Like a Tavern is one of those rare finds that instantly makes you feel at home. Tucked away in Kumamoto, this cozy spot has become one of our favorite go-to places — not just for dining in, but for comfort food that hits all the right notes.
Their burger is hands down one of the best we’ve had in Japan — juicy, flavorful, and crafted with care. But the star doesn’t stop there. The Chicken Over Rice is absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned, hearty, and satisfying. It’s the kind of dish you’ll crave again and again.
