Izakaya Tako-chan near Kokura Station~~~

Located in an alley off the main street of Kokura Uomachi, directly opposite Ichiran Ramen, this izakaya offers a nomihodai (all-you-can-drink) for 990 yen for 30 minutes, with an additional charge of 330 yen for every 10 minutes over. Takoyaki and dashiyaki are 660 yen for 8 pieces. All regular menu items are 440 yen. They have a Korean menu available, making it easy to order. The owner slightly resembles Son Seok-koo and The Quiett, and they take photos of every customer and post them on Instagram~~. The part-time female staff (Hiyori) is a university student who is very interested in Korea and can converse in Korean, asking lots of questions and being so kind and attentive that you might forget you're in Japan~~. Among the izakayas in Kokura, some places might ignore you if you come alone, but here they welcome you warmly, making it the perfect place to end your day~~. If I come back to Kitakyushu, this will definitely be my number one spot, it's such a pleasant placeㅎㅎ
