    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.

    旅行の途中でネット検索して口コミの良いこちらのお店を見つけました。 よくぞこんな場所に古民家を移築改良したなと思いました。 花てぼ弁当と弁当プラス地鶏焼きの2つを注文。 花てぼ弁当だけでお腹いっぱいでした。 焼いて出してもらった地鶏焼きは2人でシェアしましたが量も多いのと味が濃く少し後悔。。 花てぼ弁当のお味はしっかりめ。ご飯、お味噌汁、茶碗蒸し付き。 20種類ぐらいのお料理が少しずつ盛られてお...

    精進料理が好きなので、数多くの場所で頂いております。これまでの飲食店や寺院での献立や品数などは、だいたいが平均化しています。立地場所によっては温泉地や都心であるが故に、プレミア価格の割に内容が伴わず、稀に手抜きにしか見えない献立で呆れることもあります。 この大分県臼杵市の武家屋敷が残る街並みにある星月庵では、創意工夫が献立の随所に見受けられ、見た目も美しく、調理に非常に手間暇が掛かっています。さ...

    旅館の入口みたいで見つけにくいお店です。一階に入口があって二階がお店です。串焼きやさんなだけあってメニューは割と若者向き。でもどれも及第点のおいしさです。お客さんが入れる数が少なめな気がするので予約がおすすめです。何回か満席で入れなかったことがあります。

Oita Areas

around-area-map

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.
