    Oita Hita-shi Wakamiyamachi 416-1
    "This restaurant invented and serves Hita yakisoba noodles. The longstanding establishment is also the flagship location of a chain of restaurants with franchises across the Kyushu region and the rest of Japan. The restaurant's previous owner is believed to have invented the word ""yakisoba."" The restaurant is most notable for making everything in-house, including not only the noodles and sauce but even the toppings. In addition to set meals, you can also order toppings like a raw egg a la carte. The restaurant also offers a full array of sides and desserts, and even sells yakisoba noodles packaged to give as a gift and in chilled packs which you can take home and enjoy at your leisure."

    The yakisoba with bean sprouts is a famous dish in Hita area. However I was not impressed though I love bean sprouts. just so-so.

    別府温泉のおみやげが揃っていると、わざわざ駐車料金まで払って買いに行った。880円で買った商品が道の駅で650円で売っていた。約35%高であった。こんなにも高く売るのは消費者として納得し難い。二度と行かない。

    最初のタイトル“銘柄焼酎が安い店”はもう撤回せざるを得ない。ラインアップは大衆レベル中心で、味も値段もそれなりだ。高級物は品揃えが少なく少々高い。なぜ行き続けるのかというと、料理メニューが好みに合っており美味しいからだ。なのでお酒類は普通のを少なめに注文する。これからも時々は覗いてメニューの変化を楽しみたい。

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
