THE KICHI — Restaurant in Nikko

2k to 3k yen if you get a meal with some beer. 1k to 2k if you get a meal and non-alcoholic drink. The beer and food are great! The menu is limited, but you can't make a mistake picking something! I am a bit of a beer snob, and I was not disappointed! We got the curry/pork and rice plate. It was not very spicy (my preference), warm, hearty, and very flavorful.

It seems like it's a small family owned brew pub who are proud of what they make, as they should be. Everything was delicious! They speak English fairly well too. Be sure to stop in whether you're a tourist or local!
