関内で「ちょっといい店知ってる?」と聞かれたら、迷わず出したいのが 城熊。雑居ビルの2階という立地ながら、一歩入ると白を基調にした落ち着いた空間が広がり、いい意味で期待を裏切られる。 まず外せないのが馬肉系。馬刺しはクセがなく、旨みがしっかり。薬味とのバランスも良く、“ちょっといい居酒屋”の域を軽く超えてくるクオリティ。さらに一品料理も抜かりなく、魚系や創作系まで幅広いので、飲みでも食事でも満足度が高い。 そしてこの店の真価は“時間帯”。深夜まで営業しているため、2軒目や遅い時間でもしっかり料理と酒を楽しめるのが強い。日本酒・焼酎のラインナップも豊富で、ゆっくり飲みたい夜にぴったり。 ガヤガヤ系ではなく、しっぽり系。デートや少人数飲みに最適な一軒。関内で“外さない隠れ家”、ここです。 If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Kannai, 城熊 is a must-visit. Located on the second floor of a modest building, this place surprises you the moment you step inside. The clean, modern interior creates a calm and slightly upscale atmosphere—perfect for a relaxed night out. Their specialty is horse meat dishes. The basashi (raw horse meat) is fresh, tender, and surprisingly mild in flavor, even for first-timers. It pairs perfectly with condiments and feels far beyond typical izakaya quality. The menu also includes a wide variety of dishes—from seafood to creative small plates—making it great whether you’re here to drink or dine. Another highlight is the late-night opening hours. It’s an excellent spot for a second stop or a quiet drink after dinner. The selection of sake and shochu is impressive, ideal for those who enjoy Japanese alcohol culture. Not a loud party place, but a cozy, hidden spot for dates or small groups. A reliable choice when you want something a bit more special in Yokohama.
