Kofu Gourmet Yokocho is a alley in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture where you can enjoy the rich food of Yamanashi.
Kofu Gourmet Yokocho is located in Chuo 1-chome, an entertainment district that prospered as the center of Kofu city during the Showa era and attracted many people. He opened the restaurant in 2015 after renovating the Yoshino Building, which was built in 1966.
It takes about 12 minutes on foot from Kofu Station, but since it is located in the center of Kofu city, you can get there in no time if you take a walk. It’s not that bad if you’re drinking in front of the station and then move to Kofu Gourmet Yokocho.

When you scan the QR code with your smartphone, a menu like the one below will be displayed and you can place your order.

I’m glad that I don’t have to worry about which store to go to.
