Butaman Takamatsu kita — Restaurant in Takamatsu

The food was excellent!

Communication was a bit tricky as we don't speak Japanese, the waitress didn’t speak English and everything was written in Japanese.

Thankfully, with the help of Google Translate and pictures on the menu, we were able to select our food easily.

The restaurant seemed very locally oriented—most of the guests appeared to be locals, mostly younger people. It had a lively, sports bar kind of vibe.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because smoking is allowed, and the service was a bit slow—just a little.

Note that some tables have floor seating, and you’ll need to take off your shoes for those.

In our case, the smoke was tolerable only because the place was well-ventilated and there was a fan between our table and the smokers'.

If you're not afraid of a bit of a communication challenge, want some local food, and are bendy enough to sit on the floor for a while, I’d recommend...

The food is great … the stewed pork (角煮豆腐） literally melts in your mouth. Owner is warm and friendly. He visited my country of Singapore 15 years ago for his honeymoon and he shared that he had the shop for 20...

Absolutely wonderful place. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful to foreigners. Did not have an English menu, but had a lot of patience for us. We had an excellent meal with great atmosphere here....
