Savor famous croquettes and daytime drinks at a marble counter steeped in 1927 charm

  • Famous round homemade croquettes
  • Great-value draft beer set
  • Kansai-style kizushi that pairs well with drinks
  • Casual daytime drinking from 12:00
  • Quick drop-in for solo drinking
  • Showa retro marble counter
  • Long-established tavern founded in 1927

Retaining its Showa-era retro appearance in a corner of the bustling Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, Kyogoku Stand is a historic casual diner and tavern founded in 1927. Stretching across the center of the interior is an iconic long marble face-to-face counter, creating a nostalgic ambiance that feels as though you have traveled back in time. The specialty homemade croquette, shaped like a round ball and freshly fried to crispy perfection, is a popular item packed with the fluffy, comforting texture of potatoes. There is also an abundance of appetizers that delight drink enthusiasts, such as Kansai-style firmly cured mackerel (kizushi) and a great-value draft beer set featuring various snacks on a single plate. Opening at 12:00, the venue bustles day and night with diverse patrons, ranging from solo visitors casually enjoying drinks to diners looking for a set meal (teishoku). You can spend a relaxing, unpretentious time enjoying old-fashioned charm, including abacus accounting and unique order slips.
