Balade

Balade, nestled in the neighborhood of Nakadori in Akita, offers a quaint setting for both lunch and dinner. While specific operating hours are not publicly available, visitors have noted enjoying lunch several times here, particularly highlighting the generous karaage plate which includes six pieces of fried chicken, salad, soup, and a drink. Customers appreciate the flexibility of choosing different sauces for their karaage, adding a bit of customization to the meal.

The establishment seems to transform into a wine bar-like venue at night, providing an opportunity to try wines at reasonable prices. Seating is limited, with only counter seating available on the first floor and table seating upstairs accessible via a somewhat steep staircase. Although visitor reviews suggest a positive dining experience, it’s important to note that the last review was left nine years ago, and further updates from the owner are not available. Given its small size, timing your visit might be wise to avoid potential wait times.
