About this place
Set along the railway line in Terado-cho, Muko City, Kyuzo frequently sees tables start off with its signature tonpeiyaki. Pork is grilled crisp and fragrant on the teppan iron griddle before being wrapped in soft, runny egg, delivering a direct harmony of savory sauce and rich flavor. The straightforward recipe highlights precise heat control, making it a natural companion to an opening drink.
The griddle selection spans both familiar staples and inventive creations. An okonomiyaki savory pancake crisped on the teppan and dipped into light dashi broth offers a refreshing alternative to heavy sauce-glazed versions. Skirt steak cooked to your preferred doneness and crunchy griddled lotus root with cheese provide satisfying textures to accompany drinks, while yakisoba noodles topped with a soft-poached egg remain a perennial favorite to round off a meal.
The drink list lives up to the shop's focus on libations, featuring sakes such as Shuten-doji from Kyoto and Kuzuryu from Fukui alongside an assortment of shochu labels. Guests looking to sample different profiles can opt for a three-glass tasting flight. With both counter and table seating, the space is well suited to unwinding in the evening over freshly cooked teppan plates and thoughtfully paired drinks.
