A Wide Variety of Drinks!

Izakaya-Dining Chushin no Kura has various kinds of drinks to pair with their dishes. We recommend a craft beer called Atami Beer. A craft brewery is becoming more popular each year. It is made with a spring water from Mt. Fuji and is one of the most famous craft beers in Shizuoka.

The most popular item on the menu is Jiaji no Tataki （chopped fresh local horse mackerel - 600-700 yen）. They use fresh whole horse mackerel that is caught near Atami. The fish has sweet fatty meat and a delicate yet firm texture. It goes very well with rice as well as sake.

Popular House-made Cured Mackerel

This Aburi Shimesaba （broiled salt and vinegar cured mackerel - 850 yen） is so popular that it is almost always sold out. By broiling the surface, the fat of the fish is mellowed to give it a light taste. You will keep eating this delicious dish until it's gone.
