The name of the bird says it all: kuro Satsuma-dori, black Satsuma chicken, grilled sumibi-yaki-style over open charcoal until the skin chars to a gorgeous dark crisp. The modern-meets-rustic interior buzzes with locals enjoying local specialities — marinated katsuo sashimi, kurobuta pork salad, and tsukune chicken meatballs dipped in raw egg or melted cheese. It's the kind of izakaya where every dish tells you something about Kagoshima's proud food culture.
