Tosa Binchōtanyaki Onomi

Top choice in Shikoku


You'll need to be a tad adventurous to eat here as there's no English menu, but it's a top spot for regional meat cuisine, especially wild venison shot by the owner. Other charcoal-grilled meats include Kōchi beef, pork, chicken and – in season – inoshishi (wild boar). Quench your thirst with Kōchi sake, shōchu or tasty cold beer.
