    Oita Hayami-gun Hijimachi 2573
    At this Japanese restaurant, a five-minute walk from JR Yokoku Station, you can enjoy kaiseki course cuisine made with live seafood from the sea off Hiji at reasonable prices. The marbled sole mini set meal, only served at lunch, is particularly popular and is made with the area's rare brand name Shiroshita Karei marbled sole raised in ocean where freshwater intermixes. Unlike standard righteye flounder, Shiroshita Karei marbled sole is flavorful and free from off flavors, and its meat grows sweeter the more you chew. In addition to course meals, the restaurant also has a la carte dishes such as its own original marbled sole sushi, marbled sole nitsuke stewed in soy sauce, and sashimi. The restaurant's Hiji daggertooth pike conger course meals and set meals are also popular.

    Hiji is an old castle town under rule of the Kinoshita family, descendants of a nephew of Hideyoshi Toyotomi’s wife. A famous delicacy from this area is flounder. Flounders caught in the sea beneath...

    This Japanese restaurant is a three-minute walk from Nakatsu Station and can be reached by taking a left outside the south exit of the station; the restaurant will be immediately visible on the right-hand side. The restaurant primarily serves cuisine made with Nakatsu's famous daggertooth pike conger, and brand name Bungo beef which has even won the Prime Minister's Award. Menu selections include course meals which come with a variety of delightful and original daggertooth pike conger dishes, as well as a full array of a la carte daggertooth pike conger dishes like sashimi, teriyaki, and parboiled daggertooth pike conger which comes with three sauces. The restaurant's handmade daggertooth pike conger kamaboko steamed fish paste and daggertooth pike conger shumai steamed dumplings, available for takeout, make great souvenirs.

    料理が美味しいとかのレベルではありませんでした! スタッフの教育はしてますか? 入店して直ぐ気分を害しました、部屋の誘導〜 注文を取る際の態度〜注文間違いを謝らない こんな対応をされた経験がないので、腹が立つよりびっくりしかありませんでした はっきり言って、中津の飲食店の評判を下げる店です 老舗のお店だと思いますが、社員の教育を徹底的にしてください ※対応が、最悪な人はメガネをかけた中年の女性です...

    Oita Beppushi-shi Furomoto 5
    "This kaiseki tea ceremony cuisine restaurant is situated on the Ideyu-zaka hill road. For lunch, you can enjoy one of two differently priced staple kaiseki lunch meals, as well as a ""hell steamed"" lunch characteristic of the local Kannawa area made with vegetables steamed using the heat of a hot spring. Customers can also order ""hell steamed"" a la carte dishes. The restaurant also serves a ""hell steamed"" course meal and local kaiseki cuisine meals at night. The restaurant's steamed seafood meal and dinner kaiseki meals require an advance reservation. Customers can also enjoy a boiled tofu set meal from November to March."

    ランチに伺いました。 蒸し料理のセットを注文。 温泉卵の乗ったおそばや、エビ、とても美味しかったです。 お部屋は個室で、感染対策としては本当に良かったです。

    Oita Yufu-shi Yufuincho Kawakami 2633-1
    This restaurant is located on the grounds of the Kamenoi Besso inn on the shore of Lake Kinrin. Identifiable by its thatched roof, the restaurant is open to non-guests as well. Here you can enjoy superb cuisine crafted using seasonal vegetables, river fish, Japanese black beef, and other ingredients from Kyushu; along with a view of a scrupulously maintained garden. The restaurant offers around four to five meals at any given time. The popular lunchtime Irodori-zen meal comes with exquisitely seasoned takikomi gohan rice, a hassun tray of dishes, soup, and dessert. The charcoal broiled beefsteak donburi rice bowl is topped with Oita wagyu beef redolent with smoky charcoal flavor.

    Service was ok. Bungo beef meals were great. Location is superb in the middle of lush greenery near Kinrinko lake. Reservation needed though. Will come back next time!

    今回は仕事関係の会合で利用しました。鱧のコースをいただきましたが今一つでした。最大の原因は接客の悪さです。メインであるはずの鱧の湯引き、なんとつけダレを提供するのをこちらが指摘するまで忘れていました。飲み放題の注文も忘れたり間違ったり、揚げ物もずいぶん時間が立ったであろうものでした。大衆居酒屋であれば許せる範囲かもしれませんがちょっとお粗末なお店でした。

    地元の方の紹介で来訪。 りゅうきゅうやとり天など郷土料理を手頃な値段で楽しめる居酒屋です。 豊後水道産のアジ、サバ、カレイなども楽しめます。 (関アジ、関サバ、城下カレイの表記はないので、ブランドの要件を満たしたものではないのでしょう) 繁華街の中にあり、利用しやすい立地です。 注文の仕方がメニュー表にマーカーでラインを引っ張るという独特のものでした。

    鰻が食べたくなったら訪れます。 土日祝や丑の日は混んでいるので、早めに行くか、電話で売り切れていないか確認してから行きます。 混んでいても、いつでも変わらない味で安心します。

    鶴崎にある鰻屋さんで創業明治42年の老舗です。今回は平日のランチで利用しました。メニューはシンブルに鰻定食、うな重、うな丼の3種類でうな重3300円を頂きました。鰻はホクホクでタレもご飯と旨く絡んで美味しかったです。

    月1回のプチ贅沢をしようとオアシスホテル内の和食折鶴に出かけたところ、コロナ騒ぎの影響で休業。 その帰り道にふとぎんなんという店に入ったところ、金髪の大将と、女性店員(愛嬌のあるアミちゃん)の2名がいましと。カウンターにすわり、2000円のランチを食べたのですが、大将は話好きで会話もはずみ、食材についても一つ一つ説明があり美味しくいただきました。次回も食べにいこうと思わせる素敵な店で、ひと月の間に...

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.
