An amazing restaurant especialized in dishes made with yellowtail (buri, in Japanese), a fish widely consumed in Japan and highly regarded for its flavorful fatty meat and texture. The yellowtail served in this restaurant is freshly caught and delivered straight from Kagoshima Prefecture.

Established in 1870, this local favorite offers a wide variety of dishes, depending on the season, but you can savor their sashimi and tempura sets any time of the year. We highly recommed the Uomasa Set. Amazing quality for a reasonable price!

Famous for its tsukemen (dipping ramen), this ramen restaurant’s thick noodles and flavorful miso broth are quite addictive! Be careful not to eat too much! Though they are famous for their tsukemen, the Nikumiso Ramen is also to die for!

Incredible teppanyaki restaurant to go for wagyu beef. Tremendous quality, but still on a reasonable price range for the type of beef they offer. Budget around 15,000 yen per person.
