    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Ohamamachi 6-3
    In this sushi restaurant, located a 10-minute drive from Amakusa Airport, you can dine on fresh Amakusa seafood, including omakase chef's choice nigiri sushi and course meals made with seafood from the naturally abundant Amakusa Sea. The restaurant is replete with counter and private room seating and can accommodate formal marriage interviews, meetings, Buddhist memorial services, and a variety of other events. Particularly recommended is the restaurant's pink sea urchin from Reihoku in Amakusa, said to be the most delicious in the world. Fresh and rich in flavor, adding just a touch of salt is guaranteed to further increase its delicious taste to a surprising degree.

    Excellent! This is one of the best Sushi I have eaten in my life. Usually a reservation is a must, but luckily I could get a seat without reservation. Lunch sets are not cheap, but absolutely worth...

    Kumamoto Pref. Amakusashi Kawauramachimatomi Umegawa Hara 1630-4
    The “Sunset Line” (National Route 389), which runs through Kawaura Town in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, is a well-known driving route, and this champon (noodles with seafood and vegetables) restaurant can be found alongside it. It uses soup made from a chicken bone and fish base as opposed to pork bones, giving it a soy sauce-like flavor distinct from typical champon. The light taste and seafood aroma will make you feel like you’re eating a homecooked meal. It comes with a generous helping of chewy, straight noodles and toppings that complement the soup perfectly.

    出汁の酒類が二種類(魚の燻製or鶏)から選べ、珍しい前者を選択し、大正解。半分程度食べ、かぼす?による味変も美味しかった。炒飯も美味。また、食べたいと思えるお店。 店主がユニークで笑わせてくれる人柄でかつなぜか鳶を呼べる。 支払い後の謎のじゃんけんあり。

    天草観光後、天草で聞いて立ち寄った。 定休日は決まっていないようだが、訪問日では店前に「しばらくの間、火水木休み」と、今日は金曜日ラッキー! 基本テーブル席のみ、メニューを見ると天ぷら・天丼・焼き海老・刺身・フライと料理は何でもあれ!という状態であった。 好きな物を注文できる。 折角なので、海老会席+エビフライ付きを注文。各単品の海老料理にご飯、味噌汁、新香それにデザート?としてわらび餅がついてい...

    This famous yakiniku barbecue house offers carefully selected, reasonably priced Japanese black beef from their own ranch. Their popular all-you-can-eat menu lets you dine on the tender marbled beef to your heart's content. People even come from far away to eat there, to the point that they sometimes have a line waiting for them to open.

    Kumamoto Pref. Kamiamakusashi Matsushimamachiaitsu 6003-1
    This seafood restaurant is located in Kami-Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture, in a wonderful spot looking out onto the Amakusa sea and the nearby islands. The restaurant uses fresh seafood from the nearby sea to serve various dishes, such as sashimi, rice bowls and Gozen meals. The beautifully transparent meat of the fresh squid sashimi, taken directly from the tank, is one of the restaurant’s best dishes. The seafood rice bowl with a luxurious amount of seafood piled on is the most popular item on the rice bowl menu. Customers can enjoy their meals while looking out at a spectacular view of nature from their slightly raised seats by the large windows.

    天草に来たからには海鮮(特にタコ)を食べたいと思ったが、夜の時間帯も営業している店舗が意外に少ない。 こちらは地魚メインではありませんが、ファミレスのようなカジュアルな海鮮レストランです。 タコまぶし丼にするか海鮮丼にするか迷ったのでミニ丼2セットにして正解でした。タコまぶし丼だけだと美味しいが単調で飽きるかもしれません。

    This is an old live fish and shellfish shop located in Matsushima Town, Kamiamakusa City. As the name suggests, inside the shop is a huge tank with carefully selected fresh seafood which go into its fresh seafood cuisine. In its most popular special sea urchin rice bowl, the bowl is so full of seasonal urchin such as kaze urchin, murasaki urchin and bafun urchin that one cannot see the rice beneath. One bite from this luxurious bowl and the urchin’s refined sweetness, umami flavor and scent of the beach spread across the palette.

    色々迷ったがウニと刺身のセットにした。2300円ぐらい。新鮮なうに、刺身が食べられる。満足するが、刺身が薄かったような?丼か小さかったような?味は申し分ない。量が!もう少しあった方が満腹になるね。女性には丁度いいかも。

    A long-established confectionery store founded in the early Meiji period. It's located in a residential area and sells both traditional Japanese and Western sweets. Their popular Gakidaisho-dried persimmons stuffed with bean paste with egg yolk-won a gold medal at the National Confectionery Exposition. The lightly sweet bean paste enhances the persimmons' flavor. Located to the northwest of Amakusa, Reihoku Town is a region that strongly reflects the influence of Spain and Portugal brought by missionaries hundreds of years ago. With carefully selected eggs that are separated into whites and yolks by hand and then whisked, their superb sponge cake maintains the same traditional flavor it's had since their founding.

    "A candy store in front of the Sakitsu Church, also known as the ""Church of the Sea."" They manufacture and sell Sakitsu local favorites like Sugi yokan sweet bean jelly and fig jam. Sugi yokan is a traditional confection made of steamed non-glutinous rice colored red by the juice of dragon fruit. It's said that a delegation from the Ryukyu king taught the locals how to make it in gratitude for rescuing them when they were shipwrecked nearby. Made without chemical additives or flavoring, the moist and soft texture comes from placing Japanese cedar leaves on top. The specialty has been certified Amakusa Kinsei, a top-class product that has passed a stringent review process."

    崎津教会のある、世界遺産の崎津集落。集落内を散策していると、こちらのお店があります。このあたりの名物である杉ようかんが売られています。すぐに売り切れていまうので、販売されていればすぐに購入されることをおすすめします。

    "A sweet shop with a green awning located right near Sakitsu Church, also known as the ""Church of the Sea."" They sell sugi yokan sweet bean jelly, a Sakitsu local favorite. The traditional sweet with its bright red coloring is made by filling non-glutinous mochi rice cakes with homemade sweet bean paste. It is said that more than 200 years ago a delegation from the Ryukyu king taught the locals how to make it in gratitude for rescuing them when they were shipwrecked nearby. The unique texture only lasts one day because no additives are used. It's a traditional flavor you won't be able to try unless you visit Sakitsu."

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
