Summer Jazz Festa! July 31st

The streets, live houses and bars of Kochi will once again be filled with the sounds of two stepping drum rhythms, twanging bass, sweltering sax and a little honky-tonk, too.  Somehow the humidity of late July is the perfect setting for Kochi’s finest jazz musicians, and a few superstars from out of town.

So, for those of you who don’t know, here is the dealio.  Buy an access all areas pass from any Tsutaya (DVD rental and bookshop) in town for 2,500 yen.  This will get you one free drink and entry into all the venues for the night.  It is well worth the price!

Date: July 31st (Sunday)
Time: 18:00 – 22:00

Rinrin Suzu No Ya: Strange name, Great Izakaya

With so many Izakayas to choose from, and the knowledge that the menu is going to be handwritten and indecipherable, it is often tempting not to bother and just pop to Hirome again.  Hirome is great, but sometimes you might want something a little more laid back and without the risk of being approached by a deeply emotional sake-addled onchan.  Well, here is one very rewarding option: Rinrin Suzu no ya.  It has a strange name, and it is in the Kochibeat’s favorite area of Kochi, Harimaya-cho!

It is a very new izakaya, just a few months old, so everything is very simple, stylish, clean and fresh.  The food is excellent, and one of the waitresses speaks English.  She will be more than happy to help you make your way through the menu.  All the fresh fish I tried was wonderful.  The katsuo tataki in particular was heavenly (and straw roasted in front of me!)

The name is an amalgam of the owner’s two daughter’s names but it also means the soothing sound of a small bell ringing.  And that is a good way to sum up this little eatery; a fine, gentle pleasure!
