01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
When the skewers arrive hot off the charcoal, their generous cut immediately stands out. Located in a residential corner of Ichinoe, Gensuke operates as a welcoming neighborhood izakaya built around satisfying pork kushiyaki and drink-friendly dishes. The skewer lineup covers white pork selections like tender liver, kashira pork cheek, tongue, heart, cartilage, tendon, skirt meat, teppo intestine, nodogashira throat cartilage, and limited-portion jo-gatsu pork stomach. Whether seasoned with a crisp, balanced tare glaze or simply with salt to highlight the meat's intrinsic flavor, diners can choose cuts to suit their taste.
From Izakaya Snacks to the House-Special Motsu Curry
A broad selection of side plates fills the space between skewers, including refreshing gatsu-pon sliced pork stomach with ponzu, kobukuro uterus sashimi, foil-baked garlic, and butter-steamed onions. A standout on the menu is the Tokusei Motsu Curry Rice alongside the otsumami version meant as a drinking snack. Loaded with chunks of tender pork offal, its warming spices and savory depth make it an inviting way to wrap up the meal.
A Relaxed Setting for Solo Drinks or Group Dinners
With a mix of counter and table seating, the shop suits solo diners dropping in for a post-work drink just as well as small groups sharing skewer platters. The drinks list includes draft beer, Kaku highballs, sours, sake, and shochu, and the option to order skewers and curry for takeout makes the restaurant an easy choice on busy evenings.
