■ 1. Project Background
Supported in Nagoya's Kanayama area, 'Kirakuni Kanayama Main Store' has garnered attention from many sake and seafood lovers as an izakaya specializing in 'seafood x sake'. In recent years, it has surpassed 150,000 visitors. The number of customers visiting from not only within Japan but also from overseas is increasing, strengthening its presence as 'a place where sake lovers gather'.
The background to this is a lineup of rare sake carefully selected from all over the country. By offering hard-to-obtain popular brands such as Juyondai, No.6, Jikon, Hiroki, and Nabeshima at more accessible prices, it has gained broad support from sake beginners to connoisseurs. In terms of cuisine, it focuses on fresh seafood delivered directly from Hokkaido, offering a menu that uses the freshest fish of the day. It pursues an experience where 'sake can be the star, and seafood can also be the star'.
As a result, it has received a high rating on Tabelog (★3.52 / as of May 2026). https://tabelog.com/aichi/A2301/A230105/23084268/ It has now grown into a restaurant where it is difficult to get a reservation. With this support, it will now本格的に franchise (FC) development and promote nationwide expansion as a brand originating from Nagoya.
■ 2. Full Scope of the Project
Kirakuni Kanayama Main Store always has a lineup of over 50 types of sake. It handles a wide range from standard brands to rare sakes with limited availability, creating a composition where you can enjoy different encounters each time. A major feature is the ability to taste premium brands like Juyondai, No.6, Jikon, Hiroki, and Nabeshima at reasonable prices. It overturns the image of 'high-end sake = high barrier to entry' and realizes an environment where one can casually experience sake culture.
In terms of cuisine, it centers on seafood direct from Hokkaido, using the freshest fish in the best condition of the day. It focuses not only on freshness but also on bringing out the 'original flavor of the ingredients', developing a menu composition that even calculates the compatibility with sake.
Through word-of-mouth and referrals, visitors from all over Japan and overseas are increasing. It is gaining recognition as 'a seafood izakaya you must visit when in Nagoya'.
Going forward, FC development will be further accelerated. It is not just about store expansion but about promoting outlets nationwide under the vision of 'spreading the charm of sake culture and seafood throughout the country'. Kirakuni is supported not merely as a seafood izakaya, but as 'a place to experience sake and seafood culture'.
