About
Kawafuku
Welcome to Kawafuku, a charming and traditional eatery nestled in the heart of Takamatsu, Kagawa, Japan. Located at 2-1 Daikumachi, this nostalgic diner may be compact in size, but it offers a huge portion of heart and hospitality. Run by a warm elderly couple, the atmosphere is nothing short of welcoming, making it a delightful stop for both locals and travelers seeking an authentic Japanese dining experience.
The menu at Kawafuku is a seafood lover's dream, presenting a variety of options including the highly praised tempura and sashimi. For just 900 yen, patrons can indulge in a hearty set meal where they select either shrimp or fish tempura, accompanied by a steaming heap of white rice, miso soup, and assorted side dishes. The food is beautifully presented, although some customers noted that the self-serve system at the counter could lead to slightly cooler dishes. Nonetheless, the perfectly seasoned tempura and the fresh, expertly cut sashimi—offered for an additional 1,000 yen—confirm why Kawafuku is a must-visit. Seasonal ingredients, like salmon and yellowtail, reflect the freshness and quality that patrons appreciate.
One of the rave reviews highlighted the kindness shown by the owners. Notably, when a guest left behind their sunglasses, the owner’s son rode his bicycle to return the lost item, showcasing the exceptional level of care that defines this establishment. The personal touch and intimate charm make you feel right at home, even though the shop itself is modest and at times crowded.
Visitors often remark on the deliciousness of the miso soup and the freshness of the fish, which is treated with reverence in its preparation. Adding a touch of nostalgia, customers find it refreshing to dine in a place that feels like a step back in time, away from the frenetic pace of modern life. Some have even called it a rare gem, especially in a world where such intimate dining experiences are becoming increasingly rare.
If you’re wandering through Takamatsu, a visit to Kawafuku promises not just a meal but a memory. With its friendly service, delightful seafood dishes, and the comforting atmosphere created by an endearing older couple, you may just find your new favorite spot. Don't be surprised if you leave with a full belly and a warm heart, eager to return for another taste of their exceptional offerings.

“ 高松に行った時に昼食で寄りました。初めて訪問です。このお店の雰囲気、自分的には好きです！ カウンターに並んでいるエビフライ、カキフライなどのメイン料理か刺身を選んでとの事でした。わたしは刺身を選びましたが金額はどれを選んでも900円のようです。 選んだ刺身に、ご飯、お汁、高野豆腐の一品、漬け物が付いてきました。刺身も結構なボリューム。 どれも美味しかったです。コスパ抜群だと思います。 ごちそうさまでした ”
“ ランチで訪問。もう3時前だったので終わっていたけどおばちゃんが対応してくれた。カウンターにあったのはホタテと魚のフライ。魚のフライを選ぶと、ご飯や味噌汁と小鉢がきた。900円。笑顔が素敵なおばちゃんでホッコリした。 ”
“ グーグルマップで私の好きなレトロな食堂を探していて偶然見つけた「お食事処まつおかさん」に行って来ました。今回は平日限定のランチが目的で初訪問なので家を早めに出て開店前から少し待つ事にしました。こちらの店には駐車場が無いので近くのコインパーキングに停めてから少し歩いて開店の20分前に到着しました。少し待っていると中から魚を焼いてある良い香りがして来ました。何を食べようか迷いながらワクワクしていると中から高齢の大将が出て来て赤提灯と暖簾をかけました。開店時間にはあと10分有りますが少し早めの開店です。今日は雨あいにくの雨で傘をさして待っていたので助かりました。早速入店してカウンターに座ると大将が刺身か煮魚かエビフライのどれにしますか?と聞かれたので私達はエビフライと刺身を選びました。先ずは刺身から提供され次に炊き立てのご飯・たくあん・目玉焼き・揚げたてのエビフライ・ワカメたっぷりの味噌汁の順番です。刺身は季節や仕入れの状況で種類が変わるらしく因みに今回の刺身はクロマグロと小魚だそうです。食べた感想は間違い無い美味しさでした。炊き立てのご飯で揚げたてのエビフライ・新鮮な刺身が900円で食べられる満足感は最高でした。現在物価高騰で少しづつ値上げしたらしいですが2年前は700円で出していたらしいので驚きました ”
“ 繁華街から少し離れたところの住宅街にありました。 入るのに少し勇気のいる外観でしたが、とっても美味しいお店でした！ おじいちゃんとおばあちゃんで切り盛りしているお店で、優しい方々でほっこりしました。 刺身定食をいただきました。 まず、お味噌汁が美味しい！どんな出汁を引いているんだろと、 また、メインの刺身も新鮮で旨みがある感じでとても満足できました！ 高野豆腐やお漬物がついているのもよかったです！ エビフライ定食も少しいただきましたが、こちらもサクサク、大きめのエビがたくさんあり美味しかったです。 少しでも長くやってほしいお店でした。 ”
“ 900엔에 새우튀김과 생선튀김 중 하나를 선택해 먹을 수 있는 정식 메뉴가 있어요. 흰 쌀 고봉밥에 국, 그리고 약간의 반찬이 곁들여져 나옵니다. 미리 만들어둔 음식을 카운터 앞에 진열해놓고 손님들이 직접 선택해 가져가면 밥과 국, 반찬을 서빙해주는 시스템입니다. 때문에 음식들이 식어 있긴 했지만, 튀김 간이 잘 되어 있고 맛도 너무 좋아서 만족스러웠어요. 따뜻할 때 먹었으면 너무 맛있었을텐데 약간 아쉬워요. 천 엔을 추가하면 숙성회를 곁들일 수 있는데, 시기에 따라 생선이 달라진다고 합니다. 저희가 갔을 때는 연어와 방어회였는데, 깔끔하고 신선한 맛이 인상적이었어요. 가게 내부는 오래되고 자리도 협소하지만, 주인 할머니와 할아버지가 매우 친절하시고 외국인 손님도 따뜻하게 맞아주십니다. 현재는 아드님이 주로 요리를 담당하시는 것 같아요. 특히 식사 후에 제가 선글라스를 깜빡 두고 나왔는데, 아드님이 자전거를 타고 직접 찾아다주셔서 정말 감동받았습니다. 다카마츠에 다시 오게 된다면, 주저 없이 재방문할 가게입니다. ”
“ Nostalgic neighborhood diner. Very small shop with cute elderly couple running things. Menu focuses on seafood and small plates including catch of the day sashimi. Fish is fresh and expertly cut. Fried tofu had a wonderful gentle taste. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find places like this these days, worth a visit. ”
“ Food is good and very affordable. The restaurant is obviously old and retains a kind of nostalgic atmosphere. The old couple running the shop is very nice. Location is slightly out of the way but is well worth the effort to visit. ”
“ It’s truly a hidden treasure, don’t hesitate and go inside! We were lucky to have the eel rice bowl and crispy shrimp and fried fish and of course the sashimi! Everything’s so yummy, that shrimps were my fav. The couple are very nice and warm, we learnt that their restaurant is on the 44th year, and you can see so many pieces of history in their place! We enjoyed talking with the owners, they are really cute and kind. Dinner was absolutely delicious!!!!! ”
