Happy Hour Specials
About
If you've been meaning to try yakitori but keep putting it off, Fukumoto's happy hour makes the decision easy. Monday through Thursday from 5 to 6:30, sake, beer, and wine by the glass all drop $2, and the kitchen puts out featured pricing on Japanese snacks, yakitori skewers, and nigiri flights.
The skewers are the main draw. Chicken thigh, pork belly, seasonal vegetables, all cooked over charcoal with real technique behind them. Pair a few with a cold sake at happy hour prices and you're eating extremely well in East Austin for about $25.
Fukumoto happy hour sits in a tight 90-minute window, which keeps it from feeling like an afterthought. The space is small and intentional, more izakaya than full restaurant. You sit at the bar, watch the grill, and eat what comes off it. Simple premise, good execution. The neighborhood has plenty of options, but not many where you can explore Japanese small plates this affordably.
