    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Shimotsuitanoura 2-8-39
    A three-minute drive from the Kojima Interchange on the Seto Chuo Expressway. This restaurant specializing in sushi and other traditional Japanese cuisine is located near the Shimotsui Fishing Port. The fresh caught seasonal seafood is brought in twice daily from Shimotsui Fishing Port, in the morning and in the afternoon, ensuring that you can always enjoy the freshest seafood. They boast cuisine made with Shimotsui's specialty octopus and we recommend their TakoTako (Octopus) Meal allowing you to enjoy octopus prepared in a variety of ways. Also popular is their specialty Octopus Rice, made with fine cut octopus and lightly seasoned wild plants cooked together, and their Fukusen Meal made with seasonal ingredients.

    A coffee and bean roasting specialty shopped founded in 1971 standing in the center of the Bikan Historical Quarter. The shop’s popular coffee is made from carefully selected beans which are further sorted in the shop, then carefully roasted and nel drip brewed. In addition to menu standards such as Kilimanjaro, customers can also enjoy daily and seasonal coffees. The shop also sells beans for home use.

    I think this is the world’s most original coffee. Not cheap but their interpretation of a cappuccino delicious. Lovely in the garden out back.

    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Achi 2-19-30
    "This local restaurant is located approximately a seven-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station. You can taste delicious, special seafood dishes using freshly caught seafood delivered daily from Shimotsui Fishing Port. An especially recommended item is the ""Omakase Kaiseki"" course that you can enjoy seasonal tastes of Setouchi from sashimi to simmered dishes and desserts using the Okayama specialty ""Mamakari"" (Japanese scaled sardine). Their ""Mamakari Teishoku"" and ""Hamayoshi Teishoku"", lunch menu items that let you taste Okayama seafood, are also popular."

    予約対応有りで、魚介料理は絶品。特にオコゼ刺身の薄造り、肝•皮、唐揚げ、あます事なく堪能しました。 地酒も良く、特に伊佐見の芋焼酎は最高です。 定番の酒類は良心的価格だと思います。 3人だったのですが、料理も良く予算オーバー気味でしたがクレジット決済可能ですので問題ありません。 倉敷市に立ち寄る事があれば、また行きたいと思います。

    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Honmachi 3-11
    A café operated out of a remodeled old private home with lattice doors, a tiled roof, and white walls located in Hommachi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. Inside, the café retains much of the original old interior style, giving it a soothing and quiet atmosphere. A tatami mat seating area is situated just past the earthen floor of the entrance; in the inner part of a café, customers can view the elegant inner garden. The restaurant’s seasonal fruit parfaits are particularly popular—strawberry in spring, peach in summer, Japanese chestnut in fall, and more. The spicy, flavorful Miyake curry and homemade cakes are also well-reviewed.

    It was late afternoon on a cold December day and we longed for a warm place to stop for some hot tea and cake. But most cafes had already closed or featured big plastic ice cream cones outside. So we...

    Kurashiki Takadaya conscientiously grills each and every skewer of chicken over a charcoal flame, and has a big menu, from single items to whole courses. Winter-only items like “gyutan shabu-shabu”, “motsuni”, and “kawameshi” -grilled chicken skin over rice in a bowl-are popular and highly praised choices. All-you-can-drink courses are also available-perfect for any party. Approximately 15 minutes on foot from JR Kurashiki Station.

    This place absolutely sucked for three reasons. 1) The food was average at best for yakitori, especially by Japanese standards. Ive had much better even outside of Japan. 2) They say that if you...

  • French restaurant Premier
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Chuou 1-5-13
    An acclaimed French restaurant, where fresh local vegetables and seafood from Seto Inland Sea are used to create French cuisine at a reasonable price. The stylish and refined interior is another cause of its popularity. It’s perfect for after-parties and end-of-year parties, but the counter seats make it easy for anyone to drop in on their own. Lunch offers the best value, and course A with its seven dishes is recommended. Approximately 15 minutes on foot from JR Kurashiki Station.

    Founded in 1977, Miyaketei is a popular restaurant with authentic, homemade Western dishes. The cuisine is uniformly superb, carefully made with select ingredients including fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, vegetables from Okayama Prefecture, and wagyu beef from Hiroshima Prefecture. Their most popular dish is beef tongue stew, made with beef from Ibara in Okayama Prefecture. At Miyaketei Bistro you can enjoy a leisurely meal in its homey and relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from JR Kurashiki Station.

    The meal was extremely scrumptious. The restaurant was a mix of a Western style dining room and a traditional Japanese style room. However, despite the delectable food, the service put me off. The...

  • Yurin-an

    Okayama Pref. Kurashikishi Honmachi 2-15
    Yurin-an is a cafe in a traditional Japanese house built 100 years ago. Features like our single-board table help preserve the old-fashioned atmosphere, and their highly popular “power sweets” are rumored to bring happiness. Since there’s the chance of a queue from opening on weekends and public holidays, arriving early is a good idea. Their “Shiawase Pudding” will make you smile, and their miracle inducing “Miracle Panna Cotta” is also popular. Yurin-an is approximately 15 minutes on foot from JR Kurashiki Station.

Okayama Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
