First Time Having Chicken Sashimi! We came here after the Unilocal Event for uni students who want to study abroad :) Kibaiyanse is a tiny Izakaya located on the outskirts of the National Stadium and Sendagaya. It serves traditional Kyushu cuisine: Chicken Sashimi, Satsumaage, Smoked Bonito, & much more! Trying raw chicken might be intimidating for Westerners, but the quality standard procedures are very strict in Japan and the ones served in restaurants are safe to eat lol If you’re a fan of Japanese Sake, try out the potato based Shochu: the«Imo shochu» The smoked bonito was also very delicious

A izakaya near National Olympic Stadium that specializes on food from western Japanese Island of Kyushu. Do you like sashimi? Sure, many of you love raw fish. How about chicken sashimi? Yep, raw chicken. De-feather it, cut it up, and put it on a plate. Bön appetite. This style is common in Japan, especially in the modern days of Japan. In the old days, freshness of the food and testing of the chicken was not as enhanced as now, so you needed to be more careful, but these days, I find places like Kibaiyanse that serves raw chicken meat frequently. 90% of my mind find it quite tasty; while 10% of my mind tells me to be careful. Therefore, I eat these thinks a bit hesitantly. As for me, I did not get sick the next day, so I confirmed that what they serve here is quite fresh. Aside from chicken sashimi, they have other items like grilled chicken and smoked bonito. Most of the dishes here are designed to go really well with Sho-chu alcohol. These are Japanese vodka, made from potato, corn, buck wheat, etc. Drinks: Sapporo beer on draft, one type of sake, or Shochu. If you can drink alcohol, you should go with their Sho-chu, which is what they specialize in. I had it, and it made me feel really good. Some people call it poor man’s whiskey. Compared to other alcoholic drinks, it is one of the cheapest way to get drunk. English friendly? I did not test this, but I doubt that they speak English nor do they have English menu. Point to the pictures of the food posted on Unilocal to order. Attire: Go casual. Jeans or shorts. Smoking: On the day I went, no one was smoking, but our table had an ash tray, so I am sure it could get smokey at times. Price: Really depends on how much you drink, but expect to pay about 500 Yen per drink and 1000 Yen per dish. Sharing the food among friends, you can go home spending about 2000 to 3000 Yen per person. Hours: On weekdays, they are open until 2AM. On weekends, they close at midnight.
