I had a memorable meal in Beppu. This restaurant offers a chance to savor local ingredients from Oita, making it a meal that will stay in my memory during my travels. The highlights were the Oita badger, spiny lobster, and new onions. The badger is a rare ingredient that is not commonly encountered, yet it was prepared in a way that minimized any strong gamey flavor while enhancing its umami. It had a rustic charm but was easy to eat, showcasing careful preparation and cooking techniques. The spiny lobster was remarkable for its sweetness and texture, allowing the quality of the ingredient to shine through. It felt luxurious without being overly heavy, making it enjoyable until the very last bite. The new onions were particularly impressive, with a rich sweetness and refreshing juiciness, making them stand out as a star ingredient. I believe that the simplicity of the ingredients allows the care in cooking to shine, and this dish truly exemplified that. Overall, the restaurant gives the impression of valuing local ingredients and meticulously finishing each dish. I think it’s the perfect place for a slightly special meal in Beppu. It was a great meal!
