us immediately reserving a slot for the night after because they enjoyed it so much. We would’ve too if we did not have another reservation elsewhere. We came in at 5.30 but was told they were packed and could only seat us at the bar counter. So please make a reservation early like the day before. Food takes a long time to reach your table because it is only one chef serving many. That could be why many groups are turned a way despite there being some available seats.
