Established 54 years ago, this is a hidden gem located in 'Higashi-koji' near Matsumoto Castle. Thanks to our customers, we were selected as one of the '100 Famous Stores' in 2021, 2023, and 2025. We offer seasonal dishes, starting with locally sourced horse sashimi, followed by 'wild vegetables and bamboo shoots' in spring, 'winter melon, sweetfish, and pike conger' in summer, 'Matsutake mushroom dishes' and our 'signature mushroom hot pot' in autumn, and 'blowfish dishes,' 'longtooth grouper hot pot,' and 'wild boar hot pot' in winter. We strive to satisfy both local customers and tourists alike. Please enjoy our signature seasonal cuisine.
"Exquisite Horse Sashimi" for 1,500 yen is a popular dish that you should definitely try. It is the finest locally produced horse sashimi. The part of the horse that is used changes depending on the day's stock. "Horse Tongue Sashimi" for 1,000 yen is also recommended. This rare horse tongue sashimi has a firm texture and a refreshing taste.
Kikuzo is proud not only of its food, but also of the tasteful and relaxed atmosphere of its restaurant. With its solid exterior, go through the tasteful noren curtains to find a row of relaxed counter seats. Enjoy a delicious time with the friendly owner, surrounded by seasonal ingredients, sake, shochu, and wine lined up at the counter.
We offer autumn-only dishes such as dishes using locally grown matsutake mushrooms and our specialty mushroom hotpot, which uses plenty of mushrooms. The hotpot filled with plenty of natural mushrooms has been very popular, and some people come to the restaurant just for it. From around December, we will also be introducing the popular "Bamboo Shoot Manju" (850 yen), a popular menu item that attracts many repeat customers, with a skin made from plenty of bamboo shoots and a filling of minced meat, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. Please enjoy the flavor of bamboo shoots.
Speaking of winter delicacies, it's definitely pufferfish. From December to March, our restaurant delivers fresh, top-quality tiger pufferfish directly from Kyushu. Enjoy the taste of winter with dishes such as "Tessa" (2,500 yen), "Fugu Chiri" (3,500 yen), "Fried pufferfish" and "Grilled milt". We also offer a "Fugu Course" for 10,800 yen or 12,900 yen (reservations required).
