Yakitori Meikan Akiyoshi Fukui Katamachi Branch
やきとりの名門 秋吉 福井片町店
The first branch of Akiyoshi, the yakitori chain founded in Fukui in 1959. Locals regard it as a soul food, and small skewers are ordered in sets of five.
Akiyoshi was founded in Fukui in 1959 and now has over a hundred branches nationwide. The Fukui Katamachi branch is the first store and effectively the head branch, although it is not named "Honten." The official Fukui City tourism website calls it "a Fukui soul food you'll always want to eat," and recommends starting with junkei (pure chicken) and shiro (pork intestine). Fried skewers are also popular. Small skewers are ordered in units of five, served quickly and affordably. Reservations are not accepted, and evenings often require waiting. It is about a three-minute walk from Ōmachi Station near the former site of Fukui Castle and about nine minutes from JR Fukui Station.
