Yamanashi is famous for its wine, but I’m not sure which restaurants are best to visit…



This article will solve that problem.
Hello!
This time, I’ll introduce six restaurants near Kofu Station where you can enjoy great wine.
I’ve also written another article introducing perfect spots for a romantic adult date—check it out!
Ore no Bar
A 4-minute walk from Kofu Station’s south exit.
It’s right along the main street, so it’s easy to find.



The lighting inside is dim and gives off a cozy, romantic vibe.
But it’s not only for dates—many people come here after work too, and the place is always lively.
The stylish atmosphere makes it a great place to visit with someone special!
They serve both local Yamanashi wines and international selections, so there’s plenty of variety.
Most dishes are light snacks that pair well with wine,
so if you’re coming with a large group or on an empty stomach for your first stop of the night, I personally wouldn’t recommend it.
Perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a second or third stop of the night.
Wine Izakaya Budoya
About a 6-minute walk from Kofu Station. A hidden gem where you can enjoy local Yamanashi wines.
It’s located on the second floor, and the interior is larger than expected—great for groups too.
The best part about this place is that you can enjoy delicious food and wine at reasonable prices.



The food menu is so varied that I always have a hard time choosing!
They offer two types each of red and white wines by the glass, and you can really feel their love for Yamanashi wines, with some from contracted wineries.
I’ve listed a few wines I especially enjoyed here—check them out if you’re curious.
The couple running the place are quick and friendly with service.
Here’s the official website for the shop downstairs:

It’s a retro and quiet spot—perfect if you want to drink in a calm atmosphere without the crowds.
Bistro MARLU
About a 9-minute walk from Kofu Station. This restaurant is near the Okajima Department Store.
It’s on the second floor—if you miss the sign on the sidewalk, it’s easy to walk right past, so be careful!
The interior is bright and stylish, with books displayed along the walls.
You can even enjoy reading while sipping your wine.
They serve a great mix of natural wines from overseas and local Yamanashi wines, with about a dozen varieties available.
They even have a wine map showing grape varieties and regions, so you can learn visually while choosing your wine.



The desserts are also highly recommended.
By the way, during the day they run “MARLU SOUP,” a soup café with a small play area for children—very family-friendly!

OASIS
This restaurant is located about an 11-minute walk from Kofu Station, inside the Kofu Gourmet Alley.
It’s a small, cozy spot with just a few counter seats and two tables, always buzzing with customers.
The best thing here is the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
It’s casual and easy to enter, yet still stylish and comfortable.



It’s the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.
The owner is friendly and easy to talk to.
They have a great selection of local Yamanashi wines, making it a great stop for travelers too.
Here’s one Yamanashi wine I especially enjoyed here:
It’s a popular spot, so reservations are recommended—but the good news is they’re open late.
Wine Shokudo BETTEI
About a 14-minute walk from Kofu Station.
It’s on the first floor of a building along Kasuga Avenue.
The small restaurant has just a few counter seats and one table, run entirely by the owner.
They specialize in Yamanashi wines and also serve small plates that pair well with drinks.
The owner even hosts cooking classes, so you can enjoy chatting at the counter while tasting creative dishes.
Here’s one wine I especially liked from this place:
Marusan Winery “Koshu Hyaku” (Hyaku)
