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!

    Great atmosphere and the food is exceptional and they have some unique offerings. Service is helpful, attentive, but not intrusive. We had a high top table by the bar but it was a very reasonable noise level and had plenty of space. If you like Japanese cuisine, This is a must visit when in Carbondale. Great for Gluten Free needs as well with a separate menu that is almost as large as the regular menu
