【Access】Just a 5-minute drive from Beppu Interchange, making it convenient for car users. There is parking available for 2 cars right in front of the restaurant. If you take a taxi, it’s about a 20-30 minute ride from the station.【Overview】The restaurant features an 8-seat counter and offers a mobile phone charging rental service (laughs). There are power outlets under the tables, which is quite convenient.The experience begins with a greeting from the owner, an introduction of the rare apprentice, and a showcase of the carefully selected fresh ingredients of the day.The restaurant primarily focuses on Oita, selecting wonderful ingredients from Kyushu.The wild vegetables harvested by the apprentice and the fresh water they bring are also appealing.It’s a pleasure to see the apprentice skillfully preparing dishes under the owner’s full trust.The owner carefully conveys the thoughts behind the ingredients and dishes.The style of serving dishes right in front of you is the opposite of letting them sit; it’s all about freshness in Japanese cuisine.In short, this place can be described as genuinely sincere.【Cuisine】I chose the Japanese sake pairing course, where each dish is paired with a selected sake.The meal starts with freshly roasted soba tea prepared by the owner.Carrot medley.Steamed rice with wild vegetables.A clear soup with clams and bamboo shoots, and kudzu tofu.Blanched live octopus prepared right in front of you.Sashimi of stone bream.Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) with saw crab.The appetizer platter expresses a continuous world of flavors.First, three varieties:Wild vegetables, simmered octopus, and a smooth puree of cabbage with beans.Freshly fried vegetable tempura.The belly of the stone bream.Next, grilled Ise lobster, paired with delicious sea urchin from Saiki.Deep-fried tiger fish.A hot pot with wild vegetables and a lovely touch of naturally harvested flower pepper.Colorful and aromatic fried sweetfish with butterbur in clay pot rice.Handmade 2:8 soba by the chef.Yomogi (mugwort) sweet dumplings.The meal concludes with matcha.It was a wonderful progression of dishes.The course meal is JPY 31,000.Japanese sake pairing course is an additional JPY 6,600.【Recommendation】Perfect for important gatherings and for those who love Japanese cuisine.A great main event for a trip to Oita, where you can fully enjoy Oita's gourmet offerings.For sake enthusiasts, the pairing course is also well-rounded.For those who love wild vegetables and game, this place really resonated with me!It’s a wonderful restaurant I’d like to visit several times a year or with each season.
