Rokkakudo Izakaya
So Good I Went Twice
Motsunabe in Izuhara, Tsushima, Japan
Hey there!
It’s Traveling Gomyammi, your around-the-world travel blogger.
Looking for dinner or a second stop for drinks on Tsushima?
Let me introduce you to Rokkakudo izakaya.
I actually wandered in without knowing anything about it,
only to discover it’s a seriously popular restaurant.
Apparently, some people even make reservations ahead of time.
And yes, I ended up going twice during my three-day, two-night trip!
Rokkakudo izakaya
is right in the center of Izuhara.
The streets of Izuhara are so pretty in the evening.
What I loved about Tsushima was its genuinely rural, small-town feel:
seeing local residents going about their day,
the charming little streets,
and how close everything feels to nature.
Here’s a look at Rokkakudo when I walked past during the day.
Japanese storefronts can be so understated
that I sometimes couldn’t even tell whether a place was open.
Then I’d step inside and discover a fantastic restaurant or izakaya, a Japanese pub. I loved those surprises.

This is Rokkakudo!
It’s an easy stop right by central Izuhara.
A sign outside advertised motsunabe, a Japanese offal hot pot, and that immediately caught my attention.
Inside, there were counter seats,
about three low tables seating four people each,
and some space for larger groups farther back.
I also pointed Google Lens at a sign outside to see what it said.
Turns out it was a part-time help-wanted notice!
There’s a Korean-language menu, and the staff are incredibly friendly.
The menu is packed with hot pots, fried dishes, and small plates that are perfect with drinks.
Draft Beer
Motsunabe
Karaage, Japanese Fried Chicken
Buttered Corn
Seriously, what do they put in Japanese beer to make it taste this good?
I’m not even much of a beer drinker,
but this was so cold, refreshing, and delicious.
Motsunabe
We thought two servings might be too much, so we ordered just one.
Even that was generous—and so delicious it completely won me over.
A little kick of chili,
a light, clean-tasting broth,
and plump, pale pieces of beef intestine without a trace of funk.
I’m going to be thinking about this for a long time. Best motsunabe I’ve ever had.
We went back and forth on whether to order the buttered corn, then finally gave in.
If you’re picturing Korean corn cheese—sweet corn topped with melted cheese—this is something entirely different.
It was ridiculously good,
my second-favorite dish after the motsunabe.
Just look at that corn sizzling away in melted butter!
Karaage
Freshly fried karaage,
and another absolute winner.
Seriously, why was everything I ate on Tsushima so good?
These are the side dishes we tried on our second visit.
I couldn’t stop thinking about the motsunabe, so of course we went back.
First up: these butter-grilled king oyster mushrooms.
Just ¥600, and absolutely incredible.
Sizzling Grilled Beef Intestines
Another standout.
How could it possibly be this good?
You really need to order this.
Asparagus, green bell peppers, onions—there wasn’t a single thing on that plate I didn’t love.
And the motsunabe was every bit as delicious the second time.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for more.
If you’re looking for an izakaya in Izuhara,
you have to try the motsunabe at Rokkakudo izakaya.
The owner is incredibly kind, too.
We even got candy on our way out!
