笑味 — Restaurant in Yame

Stumbled upon this cozy izakaya on a quiet weekday night, and it turned out to be one of the most heartwarming dining experiences I’ve had in Japan. The couple running the place were incredibly kind. I ordered chicken gizzard, beef curry, and sake—everything was fresh and full of flavor.

Even though I was full before arriving, I wanted to take the rest to go. The owner seemed hesitant at first (possibly due to a cultural difference or policy), but kindly prepared a whole new set of curry and gizzard just for me—and even gifted me a bottle of wine! I was honestly shocked by their generosity.

This place isn’t just about great food—it’s about the people. I’m so grateful for their hospitality and can’t wait to come back next time I’m in town. I think I accidentally left the wine bottle there, so I hope the lovely couple enjoyed it after...
