Let’s eat, drink, and have a great time together today!
There’s a stylish restaurant bar in Kurashiki Ichibangai that’s perfect for occasions like that.
It’s “G.O.A.T (Goat).”
Of course, it’s not just an ordinary bar.
- Enjoy darts, karaoke, and table games
- Its signature dish is fried chicken, learned at the chicken restaurant where the owner trained, and a hit even in Tokyo
- Enjoy drinks made with “extra-fizzy” soda, a rarity in Kurashiki
Above all, the reason the owner started the business and the “iki” (stylish, refined) meaning behind the name are sure to resonate with young people.
Here’s G.O.A.T, a place where young people can get caught up in the fun and lose track of time.
The information presented was current when this article was published in October 2019. Please note that it may differ from current information.
G.O.A.T is a bar where you can eat and drink while having fun
G.O.A.T makes a striking impression with its bright white exterior.
The goat-face logo also really stands out.
It’s the kind of exterior you won’t forget once you’ve seen it.
G.O.A.T’s concept is “a bar where young people can enjoy food and drinks while having fun.”
▼There are counter seats inside, but the main seating is at tables.
The seating arrangement can be changed to suit the size of your group.
G.O.A.T is located in “Kurashiki Ichibangai.”
It’s surprising to find a stylish space for young people in the gritty Ichibangai district.
Redevelopment plans are underway across the street, to the east.
A mixed-use complex is scheduled to open opposite G.O.A.T in 2021.
Enjoy darts, karaoke, and table games at G.O.A.T
At G.O.A.T, whose concept is “a bar where young people can enjoy food and drinks while having fun,” you can enjoy all kinds of games as well as drinks and food.
The games available at G.O.A.T are as follows:
- Darts
- Karaoke
- Table games (UNO, The Game of Life, Othello, and more)
▼Try the “Karaoke Challenge” for 500 yen.

▼There are plenty of table games on hand, too.
Table games are especially fun with a large group, so they’re highly recommended.
G.O.A.T’s recommendations are chicken dishes
G.O.A.T’s owner, Mr. Miyazaki, trained at a chicken restaurant in Tokyo.
That’s why chicken dishes are the specialty at G.O.A.T.
In particular, the fried chicken is the restaurant’s recommendation.
“Fried Chicken” has a crispy coating and tender, juicy meat
Many restaurants make their fried chicken with a soy sauce base, but G.O.A.T’s version is seasoned with ginger and spices.
This fried chicken was a popular item at the chicken restaurant where the owner trained, and was apparently a hit in Tokyo, too.
The coating is crisp and light.
The thigh meat is tender and juicy.
Its rich, well-seasoned flavor makes you want another drink!
The pieces are generously sized and very satisfying.
Yuzu pepper goes perfectly with the “Juicy Grilled Chicken Thigh”
The “Juicy Grilled Chicken Thigh” is chicken thigh grilled and seasoned with ponzu.
At G.O.A.T, it’s the signature dish after the fried chicken.
It goes very well with yuzu pepper.
The chicken was tender and juicy.
When you’re thinking, “Fried chicken feels a bit too heavy,” the juicy grilled chicken is a great choice.
“Chicken Skin with Ponzu” pairs the savory aroma of chicken skin with the refreshing taste of ponzu
“Chicken Skin with Ponzu” is a popular dish with customers.
It consists of fried chicken skin served over sliced onions and topped with ponzu.
The coating on the chicken skin has a satisfyingly crisp texture.
The chicken skin’s gentle sweetness goes well with the refreshing ponzu.
A dispenser serving “extra-fizzy” drinks, rare in Kurashiki
G.O.A.T offers a wide selection of drinks.
The biggest draw is its carbonated drinks, such as highballs and sours.
G.O.A.T has a dispenser (multi-dispenser) that serves “extra-fizzy” drinks.
As of 2019, G.O.A.T was one of only two places in Kurashiki City with one.
I tried an extra-fizzy highball, and the irresistible “fizz” had an incredible crispness!
I thought its defining feature was the distinct sensation of “drinking carbonation.”
When you visit G.O.A.T, be sure to try a highball or sour and experience the extra-fizzy drinks!
G.O.A.T’s menu
G.O.A.T offers a wide variety of menu items.

G.O.A.T looks like a fun place to enjoy both games and food.
