Dave and I made a quick trip to Kamakura on Sunday night for dinner. I’ve had the bar/ restaurant, Barchie’s, on my list of places to take Dave for a few weeks now. 


Despite the information on Google, they close after lunch at 1500 and reopen at 1700 for dinner. The service at the restaurant was excellent! For example, when we arrived, the server brought the beer list to our table! 


We started with a Heartland Lager (always on tap) and a Coedobeer Session IPA. I love seeing an American pour! 


We ordered an appetizer of garlic edamame. They were really delicious! 


For dinner, I ordered the seared tuna and avocado rice bowl. Very good tasting and a larger portion than normal. 


And Dave ordered the herb sausage platter with salad, grilled vegetables, and rice. 


We will definitely return and perhaps modify our orders. The portions were large and we could have easily shared the rice and salad in my bowl. There is always a learning curve in ordering food in Japan.

We tried two new restaurants this weekend and both made it to our favorites list. We classified this as a successful foodie / craft beer weekend for the Dwyer’s in Japan! Kanpie!
