About this restaurant

  • Fancy
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
Thank you for visiting Kenichi Izakaya Carbondale. An Izakaya is a type of informal Japanese pub. At sake breweries during the late 18th century, people in Japan began using sake kegs as stools, and snacks were served. This small plate menu was designed to encourage sharing amongst friends and family. Food is prepared in multiple kitchens and arrives as it is ready to ensure freshness. We make most of our menu in-house, from scratch, and use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.


If no reservations are available, please note that we do have walk in apcae at our bar and sushi bar. We hope to see you!

    Food, service, everything was just so amazing. Our server Forrest was so knowledgeable about saki and helped us pick some unique options. We dined in on Friday night and periodically over the weekend my partner and I would randomly turn to each other and say, "Remember how delicious Izakaya was?" We miss those fresh flavors already. Highly recommend the lobster bao buns and seared salmon. We can't wait to come back for another date night!
