Grab a drink with Kochi locals at this hidden spot

If you’re taking a night stroll around downtown Kochi City, not far from 400-year-old Kochi Castle you may come across an alluring, red neon sign. Congratulations! You’ve found one of the city's hidden gems…welcome to Kochi 55 Bangai

This atmospheric back alley is full of retro izakaya (Japanese bars) where you can enjoy some of the best Kochi beers, sake, and iconic comfort foods like seared bonito, yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), and soba buckwheat noodles

Just a five-minute walk from the beloved Hirome Market (also known as “Kochi’s kitchen”), come to Kochi 55 Bangai for your *obligatory* second round of delicious food and drinks with locals
