    日帰りバス旅行で訪問しました。早く着きすぎ、羊羹を試食してから、ランチになりました。羊羹は昔ながらの淵が硬い物と、柔らかめの物などがあります。ランチはツアーですから、お味は普通。

    Saga Pref. Imarishi Shintenchou Nakai Kei 720-3
    "Located a ten-minute walk from Imari Station on the JR Chikuhi Line, this steakhouse is popular for its open-kitchen style where you can see inside the kitchen before you. They only carry local meat, with mainly select Imari beef. Their ""Tokusen Imari beef steak"" has a juicy taste that spreads within your mouth, and is a popular classic menu item with a distinctive rich flavor and full-bodied taste. Their steak set that pairs steak with soup, salad, a drink and other items is recommended. They have three different kinds of special sauces: sesame, ponzu (citrus soy sauce), and salt and pepper."

    The Chef and staff here are beyond amazing! We were a party of 7 people for my husband’s birthday. We were running late and they graciously served us even though they closed. The food was AMAZING...

    Saga Pref. Sagashi Yamatochoukuchi 2592-1
    Located approximately one minute from the Saga-Yamato Interchange on the Nagasaki Expressway, this French restaurant popular in the local area is what automatically comes to mind for French restaurants in Saga Prefecture. It has been making French dishes enjoyed by Japanese people that are not over the top for half a century, and continues to unveil their own unique taste. You can enjoy their specialty curry in courses with hors d'oeuvres, soup and dessert, and even bring it home as curry sauce. In addition to full courses, their course with small portions using seasonal ingredients is very popular.

    サービス料を取る水準では無くなりました。合理化が進んだからなのかもしれません。給料が減ったのかもしれません。理由はわかりませんが居酒屋レベルです。

    Saga Pref. Karatsushi Nakamachi 1845
    This Wagyu beef steak specialty shop won a Michelin star in the Michelin Guide Fukuoka & Saga 2014 – Special Edition. It serves grilled ingredients unique to Saga. The restaurant prides itself on its use of A5 rank Saga and Imari Wagyu beef. The second-generation owner of the restaurant uses his discerning eye, trained in a butcher’s shop to select ingredients, and the high-quality meat, which is then aged for two weeks, is tender and has a deep flavor. Sitting at a counter seat, customers can enjoy conversing with the chef while watching their meal be flambéed (flaming brandy over food) in front of them. The nearest station is Karatsu Station.

    This is a fabulous restaurant, for both food and service. The chef was delightful and charming. He put on such a wonderful performance and was so charismatic. The steak was also amazing. I was very...

    佐賀ラーメン初体験。地元で人気の「とんこつ一筋!」という感じのお店でした。土曜の午後でしたが、客が途切れず駐車スペースも満杯。具材はとてもシンプル。海苔とチャーシューがデフォルト。自分はさらに生卵入りを選択。それでも650円です。とんこつが溶け出したスープはとろみがあって満足を感じました。

    宿泊者しか利用できないのかと思ってたが,宿泊者ではない方も利用できるようだ。今回は宿泊だったので,頻繁に足湯を利用した。タオルが置いてあるので,気軽に利用できる。でも,2泊3日の期間中,余り浸かっている人を見かけなかった。 もったいないなー。 立ち寄りの方も利用できることをもっとアピールしたらよいのに,と思う一方で,混み合うようになるのはちょっと嫌だなーと複雑な気持ち。 フード類が意外と充実し...

    先日8時過ぎに伺おうと思い、L.O.を電話にて確認、8時半までと言われたので急いで車を走らせ8時20分過ぎに到着すると準備中の看板が店の前に。納得が行かず、店前から電話にて連絡を取ると〝ちょっと確認して参ります…(店長に確認?)すみませんが、本日は閉店となりました。〟 正直怒りを通り越して呆れてしまいました。何度か伺ったことのある店で、コスパの良い店だと思っていましたが、二度と行きません。 お客様...

    梨の季節、名産地の伊万里を訪ねました。 そのあとにランチ。伊万里だったら“ここでしょう”と意見が一致。 13時頃に行きましたが、 相変わらず多くて15分程待ちました。 “ときそば”¥837おろし蕎麦をいただきました。 友人は“玉子丼”。 蕎麦は細く、味はまずまずでした。 日曜日だからなのか、ファミリーが多かったです。 お座敷とテーブル席と選べます。 駐車場もあります。

Saga Areas

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
