This restaurant in Beppu, Oita is a gem. After transferring buses and climbing the mountain, I felt a bit tired, but the quality of the ingredients and the warmth of the owner and staff completely lifted my spirits, allowing me to have a wonderful time.My partner happened to discover this place, and I think it’s fantastic to come all the way to Oita to enjoy delicious local produce in such a lovely setting.The restaurant has only 8 counter seats. While some of the other diners were from Kyushu, there were also many visitors from Kansai and Tokyo.The dish that impressed me the most was the one that utilized every part of the carrot, including the skin and paste, along with the mixed rice. I was truly moved by how well they highlighted the ingredients and created such natural flavors.Additionally, the sake pairing was under JPY 10,000, which tempted me to order it, but be careful as I ended up quite tipsy since I enjoyed sake with almost every meal! ▼ Here’s what we had:● Carrot Old-fashioned vegetables, grilled carrots, steamed paste, and carrot leaf oil.● Wild mountain vegetables Natural yam, pesticide-free, steamed glutinous rice.● Clam soup Bamboo shoot starch and natural sansho pepper.● Octopus Kombu dashi and ume jelly.● Grouper sashimi Salt vinegar and wasabi.● Sawara fish and crab Crab roe under the crab.● Badger From Kuju, Oita.● Hassun Octopus simmered with seasonal vegetables: fava beans, old-fashioned vegetables from Oita, snow peas, spring cabbage puree, and wild mountain vegetables.● Mixed rice A dish featuring plenty of wakasagi (sweetfish) and seaweed.● 2:8 soba noodles.● Matcha.
