The 50 best Asian food in Kagoshima

English menu, cash payment only. We waited ~30minutes at lunchtime to get a counter seat. The chef personally came out and explaines how to eat the meal. The meat was super juicy and tender, a really filling meal. Great service also!

A must visit place for one of the most amazing tonkatsu. When we visited, there were a lot of locals eating there. It is truly a well loved tonkatsu store among locals. We all ordered pork and shrimp teishoku set. The serving portions are gigantic but we finished them anyway. If you visit during lunch time, I think the lunch set is enough to make you feel perfectly full. The sauce is sooooooooo good and very well balanced, not too tangy not too sweet. The chef recommended us to eat it along with mustard and it is the game changer. Despite the super thick cut of the pork, it is super juicy and tender. It lives up to the reputation of the tender kurobuta. The shrimps are also as big as a person’s face.

Easily the best restaurant I've been to in Japan so far. The highest quality pork in the world, super crispy outside and juicy inside. Friendly family owns it. Not cheap but you pay for the amazing quality.

Super good restaurant . The chef has been working for long time, preparing delicious tonkatsu. This place is most when visiting Kagoshima. The portions are huge and price reasonable.

Amazing and the best Tonkatsu in Kagoshima. The meat itself is thick and juicy with crispy outer. The owner is the chef himself. The owner also personally came to serve me after identified me as a foreigner from time to time even though the restaurant is busy.

Came here at 11:40am and there was a line of around 10 people. By 12 we entered. Ordered the pork fillet katsu - 1400 yen including soup, rice and pickles. At first the owner looks like an angry owner but in fact he was very friendly and spoke English. The katsu was very juicy and of great quality, the breading was thick and crunchy which I liked a lot. Highly recommended. Now I need to go for a run to burn it off.

A truly excellent tonkatsu from a restaurant hidden in the basement of a little office building. The chef even took a moment of his time to demonstrate the best possible way to eat his epic Kagoshima pork (lots of tonkatsu sauce and mustard!). After three weeks travelling across Japan, this was a stand out meal.

This is our second visit to Japan and this is the best Tonkatsu we have tasted. So fresh and beautifully cooked. Recommend the house speciality pork cutlet with charcoal and cocca crumb - delicious! We had to wait outside for about 15mins at 7pm on a Friday night but it was worth it. Most seating was along a counter but a couple of rooms were available fro groups. Staff were attentive and friendly.

We were lucky to find 2 seats at this place, cause usually is always full, sadly we were late to try the shabu-shabu cause the place was closing soon. We took two kurobuta Katsu sets with the black breading, the pork was really tender and juicy, they offer miso or katsuo signature sauce for the Katsu. Also two different dressing for the cabbage, the soup had pork chunks and mushrooms, everything was delicious. Price are in the range of the other kurobuta serving places and the stars was kind and helpful, they have English menu.

Exactly the kind of place we hoped to find here in Kagoshima Oishi! 😋 We had been recommended to try the black pork. And it was very good. Arrived around midday without a reservation. Shown to a bench table (2 next to each other). QR code got us a menu in English, and the sauces were helpfully labelled in English too 🥰 My black pork set lunch was delicious 😋 The pork crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Homemade dipping sauce was very good, but I found the miso sauce even better ☺️ Pickles, rice bowl and miso soup all tasty. Ebisu beer (Oishi!) and a shochu tasting for drinks Great service. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Amazing food at very, very reasonable prices. The kurobuta was excellent; would highly recommend the sirloin (~¥3000) set meal. As other reviews have noted, the accompanying condiments are exceptional. Tiny gripe: the draft beers are a little small for the price. Feels a tiny bit like gouging. Which is weird, given the decent prices for everything else! If I come back to Kago, I'm coming back here.

Ordered both sesame and normal black pork katsu. This is the best pork katsu I had - crunchy on the outer, juicy on the inner. Tried all the 3 sauces and still preferred their home made sauce which brought out the taste of the pork. We also ordered a lunch time special of black pork shabu shabu to go with. It also came with 3 sauces and the japanese style sauce is surprisingly better than the sesame ponzu, or the salt sauce.

The ambience is warm and the room we sat in is decorated like an old Japanese home. We ordered the black crusted pork loin and fillet tonkatsu because of their varying amount of fat. It is a utter disappointment. The crust falls off the meat readily and before eating the meat looks not juicy like normal pork cutlets but bone dry. I don’t know why perhaps the meat is too overcooked. The service is good but a little rushed. They have to clear the table for the next customers. Nice atmosphere but the food disappoints! Service acceptable because they are busy!

Very tiny restaurant, i think they can accomodate up to 10 people. So be prepared to wait (i was quite lucky in that regard). I got the pork tonkatsu and the pork was cooked quite nicely (however it could have used a bit of seasoning). Sides to the dish were also quite tasty and so was ice cream

Don't let the wait time deter you—this sushi restaurant is nice! Even arriving early on a weekday evening (around 5:30 PM), I experienced a significant two-hour wait. While the limited waiting area seating was a bit of a challenge, and I observed many locals opting to wait in their cars, the eventual reward was worth it. The staff's kindness, especially towards foreigners, was truly exceptional. Their patience and attentiveness made the long wait more bearable. Once seated, both the chefs and waitresses were incredibly welcoming, consistently checking on my preferences and ensuring a delightful dining experience. And the sushi? fantastic! The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were simply outstanding. The quality of the ingredients and the chef's skill. But some in menu is so-so. Despite the extended wait, the overall experience I love is superb service, coupled with the delectable sushi. Just be sure to plan your visit accordingly and be prepared for a potential wait.

Everything was amazing. The food, service, the staff were hands down unmatched. I stumbled across this place because I was searching for something else. I walked in and was immediately ushered to the counter since I was alone. I grabbed sushi as it went around and asked for wasabi from the chefs. The soup was delicious, the variety of sushi was outstanding. I’ll definitely be back next year.

This is the best place to get sushi in Kagoshima. It is affordable, extremely fresh and has excellent service. Either come in early or make sure you have an hour to spare since wait times can be quite long. It’s worth the wait tho!

This "conveyer belt" chain could easily do without the conveyer belt. I was surprised by the quality and selection of seasonal fish that they offer. The cooked and fried items are delicious as well. I easily spent more than I normally would have because of the overall quality and variety of interesting dishes that they offered. They even fry your filleted fish bones and shrimp heads for you to enjoy Overall it was a great experience and one I would happily pay for again.

This review is based on Sunday May 11, 2025 Mother’s Day here in Japan and it was crazy. About an hour and 10 minute wait but very orderly. The sushi was all made fresh and excellent quality, price is very reasonable about a half with you’d pay in the US for the same sushi and not near the flavor. Check out some of my videos.

We dropped by Mawaru Sushi Mekkemon Dolphin Port during our time in Kagoshima—and it quickly became one of our favorite sushi stops! What made it great: • The sushi was incredibly fresh with a wide variety, from seared salmon and tuna to sweet shrimp and scallops. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. • The two-tier conveyor system was fun and efficient—sushi ran on the top belt, and sauces and cups on the lower belt. • The place was lively and welcoming, with cheerful greetings from the staff and a buzzing vibe that added to the experience. • The prices were very reasonable considering the quality. It felt like having top-tier sushi without the hefty price tag. We also noticed that it’s popular with both locals and tourists. Expect a bit of a wait during dinner time, but it’s well worth it. Pro tip: Go early around opening hours to beat the crowd. The heart-shaped tamagoyaki and seared mayo salmon were standout dishes. Don’t forget to try both the sweet and salty soy sauces too. If you’re visiting Kagoshima and looking for a fun and tasty sushi experience, Mekkemon at Dolphin Port is a must.

My first time come to this retaurant ! there's lots of people here, food is delicious and very good service. luv it <3 I recommended

It's a very busy famous restaurant, so we walked in to make reservation 2 days before we had the lunch. It was impressive the manager still remembered my name when we just arrived at restaurant 2 days later. The pork belly shabu shabu is the best choice in the town. Lady serving our table is very kind and professional. However, only 1 hour was allowed for customer for lunch, it may be a little bit rush for having shabu shabu. Despite that, it was an excellent lunch to taste the black pork at Kagoshima.

The establishment truly excels in providing a wonderful experience. The high quality is evident in every detail. The service provided is truly exceptional and contributes to a pleasant atmosphere. The private rooms offer a touch of elegance and exclusivity. A particular dish, featuring pork, was truly outstanding and deserves special recognition. The entire experience was delightful from start to finish. A return visit would certainly be a pleasure. It's a place worth recommending to others seeking a remarkable dining experience.

Very nice kurobuta cutlet. I had layer pork cutlet with cheese. The bottle sauce is lighter side and vinegary. Vege sides quite something.

You can enjoy freshly fried tonkatsu. This restaurant is featured in cartoons and magazines, and has a long line of customers.

Kagoshima is well known for its kurobuta. This restaurant does tonkatsu for lunch and Shabu Shabu for dinner using this special pork. We ordered special kurobuta and lunch special tonkatsu sets. Although the kurobuta was supposed to be far superior for me it was tasty but a little too much fatty bits came with my cut. Also the breading was over cooked a bit. It was burnt in my opinion. So the kurobuta experience was not as good as the ones I had in the past. Actually the lunch special tonkatsu set was only 1000 Yen and it tasted really good. I think I would suggest that ordering the lunch special was delicious enough and very cost effective. The special kurobuta set was 3000 yen and it was underperforming. I wonder how the Shabu Shabu during dinner would be…

Was recommended to Ajimori by a Kagoshima native and this place lives up to expectations. In time for lunch specials and there were many choices. The side dishes were better than most places. The offerings were different and each dish was distinctly delicious. The main course was of course the kurobuta, which we had as tonkatsu and ginger-fried. The tonkatsu was excellent. Crispy, crunchy exterior with moist juicy pork. The ginger-fried pork was also well-prepared and complemented the finely shredded slaw and rice. Excellent service. Excellent meal at a good price. Would come back to try other items and the dinner menu.

We came here to eat Kagoshima's famous black pork (Kurobuta) shabushabu. Taste and service were good.

The pork on ramen was basically 70% fat. It's not typically slices but just bits. Taste of the soup was alright but extremely greasy. The dumpling was either steamed or boiled. The texture is like wonton which no one will expect. Won't go there again

Thick broth full with flavor. Got recommended by my friend who is a Kagoshima local. A great ramen place to go to after a tiring day.

The broth is tasty but a little too salty. It is a small place with 2 tables for 4 people each, and a line of 4 single seats along the wall. They have student ramen for 490y, which can upsize for 520y, so I saw a few students there dinner time. The fried golden brown garlic bits that came with the ramen is very nice, but I didn't like the char siu shredded, as that made it seem like I got less char siu than sliced ones.

Amazing ramen! The broth was tasty and full of flavor. The egg was perfectly cooked. It’s also probably one of the best char siu I have ever tried; the pork was juicy, tender, and well-marinated. I ordered the regular serving. I regret not taking the large serving. The gyoza was okay if a bit small. Will likely return if I’m visiting the area again. Staff was also very friendly and accommodating.

A nice ramen with a light broth. The MVP is definitely the pork, and even a gentle prod with your chopsticks will break it. The soup however is fairly light for a tonkotsu broth, but did the job for two hungry travellers. We came off-peak but it would probably be fairly busy given that it's in the centre of the shopping and happening district.

Yummy ❤️

This Ramen restaurant is very near to the Kagoshima Chuo( Chuo means Central) Station. They serve value of money ramen made with Pork Bone and Fish broth. The broth is thick and aromatic, noodle is Al Dente, the roasted pork is soft and tender. This is the first meal we have in Kagoshima. It is finished with highest satisfaction but only $10 USD per head. Highly recommended for tourists.

No English menu. Staff was friendly and helpful but limited vocabulary. Ordered the highest priced course. Fresh. Tasty. Nice plating. Portion was small. Ordered another sushi set afterwards but communication breakdown. It's not put through. Kept waiting and eventually we left disappointed. It's very noisy like a market place as other diners spoke too loudly nonstop.

I came here after reading all the positive reviews but left disappointed. I ordered a sushi set of 3000 yen. As a sushi lover, I've tried a lot of sushi in my lifetime. However, the sushi here was mostly chewy and one had a chewy connective tissue and I couldn't chew or swallow it at all. I was a bit confused as to whether the fish in Kagoshima is supposed to be chewier than the usual sushi that I've tried in other regions. There were locals there who seemed like regulars so I'm not sure if a different cut of sushi was offered to us. For the price I think a sushi chain might offer better value. Others have mentioned that the sushi chef is quite friendly but maybe only towards Europeans / westerners? He requested that a European couple sign on his world map to indicate their country of origin but did not ask us. Is it because we are Asian but not Japanese? He asked me and my mother to get up from our chairs so that the European couple can sign on the map next to me at the corner seat. I'm not sure if that's really necessary. I dislike leaving such reviews that are not food related but I think people should leave honest reviews and this was just my personal experience. Your mileage may vary.

The food was amazing and the atmosphere magical. Even though most of the menu is not translated (and has no pictures), the waiters were doing their best to help. The chef was happy to have international customers and also offered some gifts! I really recommend having dinner here!

Amazing place. Most customers are local. Me and my friend went there everyone was curious where were we from. I said Australia they were amazed 😂 chef and staff were friendly sushi was amazing

My wife and I visited this place for dinner on a Thursday night. The staff were all very welcoming and the food was delicious. We had the chef's choice of sushi, chawanmushi, clam and mushroom soup, and coffee. Despite us knowing only very basic Japanese, we had a great evening. The waitress spoke some English and they also have an English menu. We would love to return again soon. A hidden gem and a step up from your average sushi bar - highly recommended.

So happy to have found this place. Deliciously worth it with exceptionally good service. About everything was great tasting - even the chawan and the miso soup!

Best sushi so far in Japan, and most intersting. Also the best miso soup!

①Restaurant Features This is a delicious seafood restaurant that has a boat and catches fish from Kinko Bay for you to eat. They have a selection of Kagoshima's famous sweet potato shochu such as Moriizou, Maou, and Murao. The prices are high for a Kagoshima restaurant. ② How to order: The seasonal menu is displayed at the beginning of the menu, which is recommended. ③ Method of payment accepts credit cards as well as cash. ◎Sashimi of mackerel The fact that mackerel, which is prone to parasites and damage such as anixis, can be served as sashimi is proof of its freshness. You can enjoy the pleasure of eating clean mackerel. ◎Jidori Chicken Sashimi A dish unique to Kagoshima. It is the most favorite dish in Kagoshima, which has its own hygiene standard to avoid food poisoning such as Campylobacter. The thickly sliced jidori chicken is chewy and tasty.

Food is ok. fresh seafood. But a bit pricey. 600yen seating fee per head

Amazing! Fresh fish from the tank 😍

(Translated by Google) This restaurant is one of the best in Kagoshima. All the dishes are carefully prepared and delicious. And reasonably priced. Maybe that's why it was a Tuesday, but it was very busy. It's a great place to entertain guests, as it seems to be frequented by local dignitaries. Personally, the first shellfish was delicious, and I was very satisfied with the grilled dishes, sashimi, and tempura. I was left thinking that was it, but the sushi at the end was just right. Do they also have a fishing boat? There were lots of photos like that. (Original) 鹿児島ではかなり美味しい部類のお店になるかと。どのお料理も丁寧で美味しい。かつリーズナブル。そのせいか？火曜日でしたが大盛況でした。地元の名士も使うようなお店とのことで接待にもいいですね。個人的には最初の貝が美味しくて、焼き物、お刺身、天ぷらと大満足でした。コレで終わり？と思わせといて最後のお寿司はちょうどよかったですね。釣船も持ってらっしゃるのか？そんなお写真がたくさんでした。

(Translated by Google) I came here hoping to eat some seasonal pacific saury. It seemed to be busy with many customers. All the dishes were delicious. I was surprised to see that the wasabi served with the sashimi was whole fresh wasabi from Shizuoka. 🫨 They also served some delicious snacks at the end. Thank you for the meal 😋 (Original) 旬の秋刀魚が食べたくて入りました。 お客様も多く混雑している様子。 料理はどれも美味しく頂きました。 刺身について来る山葵が静岡産の生山葵が丸ごと出て来てビックリ🫨 最後に美味しいおつまみも出して頂きました。 ご馳走様😋ありがとうございます

(Translated by Google) A popular sashimi restaurant. Last time I visited Kagoshima, I couldn't eat without a reservation. It's very popular, so I suggest you make a reservation in advance. We arrived at around 6 o'clock on Tuesday and luckily there were 2 seats left at the bar. The swimming mackerel sashimi is super delicious, and the chef's recommended sashimi platter is also very good. The homemade fish cakes were excellent, the shrimp cakes were just so-so, 2 slices of lotus root fried with shrimp meat in between. Sushi is also a good choice! I grind the wasabi myself! (Original) 人氣魚生店，上次遊鹿兒島無預定無得食，超好生意，建議一定要先訂枱。 今次是星期二6點多到達，幸運剩有2人吧台位。 游水鯖魚刺身超好味，廚師推介刺身拼盤也很好。 自家制魚餅出色，蝦餅就一般，2片蓮藕夾著蝦肉炸。 壽司也是好選擇！ 山葵是自己磨的！

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and visited here while traveling. The swimming mackerel was truly exquisite. Rich in fat, savory, and sweet, it was by far the tastiest mackerel I've ever eaten. I was amazed at how much difference a wild-caught mackerel can make with careful selection and preparation. The silver-ringed herring and filefish liver sashimi were also very tasty. The satsumaage was an incredible dish for the price. It's definitely something you should try. Everything was delicious, and while there were many drunk customers, it wasn't too rowdy, which was nice. The menu seems a little pricey, but the food was so delicious I thought it was reasonable. I enjoyed it so much last time that I decided to return while traveling. Everything was delicious, as expected. This time, the saury sashimi and soft roe tempura were excellent. I'm happy to be able to enjoy seasonal fish in a busy area near the station. (Original) 旅の途中に予約して訪問。 泳ぎサバは本当に絶品。脂が乗って旨味と甘味があり、今まで食べたサバでぶっちぎりの美味しさ。天然物でも、目利きと下処理でここまで変わるかと驚きました。キビナゴ、カワハギの肝造りもとても美味しい。 さつまあげは、値段からは考えられない一品。絶対食べるべきだと思います。 何を食べても美味しく、酔客多めながらもそこまで騒々しくないのは嬉しい。メニューを見ると少し高めに感じますが、食べるとその美味しさからリーズナブルだと思います。 前回とても美味しかったので、旅行を兼ね再訪。やはり何を食べても美味しい。今回は、秋刀魚の刺身と白子の天ぷらは最高でした。 駅近の繁華街で旬の魚が味わえるのが嬉しい。

Came here wtih good expectations of their black pork cutlet due to good reviews on Google and tabelog but was extremely disappointed Ordered the most expensive set meal available at JPY3,000 - Premium Black Pork Fillet Cutlet (200g) which was supposed to be the most tender and moist Food took about 10 - 15 minutes which was reasonable seeing the lunch crowd that day Tried the cutlet and the meat was very dry and harder than expected. The katsu skin was also terribly soggy on the side of the grill. Told the staff about the soggy skin and the staff replied and said "it was not supposed to be like this ie. The texture of the skin" and then we complained about the meat being dry and hard the 2nd time and the staff came back after talking to the chef with a reply via Google translate that says "the meat cooks through with residual heat" Told the staff that the meat came like this and was dry and hard from the beginning and subsequently the staff did not address the issue and left us at the table. Did not finish the cutlet in the end, left 3 out of 5 pieces (more than half of what was given to us). The best part of the entire meal is probably the raw lettuce which says alot considering they are a meat restaurant. In the end the staff said we did not have to pay for the meal but I believe it that was only after seeing how visibly upset we were over the meal. Even so, I highly do NOT recommend anyone to come visit this place for tonkatsu. Patron at your own risk. Will not be back again!

① Restaurant Review One of Kagoshima's renowned tonkatsu restaurants. Can enter without waiting around 12:30 PM on weekdays. Cash only. ② Food Review ○ Premium Black Pork Fillet Cutlet The cutlet's cross-section is a beautiful light pink. Generous portion with satisfying texture. The lean meat offers a firm bite.

I visited this place before 7pm on a weekday and almost full already. I ordered the pork chop with eggs and soup because I am not used to fried crispy food. The meat is freshly cooked and very hot. Very good taste. The price is attractively low. However the service is just average and staff is not really nice.

Come and eat try this restaurant because the blogger suggestion. Some up and down but overall worth a try. The restaurant selling point is the juicy pork and big size. The pork fillet is very juicy as you can see from the pic. As a man, I feel full after eating the whole set. My wife and I ordered 2 sets plus a bbq chicken. Both sets are cooked beautifully but the pork in eggs is a little bit salty. The bbq chicken is not good which dedicated a little bit marks. In my point of view, the chicken is not necessary to try. It is too dry and hard like eating chewing gum. The price is fair not expensive (4020yen/2 person). Worth a try if you are going to Kagoshima.

Ordered the kurobuta rosu katsu (1,900JPY for 150g). I thought it would be an ordinary-tasting katsu but boy was i wrong. The meat was pink in the middle (they will ask you if you are ok with this when you place your order) and it was so, so juicy??? It was unbelievable how tender and juicy it was. And the fat was so savoury with a natural sweetness (Kurobuta is known for its sweet fat, so I’m not sure if the normal rosu katsu would taste as good). If you’re not good with fat, get the hire katsu. If you’re a big eater, you may considering going for the jyo (200g). Ive had many “premium” tonkatsus before, but this is the first that I could taste a difference, and a stark one at that. They offered 3 sauces (on the table): tonkatsu sauce, shoyu sauce, yuzu miso sauce. There was a sign on the table that said you could ask the staff for salt, karashi, mayo etc. I recommend the shoyu sauce so you can fully taste the sweetness of the meat. The price is definitely higher than your regular run-of-the-mill to katsu, but it’s not pricey for what you are getting. Definitely worth a try if your budget allows for it. They were advertising take out for 10% off at that time. Beware though, I lined up 30min before the store opened, but I was still in the second group to be let in. So in total, it was a 1hour wait for me in total. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough. It was 100% worth the time and wait for me.

Pork is very tender. The fillet cut is lean, but soft, and the roast cut is fatty and juicy. The wait is long to get in, and still about 25 to 30 min wait once ordering

As recommended by Tabelog, the pork cutlet here is great and juicy with proper fat. It may take you some time to longer up in front of the shop, but worth waiting.

We ordered the oden and shabu sets. The shabu shabu meat was pretty good. I loved the fish and chicken sashimi side dishes as well. The oden was quite interesting. The soup was much thicker that I am used to, not sure if it is a Kyushu or Kagoshima style. But still pretty delicious. We went pretty late on a week day, I think it was past 8pm, so there wasn’t much of a queue. We just waited around 5min

The name 吾愛人 attracts us to go for a dinner. The passion of the owner is to [love your customers as you love your sweetheart]. Most staff can understand and speak little English, very friendly, attentive and warm welcome to guests. Sitting in the counter top is the best choice, I would say. The fish tempura, wakaka Shabu-shabu, signature dish of 蕯摩 (egg, tofu, 大根, 黑豚）are all delicious. English menu is available. Do make a reservation or visit after 8pm.

They have menu for single. Just half quantity, this is quite sweet. Biz is good. Atmosphere is good. Service is good. However, food isn’t. Ordered Odenx3 and Kushiyakix3 - these combined the most famous materials here - but overcooked. Price is high because they use famous pork and beef. Just wish they could make it better.

Dined at this renowned spot known for its traditional Kagoshima cuisine, and it's easy to see why it's a local favorite. A heads-up for anyone planning to visit: reservations are a must. I learned the hard way and ended up waiting for 1.5 hours, but it was absolutely worth the wait. I went for the set menu, which featured the region's celebrated chicken sashimi - a delicacy you'd be hard-pressed to find as safely prepared anywhere else. Also had the pleasure of trying kibinago sashimi, a local small fish specialty, along with pork tonkotsu and pork Shabu shabu. Kagoshima's warmer climate lends itself to perfecting poultry and pork dishes, and this meal was a testament to that. The chicken sashimi was a standout, surprisingly more reminiscent of fish in its taste and texture. It was an exceptional dining experience that justified every minute of the wait. A 5-star meal that truly showcased the best of Kagoshima's culinary offerings.

Decently priced and delicious food. Sashimi was fresh. The premium kurobuta shabu shabu was amazing. You could smell the fragrance of pork which would be usually stinky. Food was also served fast.

I just visited Kagoshima Chuo Station's shop before I tried Tenmonkan' shop. ( Chuo Station's one is good except Tenmonkan.) When we have placed an order about 10 minutes, there're no beverages for us. Two of the Japanese local who were seated next to us and ordered later than us, and they had drinks and meals first. It's quite awkward. (We ordered the same oden. ) When the food started to be served, there were no plates on the table, and we rang the bell four times but there was no staff to help. The food quality is bad which compare with Chuo Station, no matter sashimi or BBQ skewers. The chicken liver skewer is raw at middle. It's not worth if you specified to eat.

Solid, spacious, affordable, delicious izakaya. Very nice spot to go with a lot of options! The oden was so good we got 2 orders 😄

Great food with reasonably priced set meals. Do expect a more-than-usual number of tourists since the restaurant is featured in many guides. I had the black-pork tonkatsu which was very tasty - crispy on the outside but succulent within.

Ordered two different sets to share, one main with shabushabu pork and one with steak cooked on a hot iron pan. (Forgot to take photo). Besides eating the food we were also eating the culture and history and pride of the locals. Ate sakezushi the first time, really interesting.

slightly overrated in my opinion. the pork shabu shabu...., it's as good as the porks that i could buy from donki. love the stew pork and satsuma beef steak although a tab costly.

Good Japanese fine dining experience As they specially assigned a waiter (Phil) who know English well. He help to explain everything we ordering. Very service oriented but the food a bit on the steep side and not that interesting .

Decent local Satsuma meal set with food in small dishes. My husband and I ordered a 5000 yen set that includes black pork shabushabu (japanese hot pot) and a 3000 yen set. It was plenty for two and they were delicious! I especially liked the broiled pork - it melted in your mouth; and the SatsumaAge ( Satsuma fried fish cakes). All other small dishes were very good. The pictures are only a part of the meal.

It was my first meal when I arrived kagoshima for its served authentic local cuisine and its taste didn't fail us! I went there in lunch and the set meal was in a decent portion and not pricey! They have English menu and the staff was friendly. Highly recommended!

Great traditional satsuma cuisine. Very welcoming to foreigners and the have a English menu. Take your time and enjoy a full course of savory traditional cuisine. However, be prepare to be challenged on the different dishes with the tastes and the wide variety of ingredients.

Fun place to eat! I asked the lady at the counter for a recommendation; she suggested the shoyu mochi that turned out very good ! The ice green tea was refreshing.

Its fun little japanese dessert,sweet,sticky&chewy like mochi. I really enjoyed the texture, it was playful and satisfying~~

Grabbed the mochi with tea set. I found the mochi too sweet with the sauce but otherwise thought the experience was ok. Not too bad for 450 yen. If you see into sweets will probably like it more than me

It is a very good mochi. We love the taste of it.

Tried some japanese traditional dessert before looking around Senganen. Not that expensive and tasty. Ocha(green tea) was offered freely by its hospitable staff. When it rains, you can avoid the rain and take your time here.

500 yen for the experience, it served with tea!

They have great service and nice sweet potatoes.

This was such a fantastic place, offering high-quality pork and delicious food. Everyone was also incredibly friendly. My friend and I ordered two completely different meals — I had shabu-shabu and my friend had the tonkatsu set. They kindly provided a full set of condiments and utensils for both of us individually. Since I’ve forgotten most of my Japanese, there was a small mix-up where I accidentally poured a dressing meant for something else onto my salad. Even though we said it was okay, the staff insisted on replacing it with a fresh one — we really appreciated their attentiveness and kindness. The dashi broth for the hotpot was especially flavorful — light yet rich — and truly memorable. I also noticed they sell some of their sauces and products for takeaway near the entrance. My suitcase was full this time, but I’m sure I’ll be bringing some home with me next time I visit Kagoshima!

Came for dinner with reservation. Service was great and there were tons of options for anything you wanted with black pork and local cuisine. We ended up with a shabu and tonkatsu sets. It was great we had our own room to enjoy the food. We loved the broth and all the veggies.

If you're in Kagoshima, this spot is a total must-try for meat lovers! They serve the region’s famous “Roppaku Black Pork,” known for its fine texture, juicy bite, and that perfect balance of tenderness and bounce. Whether it’s their classic black pork shabu-shabu or the crispy tonkatsu, every dish lets that rich flavor shine through. And don’t even get me started on the Kagoshima Wagyu — this melt-in-your-mouth beef is one of the top Wagyu brands in Japan, from the prized Kuroge (black-haired) breed. The marbling is just right, the fat is buttery but not overwhelming. We left completely satisfied (and a little too full, oops) — 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a meaty feast in Kagoshima!

Great dining experience at Ju-an! The course meal was worthwhile for the quality of food served. Staffs were very friendly even thou we do not speak Japanese, they still try their best to explain the courses to us. Whether you order their shabu shabu, sukiyaki or katsu set, you will not regret it. Definitely recommend to anyone who visit Kagoshim, and staying near the Kagoshima Chuo Station. Only 5 minutes walk to the restaurant from the station.

Black pig is very delicious. They not only serve pre-dinner salads and pre-dinner soups, but also serve desserts after you finish eating. A shop with a Japanese style. If I have the chance to come to Kagoshima again, I will definitely come here again to taste other dishes.

Ordered a Premium Juan Course set menu with 2 extra boxes of slices meat and shared between three. The Waygu tastes delicious and fatty. English, Korean and Chinese menu are available. Lovely traditional Japanese vibes where you need to take off your shoes before you go into the restaurant. Very kind and friendly waitress. Long wait so book in advance is recommended:)

This place is famous for its Kagoshima Kurobuta pork. The sukiyaki was served with salts in different colours and different tastes! The restaurant manager was so nice that she offered us two packs of green tea souvenir when we left =)

We visited this restaurant around 7-8 PM and were seated immediately without any wait. We ordered a fried meat platter and a pork skewer platter, which turned out to be excellent choices. The fried shrimp was particularly delicious, standing out as a highlight of the meal. The pork cutlet was impressively juicy and flavorful. From the skewer platter, the pork meat skewers were aromatic and tasty, while the pork intestine skewers were also a delightful surprise. The only item that didn't quite meet our preferences was the pork liver skewer. We found the liver slices a bit too thick for our liking. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience with a variety of well-prepared meat dishes. The restaurant offered a pleasant atmosphere with no waiting time during the evening hours. It's a great spot for meat lovers looking for a diverse selection of fried and grilled options.

Very big size lunch set. 2 adults 2 kids, recommended 3 set lunch menu. Tastes very good and not pricy at all. Only cost 7000 yen

I went there alone in late July around 6pm. The staff sat me down right away and were really friendly, even though I barely speak Japanese. It wasn't a problem though. I just pointed at what I wanted on the menu. I got a set with two black pork cutlets that came out super fast. The outside was really crispy but the pork inside was so tender. It wasn't greasy at all and didn't have that gross oily taste you sometimes get. It was especially good with just salt. You could really taste how different this pork was from regular pork. The sesame grinding thing was pretty fun too, and it goes really well with the pork. The pork roll was incredible. It was tender and a little sweet, and you could really taste the natural pork flavor.

must visit place for their kurobuta meat! Kagoshima is well-known for their Kurobuta and I had to try it. I came across this place via online search and decided to make reservation. I went for lunch on weekdays at 11:30am and there was no queue, however when I left (around 1230pm) there were people waiting for tables. It is within a walkable distance from Tenmonkan area. I ordered the Kurokatsu-Tei set, which comes rice, cabbages, and soup. During lunch, rice and cabbage is refillable. If you would like more soup, there will be a small extra charge. I also recommend you to try their minced kurobuta fried. You must eat it while it’s hot. The meat is crispy outside yet very juicy inside. Overall, I had a great meal!

Ordered the loin cutlet set meal (黒豚ロースカツ定食). There was a lot of variety and sides. The pork cutlet was really delicious and the tonjiru also tasted really good. The service was also pretty fast. It took about 10 mins for 5 teishokus to come out.

To simply put it, we love pork, this place can’t be missed if you are in Kagoshima, staff were friendly, we had the deep fried version, the teppanyaki version and shabu shabu version. Honestly one of the best pork places we ever been to, can’t be happier

similar to Kurobuta, this lunch set is a good deal? And the rice so yummy, I enjoy it so much I ask for another bowl of rice. The combination set is yummy and they provide 5 different sauces to pair with. I enjoy it very much and so filling

Very good taste and value for the bigger portion ¥1,100. Free refills of rice and cabbage. Not the famous black-haired pork but still very delicious. Also serve karage and coquette. Ask for the sweet onion dressing. Very crowded during weekday lunch. Even arriving 10 min after opening 11:30 AM it was full and long queue already. Waited 15 min. Four locations around Kagoshima.

Chicken and pork cutlets were cooked perfectly. Huge mountain of cabbage. Rice and cabbage 'refills' ok 👌 Excellent - if you can get a table!!!! VERY popular.

The restaurant is popular in deep fried pork chop meal. The restaurant has all the times over - crowed by customers congested in the waiting room next to the dining hall. The customers' wish not to dine in, they can order take away when driving along their trips. Just have a short stop to pop in for 10 minutes and then go. The pork chop is very tender that gourmets never fails to try.

Best Tonkatsu I have ever had. Extremely affordable and it tastes amazing.

When I tell people how to get to my house, I use this place as a landmark. Everybody knows it, and everybody loves it. I have to be careful not to go too often, because the fried food is great. But if you're looking for a treat, I recommend this place.

Cheap price, good deep fried pork chop, delicious and good service, free parking, will go again !

(Translated by Google) "Taketei" is incredibly popular in Kagoshima ♬♡ They say it fills up as soon as it opens, and 60-minute waits are the norm (°0°)!! I made a detour from the airport and arrived just before 1 PM. Luckily, a few seats were available! ♪ ■ Premium Tonkatsu Set Meal: ¥1,400 (tax included) Includes rice, miso soup, pickles, and daikon radish kimchi. Our most popular dish. This is an extra-large version of the tonkatsu set meal. Free refills of cabbage and rice! I've learned that high-quality pork fat is sweet. I don't like the pork fat sold at supermarkets, but when I go to a high-quality pork shop, I always order loin. The meat is tender, and the batter is crispy—perfect! ♡ Kyushu sweet soy sauce with mustard. This combination is unbeatable! ★ I thought the "high-quality" part meant "premium," but it actually meant extra portion. I was surprised at how huge the portion was! The portion size was more than enough for me ( ¯▿¯ ) I later discovered that there's a special set meal on the secret menu that includes minced meat cutlet and fried chicken. And if you arrive before noon, you'll get a free minced meat cutlet! ︎︎⟡.· By the time I finished eating, the waiting room was full! Some people were even waiting in their cars.

Anyway, it is cheap! And delicious. The volume of food is also unquestionable. It was already crowded with many customers, but there were also several customers who came alone, so it is easy to go alone.

The building is cool and the staff are nice. But the food is not so good unfortunately. We got the three recommended dishes: chicken sashimi, chicken skin salad, grilled chicken thigh. Chicken salad is totally waste of a dish in my opinion as it’s just cabbage chicken skin and Nori with vinegar. The other chicken dishes had good smoky flavor but I think the chef cut the chicken incorrectly because some parts were really tender but most were super chewy which is not typical for momo yakitori or chicken sashimi. The cost performance was really good as it’s a cheap place. But if you’re here on vacation you will get better food at another option.

Usually crowded, an energetic place serving raw and cooked chicken, very good for beer

They were turning away guests at 6pm even though it was a weekday and raining. Make a reservation or arrive at 5:30 when they open. 450 yen Haiballs. Menu has English. Staff don't.

Was told it's the best grilled chicken in Kagoshima, and I agree! Cheap prices, good quality and cool staff.

We had an absolute blast at this place!!! Don't expect any English, but the staff are really friendly and we had so much fun. The food and drink was delicious.

food taste really good, don’t expect any english though. very cozy environment. nice place to have a beer too!

A good restaurant near the main road in Kagoshima, recommended for its delicious fried food. The menu also includes a complete English explanation of the dishes and ingredients.

We were there for lunch as part of a tour group. Nice small cozy restaurant that serves tonkatsu. Kagoshima is famous for kurobuta pork and that was what we had. Overall it is very tasty. Pork was very tender but also fatty. Because of that the dish came across as a little oily. I am used to having some form of dressing for the cabbage but was not provided and I didn't ask. Overall a good meal! If I were there alone in future I will want to try other dishes.

We tried the Tonkatsu Kurobuta pork and loved it. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I ordered the katsudon & kurobuta tonkatsu The sauce is nice in the don but maybe too much as it made the katsu becomes soggy Tonkatsu is nice but it's quite fatty Came here at 6pm ish, no queue at all. Really can't taste the difference between kurobuta & normal pig 😕

Even though this place was really busy, the food came out surprisingly quickly. The pork in the katsudon was hard (as if it was pre-prepared), and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Food was amazing. Those visiting the restaurant the location is in second floor next to the camera store when you enter the ginza. Entrance is hard to see.

They have an English translated menu. Friendly staff and quick service. The Ku it's pork was delicious! However, the best part was the tare sauce used. It is amazing!

The food is a bit disappointing when you spent over 30min on the queue. Fish is not as fresh as we expected (kagoshima is surrounded by sea!) . The ネギトロ軍艦 is simply tasteless and not yet fully unfrozen. a very classic ,normal menu without excitement. I would prefer saving my time for other nice food insife the station

There are no surprises here, this is your typical conveyor belt sushi restaurant. This restaurant offers the bonus of having a QR code presented to you so that you can order off an English menu on your phone. This is all counter seating with small hot water dispensers and tea powder available at your convenience. Sushi here was good, not the best I’ve had but definitely where I would go if I had a sushi craving and needed a quick bite. When it comes to sushi, while it isn’t the fanciest omakase option or the freshest experience, the sushi here absolutely meets the standard and easily sits as the place I would go if I wanted fill a sushi craving without the bells and whistles. There are specials on the wall in only Japanese that you can order at request. They are not present in the QR code online menu ordering system that is accessible on your phone.

Unbelievable quality fish, let alone for kaiten-sushi. If this place existed in Tokyo it would cost at least 3x, though I doubt you could even get some of the more exotic varieties. 地グロ？？

Great place to check some local sushi options along with the usual ones, be prepared for the long line as the restaurant located on the station, definitely recommend to try their specialties in a separate menu on the wall!

Hands down one of the best sushi train experiences l've ever had. The only one that comes close is another one in Sapporo, but that one was a 1+ hour wait, and this one we arrived at 11:30AM and did not have to wait. There was plenty of parking at the front and we had unlimited Chiran green tea refills. Overall, we had over 20 plates of nigiri, 2x miso soups and a chawanmushi for approx ¥11,000 which was extremely reasonably priced. Favorite Dishes: The aburi engawa was to die for - I've never seen such a huge portion of engawa on a piece of nigiri sushi EVER - it was so buttery it just melts immediately in your mouth. The yaki anago is another must try, yet again extremely tender and perfectly seasoned with kabayaki sauce.

Really nice place in Kagoshima station! The sushis are prepared in front of you and they are delicious! The setting is also quite nice. Do not hesitate to try if you are there!

Such an amazing experience!!! Well done and a must visit, thank you ALL

This is in lower level B1 inside Amu Plaza food court. It's a very casually sushi place with variety of nigiri, sashimi, rolls and variety plates. Mostly sushi bar with limited tables. Service is OK and waiter can communicate enough English. Ask for English menu. Not good for groups. Good for kids, and casual meetup.

Sweet sushi rice. Fresh fish and clams. Not many choices of dishes. Not the best deal but worth trying. p.s. DONT TRY SEA URCHIN. It is BITTER.

The sushi not really fresh .We arrived at 2 pm. there still some people out side and you need to write the waiting-list by yourself.

Easy to order, incredibly cheap, friendly tourist aware staff. Need Google translate for menu but can also just point 😀.

The sushi is good, the Udon is okay as the soup is not salty and the service is nice. But the menu of Japanese got more food selection than the multi-language one. Some are in Japanese without photo so you may not know what is it. But overall is okay. The price is okay not too expensive.

It is a good place for lunch especially like the refill of salad and rice. The price although is a bitter but reasonable regarding the location. Worth to try if you are looking for a quick proper lunch in the central station.

We had just arrived Kagoshima and was looking for a quick lunch. This place looked quite popular and had a lot of customers. We decided to try and really enjoyed all the dishes. Good quality and reasonable prices!

The good old taste of Unagi, you get what you ask for, delicious and fresh, the staff we lovely and they let us in without reservation.

We are a group of 7 from Taiwan and enjoyed the food so much last night. Perhaps, the best unagi meal we have ever had. Thank you.

Delicious for this town but i had eaten very awasome unagi at Kyoto. It's delicious than

Sooooooo good! Soft and tasty unagi!!!

Delicious unagi! Their secret sauce was amazing.

Excellent in every way — service, food quality, food presentation, cleanliness

delicious eels and kind service. highly recommend！

It's a quite busy place even during night time. There's a whole line up for people that came to eat with their families or friends. However if you are eating alone is pretty convenient since they have a designated place for it. The taste is pretty decent and the service is quite fast. It's a 15 minute walk from Hayato Station and right across the shop/road is McDonald's. It's within the shopping and restaurants establishments area which is convenient for those who wants to go shopping or eat at another restaurants.

Great taste. Great service Reasonable price.

Nice spot for fans of "sushis on a conveyor belt".... 😉 Well eaten, in a horse stable like table, with a neighbor not even daring to answer my greetings.... 😉 Nicely prepared sushis but no napkins nor tissues to help you dry your mouth & fingers! I also appreciated the ripe mangoo & motchis for dessert.... 😉

You don’t really get what is on the picture.

I like Kura Sushi all over Japan. Economical, good taste, comfortable, easy parking, etc. A very good restaurant for any traveler in Japan.

First Sushi store I visited when I came here in Japan. Been to other 100¥ sushi store, so far this is the best.

Standard shop for 100yen sushi, staff are good.

It was so good Definitely will go back My favorite sushi was salmon with cheese and tuna with mayonnaise. I ate a lot and the best part is that is not expensive. I paid less than 1000 yen.

Can you get better sushi? Yes. Can you get cheaper sushi? Yes. Can you get cheaper AND better sushi? I don't think so. Also you get to play a gacha game for free.

I haven’t been to a conveyor belt sushi place in ages. And this one was a huge disappointment. The tables were sticky, the tablet was sticky, even the soy sauce bottles were sticky. The sushi (if you can even call it that) is a joke. And service is nonexistent. I’m not sure if my palette has matured or that conveyor belt sushi places have really gone downhill, all I know is that this place isn’t great. On the upside, if you’re strictly looking at calorie per dollar, this place isn’t that bad!

I really like this place. Food comes quickly, they're good at getting you in, and they're good at cashing you out. Only complaint is that they no longer give you separate dishes for mixing soy sauce and wasabi, and you have to put it directly on the piece. Prior to that change, I would have said all five. Obviously you can get better sushi, but at this price under this speed, I don't think anybody could complain at all.

Ok sushi. Got a bonus game every 5 dishes. Offer English menu

My wife, son, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sushi here. Reasonable prices and good quality fish. Free and easy parking. :)

Good cost-benefit sushi with wide variety of it.

The food was very good! I know this location is famous for its shabu shabu but I went with the black pork cutlet course simply to try the variety of dishes with it. I was very pleased with the taste and the amount was perfect for me, but I typically eat smaller portions than others. I can’t say much about the atmosphere as I was seated at the counter to the right of the entrance. So I didn’t get to see the interior of the restaurant. The counter area itself was quite nice and the chef is right on the opposite side preparing the dishes. There were only a few people at the counter so it was a quiet, relaxing meal. My only issue was the service. There wasn’t a line when I arrived but I had to wait a few minutes for the staff working the register to help me because the other servers seemed to be ignoring me, even after the clerk called out for someone to seat me. Once seated, they did provide me with a QR code to the online English menu but no server came to take my order. The chef called for an assistant to take my order but he seemed very uneasy to take my order in English. So I ordered with the Japanese menu because it would have been awkward trying to use the English menu on my smartphone considering the distance to the assistant on the opposite side of the counter. I didn’t even receive a glass of water, but maybe this place doesn’t provide it without an explicit request. Various servers brought out portions of the course. The older woman was very kind but the younger staff seemed very cold, aside from the girl at the register when I paid my bill. I may have just come at a bad time. The staff did seem flustered when I arrived so maybe there was some incident just before I arrived. I don’t know the reason behind the attitude but it made me feel unwelcome. In any case, the food was delicious and that’s the most important part of a meal. Perhaps I caught them on an off day, but it left me feeling that it may be difficult for foreigners with no Japanese ability to eat there.

Wanted to eat black pork shabu shabu so we googled and this came up. We went at about 4.30pm so there wasn’t that many people. Staffs were friendly even though they couldn’t speak english. We weren’t exactly sure how to eat it correctly so we asked the staffs who explained it to us using body language. The meat was really soft and tender, soba soup was delicious (but salty), yuzu was great as well. Sushi bowl is just rice with mushrooms, shredded eggs. Shabu plates are all pre made as you can see in the fridge which had the rotating shelves. This place seemed popular as they had a ticket machine for lining up and there were a few groups of customers waiting when we left. Dessert was really sweet, in fact too sweet that we couldn’t eat it after the first bite. Overall a great experience.

Ordered a pork sukiyaki. The pork is a bit standard. The first entree of the wagu and fried pork chop are a bit surprising. Other dishes are a bit normal. They served the dishes quite fast.

Your waiter served me broken egg yolk with a piece of egg shell. I can crack a perfect raw egg since I was 10! Your udon noodles were over cooked and too soft that could not be picked up with chopsticks. I can make it better with a frozen noodle pack from a 7-eleven. Wife and I sat at the table for 15 min after finished eating and no one came to us. We thought the meal was done and we walked to the cashier. At the cashier we waited for 3 minutes and finally a lady showed up and wondered why we did not have the ordering check at the table. She went back to the table and trying to find the check but after a few moments she realized we have not received our desserts yet. We are not foreigners because my wife grew up in Tokyo with fluent Japanese language. It was at 920pm Sunday night, and there were only 6 customers including my wife and I in the restaurant. I think your staffs played too much and forgot about us. I am showing the receipt here to tell you we are good customers. It costed ¥10000 yen for two people’s dinner, and I want to say your staffs need to be more serious while at work!!

Great place to try the famed Kagoshima pork. Went there and got a number to wait, there were 20 people in front of us but only about a 30-40 minute wait in total. Great they have a system where you don't have to stand in line and can have a browse around the plaza whilst you wait. They had an English menu, and pork was fatty. The set menu was substantial and we also got an extra tonkatsu, probably unnecessary but we wanted to try it. We loved the fish cake, and the only call out for us is that we'd love more sauce or a soup base with the shabu shabu (as it appeared to be just water) but that means you got to actually taste the pork.

Food was okay but it’s not the place that I would like to visit over and over again, considering the price and the taste. It was not until we asked for the bill that they serve us rice. I guess the waitress has kind of forgot to serve the rice and at that time was not even busy hour.

We have lunch here and they were just ok. The deep fried pork cutlet was not as tender as others and the crust was just too thick and hard. The steamed pork was ok.

(Translated by Google) I visited him on a business trip to Kagoshima. No matter what you eat, all the ingredients are fresh, the meat is big, and the personality of the master and the atmosphere of the restaurant are truly amazing. When I went on a weekday, there happened to be an empty seat, but new customers were arriving one after another. The food was so delicious that I ended up drinking just one beer, but I was really satisfied! I will definitely go again when I go to Kagoshima! ! (Original) 鹿児島出張の際にお伺いしました。 何を食べても全ての素材が新鮮で、身も大きく、そしてマスターの人柄・お店の雰囲気が本当に最高です。 平日に行った際、たまたま席が空いていましたがその後続々と新しいお客さんが入店されてました。 料理が美味しすぎて、お酒はビール一杯で終わってしまいましたが本当に大満足です！また鹿児島に行った際は必ず行きます！！

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and went in on a Saturday evening during the rainy season. Delicious food and sweet potato shochu (Yahata) The specialty, deep-fried flying fish, was delicious, of course, and the silver-striped round herring, which is in season now, was served as sashimi, as well as milt, bones, and fins 😊 Thank you chef for a wonderful evening! (Original) 梅雨時の土曜日夕方、予約のうえ入店。 美味しい料理と芋焼酎(八幡) 名物のトビウオつけ揚げは当然美味しく、今が旬のキビナゴは刺身に加えて、白子と骨・ヒレ付まで出していただきました😊 大将、最高の夜をありがとうございます！

(Translated by Google) It's great. The atmosphere, the food. I had Yawata sake with hot water, which is said to be the best match. The sashimi and fried chicken were all delicious. The large satsumaage was about the size of a tennis ball and very fluffy. The space was relaxing, like home. I'd like to come again. (Original) 最高です。雰囲気、お料理。お酒は八幡を、1番合うと言われるお湯割りで。 お刺身、唐揚げとどれも美味しかったです。 大きいさつま揚げはテニスボールくらいの大きさでふわふわでした。 実家みたいに落ち着く空間でした。 また来たいです。

Every ingredient is fresh, and natural, every dish is handmade and well balanced in tastes. The best sashimi I've had in long time including much pricier restaurants. The fried eggplants with mochi are creative and delicious. In terms of taste and food, this is worth a Michelin star in my opinion.

(Translated by Google) The inside of the store has a Showa feel, The food was also delicious! The general says he likes Yahata when it comes to alcohol. My first visit to Kagoshima was a big hit. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 店内は昭和感、 料理もこだわり美味しかった！ お酒も大将が八幡が好きだとか 初の鹿児島1軒目で大当たりでした、 ご馳走様です。

(Translated by Google) It was a great choice for a night out in Kagoshima. Amberjack sashimi, chicken sashimi, deep-fried flying fish (Satsumaage) and three drinks (beer and two shochu on the rocks) came to just 5,200 yen... We had a wonderful time. The chef's silent dedication to his work... that alone made it possible to enjoy our drinks in peace. Reservations are a must. (Please enjoy finding the restaurant.) (Original) 憧れの鹿児島の夜に選んで大正解でした。カンパチの刺身・鳥刺・トビウオのつけ揚げ（薩摩揚げ）＋お酒３杯（ビール＋焼酎ロック２杯）で5200円ほど⋯素敵な時間を楽しめました。大将の黙々とした仕事ぶり⋯それだけで静かに酒を楽しめました。予約は絶対必要ですね。（お店の場所探しはぜひぜひ楽しんでください）

(Translated by Google) I was able to visit again this year. The food is delicious and the hospitality is great. However, I would never recommend this restaurant to people who don't have a clearly stated price or who are turned away if they don't make a reservation (although it depends on the timing). This time, several people were turned away without a reservation, but anyone who knows the restaurant's capacity and the food they serve will understand. I don't think they would turn you away just because it was your first time. The owner (manager?) is very friendly, but when he's busy he focuses on cooking, so some people may find him brusque, but when he has free time, he's friendly and will talk to you. I hope this restaurant will continue for a long time. (Original) 今年も訪問できました とにかく食事が美味しくて、ホスピタリティが良いです ただし、値段が明記されていないとか、予約していないと断られる（タイミングにも依りますが）とかいう方には決しておすすめしません 今回も予約せずに複数の方が入店を断られていましたが、お店のキャパと提供される料理を分かっている人には分かるはずです 初めてだから断るというわけでは無いと思います マスター（店長?）はとても気さくですが、忙しい時は調理に集中されるので、ぶっきらぼうに感じられる人もいるのだと思いますが、手が空いた時には気さくにお話していただけます 永く続いて欲しいお店です

The staffs were so excellent. But the food quality needs to be improved a bit Toilet not too clean.

Comes with the territory of a budget sushi restaurant. Just don’t expect the moon and you should be fine. It was average.

Ok. Food are cheap and good.

(Translated by Google) 2023.09.02 (Sat) 14:30 I came here to eat for the first time in a while, but the last time was a year and a half ago 💦😳 Google Maps is very convenient because it has visit records 👍️ Although it was Saturday, I was able to get in with plenty of time since it was past lunch time. The system has changed to one where you register at a machine and go to the seat with the number written on a piece of paper. I feel like the store staff used to guide me, so it's reasonable and good 🙆‍♀️ I don't have high expectations for the ingredients, so I'm happy just to know that it's delicious. lol The good thing about Sushiro is that it's sweets.

(Translated by Google) It was my first time here. It was a quiet time, so the food was served quickly and the yellowtail was fresh and delicious. The only thing that was a little hard was the rice. The staff were also nice. (Original) 初めての利用 空いた時間帯だったのもあり提供も早くハマチの鮮度良くて美味しかった ちょっとシャリが硬かったくらいでした。 店員さんの感じも良かったです。

(Translated by Google) I visited the restaurant around 6pm on a Saturday. I was able to get a seat with barely any wait time. Many conveyor-belt sushi restaurants these days bring your sushi to you on a flick of a belt when you order, but this restaurant follows the traditional format of waiting for sushi to arrive with the colour of the sushi designated for your seat indicated. I personally thought the sweet shrimp gunkan, fried chicken, and Hokkaido Mille Crepe Melba were delicious. Maybe the staff are too busy...but sometimes the sushi comes a little crumbled, but I think this is a great conveyor-belt sushi restaurant that's easy on the wallet. (Original) 土曜日の18:00頃来店しました。 ギリギリ待ち時間なしで席につけた感じでした。 最近の回転寿司屋さんはオーダーするとシューとベルトに乗って手元に来るお店が多いですがここは座った席指定の色の表示のあるお寿司が来るのを待つ昔からある形式です。 個人的に甘えび軍艦･唐揚げ･北海道ミルクレープメルバが美味しかったです。 店員さんが忙しすぎてか…崩れた様なお寿司が来る事もありますがお財布にやさしいありがたい回転寿司屋さんだと思います。

(Translated by Google) Kurabo's ingredients are definitely better and the food is more delicious. However, the touchscreen for ordering is old, with poor viewing angles and poor touch recognition. On a return visit, there's no food passing by on the conveyor belt, so you have to order from the menu. The tablet has been replaced with a newer model. (Original) 쿠라보다는 확실히 재료도좋고 맛있다. 그런데 주문용 터치스크린이 옛날거여서 시야각 안좋고 터치인식률이 너무 않좋다. 재방문, 레일에 지나가는 음식이없어 메뉴로 주문해야한다. 타블렛이 신형으로바뀌었다.

The staff that came to us when something turned up we hadn’t ordered literally said nothing and just stared. She was a trainee but acted brain dead. Food was small compared to other chains The worst thing is the constant ringing. There is some kind of system when people come and go so there is a massive noise. It’s worse than a pachinko parlour. Don’t even bother go to Hamazushi down the road.

Excellent service and lots of great foods to eat as a family. Recommend by me 👍👌

Delicious with affordable Shushi

Sushi with high CP value!

The store is also clean Thank you to everyone involved in the fishing industry Each red shell bonito cod tuna It was great to taste the deliciousness of seafood. “Hamada-san’s mouth building” is It was the first time I saw it and I was shocked. Things may be difficult right now, but I've been watching it on TV since I was in elementary school. I have always supported you and will continue to do so. I hope to see you next time. (Original) くら寿司に初めて入店したのですが 店内も清潔で 漁業関係者の皆様ありがとうございます それぞれの赤貝カツオタラコマグロ 海産物の美味しさが味わえて最高でした 『浜田さんのクチビル』は その時初めて見たのですが衝撃でした 今は色々大変かもしれませんが 小学生の時からテレビで見ているので これまでもこれからも応援しています 次回もよろしくお願いします

(Translated by Google) I wonder what kind of people it's popular with. If I ever have children, I wouldn't want to take them to a restaurant like this. There was food scraps on the table where we were shown to. There were also small flies flying around, and the shared wasabi had some ingredients that were clearly not wasabi mixed in. Naturally it didn't taste good. The price was cheap so we accepted it all and left the restaurant, but I won't be going back. If we're in Kagoshima, wouldn't it be much better to go to Mekkemono? ? (Original) どういう層に人気があるのだろう。 自分に子供ができたとして、こういうお店には連れて行きたくないな。 通された席には食べカスが落ちていた。コバエも飛んでいて、共用のワサビには明らかにワサビでないものも混じっていた。当然味は美味しくない。 値段が安いから全て受け入れて退店したけど、 もう行かない。鹿児島だったらめっけもんに行ったほうがずっと良くない？？

(Translated by Google) This is a major conveyor belt sushi chain located along Route 3 heading north! It's a new building and the restaurant is on the second floor, but there's an elevator so it's completely barrier-free. The restaurant is clean and bustling with customers! (Original) 3号線上り沿いに構える回転寿司大手チェーンです!!新しい建物で２階に店舗がありますが、エレベーターもあるためバリアフリーは完備だと思います。店内もキレイでお客さんも多く賑やかです!

I love it!!!

(Translated by Google) I'm heading towards Nanei to renew my daughter's license! What should I eat? So, I was worried and went to Sushiro as soon as possible! Crab fair! Oh, ramen caught my eye so I ordered it. It arrived in a slightly smaller bowl and I took one sip of the soup. Lukewarm! It's not warm! A cold crab. I ordered eel with some disappointment. It doesn't even smell like eel. Come to think of it, the staff is not very energetic. I always compare them, probably because I always use the Yoshino store. I don't feel motivated by the store. The story was dry, but I felt that the staff were also dry. I ate quite a bit and went out. (Original) 娘の免許更新につきそう為南栄方面へ！食事を何食べようか？と、悩んで手っ取り早くスシローさんへ！蟹フェアー！ おっ、ラーメンが目に飛び込んできたので注文 少し小ぶりになった器で届いてスープを1口。 ぬるい！温かくない！冷え臭いカニ。 ガッカリしながらうなぎを注文。 うなぎの香りすらしない。 そう言えばスタッフの活気もない。 いつも吉野店を利用しているせいか比べてしまう。店のやる気を感じない。 ネタも乾いているけどスタッフも乾いてる気がしました。そこそこに食べて出ました

(Translated by Google) I booked a flight on the app, arrived, and checked in. I was called at the same time. Then I was put behind about 10 other groups. Can't they just stop this system? Are they being so rude? I wasn't even a few minutes late. (Original) アプリで今から行くを予約して、到着してチェックインした。ちょうど呼ばれるのと同時でした。そしたら後回しにされた。10組くらい。そういうシステムやめてくれませんか？そんな酷いことしてる？何分も遅れたわけではありません。

(Translated by Google) I visited for the Chutoro Fair, which starts on October 1, 2025. Teacups and towels were available at the entrance, and customers were able to take them to their seats themselves. The thick-sliced ​​meat melted in their mouths, leaving a lingering aftertaste of umami and sweetness that left them completely satisfied. Other dishes included seasonal Hokkaido sanma nigiri, seared mackerel, and fatty bonito, all of which were excellent. The sardine tempura nigiri was prepared in-house, so it took a while to be served, but it was piping hot and fluffy. My only concern was that the eel tasting menu (broiled and unbroiled) was a little cold and not freshly grilled, but considering the price, I think it was satisfactory. I'm looking forward to the next fair. (Original) 2025年10月1日からの中トロフェアを目的に訪問しました。 湯呑やおしぼりは入り口入ってすぐのところでセルフで 席まで持っていくスタイルでした。 厚切りで口の中でとろけて旨味と甘みを余韻でしっかり 感じることができて大満足です。 その他、北海道産の旬のサンマ握りやサバたたき、 とろかつおとハズレなし。 きすの天ぷら握りは店内で上げているので提供まで少し 時間がかかりましたがアツアツでふわふわ。 1点だけ気になったのがうなぎの食べ比べ（蒲焼・白焼き） が少し冷たく焼きたてでの提供でなかったことですが 値段を考えれば十分かと思います。 また次のフェアを楽しみにしています。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation on my smartphone, and when I went inside, it said "We'll call you next," so I went in and it said "You're not here." My wife and I were both confused, so we showed the "We're calling you" screen to the staff and asked what happened, and they said, "Maybe there's a lag." If they were aware of the lag, couldn't they have waited 5-10 minutes? 💢 This isn't a healthy customer service business, and since they recommend using an app, it was expected that this would happen, and since they showed the screen themselves, shouldn't they have let the next customer through? Why did they let five groups go ahead before they were called? ? Does this store not even provide proper training? Taking everything into consideration, we'll file a complaint with headquarters. Please provide proper training. It's obvious they're cutting corners. (Original) スマホで予約していて、「次お呼びいたします」と出たので、店内へ行くと「ご不在のため〜」となっていました。 嫁と二人で「は？」となり、店員へ「お呼び出し中です」の画面を見せ、事情を聞くと「ラグがあるのかもですね〜」と。 「ラグがある」と認識してるなら5〜10分ほど待っても良かったのでは？💢 接客業として成り立ってませんし、アプリを推奨してる以上そうなる事は予想できるし、本人が画面を見せてる以上、次に通すべきでは？ なんで呼ばれるまでに5組も先に行かしてんの？？ この店は教育もまともに出来ない店舗なの？ 諸々加味して、本部へ‪”‬クレーム‪”‬として上げます。 教育はちゃんとしてください。 手抜きが丸わかりですよ

(Translated by Google) It may be better at this type of restaurant, but I don't eat sushi. The reason is that if you add wasabi yourself, it's not sushi! I just went for the sea salad. Sea salad is really delicious. Negitoro is also common. The pop-up photos inside this store look delicious, but in reality, you'll find something completely different. That's what I'm saying. Just imagine it and you'll understand. That's it. (Original) この手の店では、割とマシかもしれませんが、寿司は食べてません。なぜかと言うと、わさびを自分で入れる様な物は寿司じゃねーだろ！ 私はシーサラダを食べに行っただけ。シーサラダは、まー美味しいです。ネギトロもふつー。 こちらの店内のポップ写真はうまそうですが、実際には全く違う物が、出てきます。 まーそー言う事です。あとは想像したらわかりますよね。　　　以上ー。

(Translated by Google) I was shown to a seat where the panel wasn't responding. When I asked the staff, they said I couldn't move. They weren't flexible. I left the store without being able to ask for anything. (Original) パネルが反応しない席に案内された。 店員に言ったら移動は出来ないとの事。 融通効かせてくれない。何も頼めずそのまま退店しました。

(Translated by Google) Stress-free with advanced automation It tastes good (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ (Original) オートメーション化が進んでストレスフリー 味もよし(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

(Translated by Google) There is a parking lot and a toilet. Enter the store and reserve your seat using the touch panel. Sit on the seat printed on the paper. Order the items you want to eat using the touch panel in front of your seat. (Original) 駐車場あり、トイレあり。入店し、タッチパネルにて座席の予約します。打ち出された用紙の席に座ります。座席前のタッチパネルにて食べたい品を注文します。

(Translated by Google) I frequent this restaurant. This time I visited around 12:15pm on Sunday, September 10th, 2023, and there was only one other group waiting, so I was able to sit down in less than five minutes. It's a chain restaurant, so there's nothing special about it, but I'm satisfied with the consistently delicious food. They also have limited-time menus, so it's a good place to visit every once in a while. (Original) 度々、利用しております。 今回はR5/9/10(日)12:15頃に来店しましたが１組だけ待っている状態で５分もしない内に席へ座れました。 チェーン店なので何か特別な事は無いですが安定した美味しさで満足しております。 期間限定メニューなどもあるので、たまに行くには良いお店ではないでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) It's terrible here... Didn't you notice the fried chicken falling on the lane while cleaning the table? Why are the seasoning containers flowing? The way the ingredients are arranged is too sloppy.... Too many items are out of stock.... Is hygiene management okay? Are you working only part-time? Overall, I don't have a strong sense of hard work. (Original) ここは酷い... レーンに唐揚げが落ちてるのテーブル片付けしてるときに気がつかない？なんで調味料の容器が流れてくるの？ネタの盛り方雑すぎ.... 品切れ多すぎ.... 衛生管理大丈夫ですか？ アルバイトだけで回してるの？ 全体的にやっつけ仕事感がハンパないです。

(Translated by Google) The other day, my son and I went there as a family of three, but the delivery was so slow that my son gave up halfway through ordering. Even though it's close to our house, I don't think I'll ever go there again. (Original) この前親子3人で行きましたが注文しても届くのが酷く遅く息子は途中で頼むのを諦めてしまいました。家から近いのにもう2度と行きたくないと思いました。

(Translated by Google) The clerk who helped me at the checkout had a very bad attitude. When I asked my elderly mother about the take-out sushi and how to pick it up, she sighed and showed me around. I couldn't let go of my hand, so I asked my mother to pick it up, but she left feeling disgusted. (Original) 会計の所で対応してくれた店員さん、態度悪すぎ。 高齢の母が、持ち帰り用の寿司と受け取りを聞いてたら、ため息ついて案内してた。わたしの手が離せなかったので、母に受け取りを頼んだのですが、嫌な気持ちで帰りました。

(Translated by Google) There were a lot of mistakes with orders, and I was unhappy with being charged for items I didn't receive. I haven't been there in a while, but I won't be going again. The menu is mediocre. (Original) オーダーのミスが多く、受け取ってもいない商品の請求を受けるのは不本意。久しぶりに行ったが、もう行くことはない。メニューは月並み。

We had a wonderful evening!

Fabulous sushi!

Great food and great service.

(Translated by Google) It was the best food and hospitality. I left it to you to hold it. I can highly recommend it. (Original) 最高のお食事とおもてなしでした。 おまかせで握って頂きました。 すごくオススメできます。

(Translated by Google) The perilla leaves in the sashimi platter are wilting! The freshness of Kibinago is decreasing. Other than that, I think he's doing a good job. (Original) 刺身の盛合せの大葉が萎れてる！ きびなごの鮮度が落ちてる。 それ以外はいい仕事をしていると思います。

(Translated by Google) The squid and sea urchin are made with Bolivian rock salt. I eat it as is For flounder, shave the white truffle and eat it as is. The fatty tuna is also fatty and the wasabi too. Even if you apply a lot, it doesn't work, It was so delicious and melted in your mouth. Other steaks are also made from Kuroge Wagyu beef. I was told that it was so soft that it looked like it had been dipped in homemade sauce and grilled, and that it could also be eaten as sashimi. It was absolutely delicious. I would also like to try a different way to eat sushi and try other menu items 😊✨ Owner, I will go again 👋 (Original) イカと雲丹はボリビアの岩塩で、 そのままで食べるし ヒラメは白トリュフを剃って、そのままで食べる トロも脂がのって、わさびも 沢山付けても、効かなく、 凄く口の中でとろけて美味しいでした。 他　ステーキも黒毛和牛で 自家製ソースに付けて網焼きしたみたいで柔らかくて、刺身でも食べられますよ言われました。最高に美味しかったです。 また　変わった寿司の食べ方や他のメニューも食べてみたいです😊✨ 店主、また行きますね👋

(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with the calm interior and the delicious food and drinks. I didn't feel that the price was high either. There is also a very friendly general, so I highly recommend him. (Original) 落ち着きのある店内と、それに負けない美味しい食事とお酒、大満足です。 値段も高いとは感じませんでした。 人当たりの良い大将もいて、オススメですよ。

This was an elegant eatery with wooden flooring and beams, though the mood is more like casual dining. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and there is a fascinating setup displaying plates with meat near the cashier. We ordered a set of black pork shabu shabu sukiyaki, as well as some Black tonkatsu pork as the town is famous for it. The meats were of good quality, and there was also a plate of delicious sashimi. We were hungry so we also topped up with different platters of pork. Most of the platters come with a variety of sides, including miso soup and soba noodles. We also ordered a plate of grilled Kurobuta sausages, which were also delicious. This was the place where I had my crisp Canada Dry ginger ale, something which I have not been able to find for a long time. The eatery is located on the upper floor via stairs, or there is a lift if needed.

If you are a foreign tourist, please avoid this restaurant at all costs. Due to heavy rain, I arrived in Kagoshima at 3 PM and decided to dine here because of its many reviews. I’m not sure if it was because of the time (late afternoon), but the food was terrible—especially the chicken dish, which was just a plate of plain grilled chicken yet priced at ¥880. But the worst part was the service. Perhaps because they cater to many foreign tourists, they don’t care about their attitude. When we entered, the host at the door didn’t even look at us, just told us in Japanese to wait. Inside, the two servers didn’t smile at all throughout our meal. We also ordered steamed pork and fried pork cutlet. The younger female server simply brought the dishes without explaining which sauces paired with which dish or how to eat them. Only when I asked did she casually mention that both sauces were for the steamed pork—though I suspect the one with green onions was actually meant for the soba. The older server was slightly better, but when I pressed the call button for service, she saw me, and I ordered a beer. Later, another server (who handled food delivery and had a decent attitude) came by. I wanted to order another beer, but we couldn’t communicate. I said, *"I have already ordered with her,"* referring to the older server standing nearby, but even after hearing us talk about her, she didn’t come over to help. I’ve visited Japan 31 times, and this was easily in my top three worst dining experiences in the country. To emphasize again—if you’re a foreigner, stick to restaurants that primarily serve locals. That’s where you’ll truly experience Japanese hospitality and food quality. This place feels like a tourist trap meant for group tours. Absolutely terrible.

I am not a big fan of shabu shabu. However since the black pork (kura buta) is a local special dish I’ve decided to try. Absolutely amazing! 10/10! Great food, very nice and friendly staff, generous amount of dishes for a set meal course.

We got two sets of the ¥4800 course set and shared between three of us. The arrangement of the pork slices was very pretty. Pork is thinly sliced and cooks very quickly. Once done, you dip into the dashi broth with spring onions/leek and eat it. You can taste the sweetness and original flavour of Kagoshima pork. I added a little of their yuzu "paste" into my broth which makes it even more appetizing. Just order the ¥4200 course set is sufficient. I don't find the side dishes that good. The soba was thin with a good texture but I prefer soba with a stronger buckwheat taste. I wish they could be more generous with the pork slices cos they were really delicious!

As with many restaurants in Japan, you push a button when you want your server to come back to your table. I wish we adopted this format for certain type of restaurants in the US. I feel like it would be so much more efficient. We had different forms of Black Pork to include Sukiyaki, Shabu Shabu, & Grilled.

Visited this famous restaurant for dinner mainly for its Kurobuta pork shabu shabu. So we order the 2900Yen set x2 which includes the meat, soba noodle and fresh vegetables. Extra helpings can be ordered as add ons. As expected the pork slices both look and taste good. The house special plum sauce highlights the sweetness of the pork. A polite request for a refillof the SAUCE is flatly refused. Why? it is less than 5 cc. A pity which brings down my marking on SERVICE. Another must eat in Kagoshima.

Great lunch joint. Surprisingly affordable given the quality of food and service provided here. A bit confusing to find as it is on the second floor of the building. Had the pork tonkatsu with egg for two lunches and was amazing, pork was flavorful and juicy and still crispy despite being on top of egg and rice. The place was spacious and wasn't cramped like some other places, a really comfortable environment to enjoy lunch after a walk through Tenmonkan!

The black pork was nicely done. Was still juicy with every bite. Service by all was very nice. Attentively topped up dishes. Explained in detail about how each dish should be eaten. Kind and polite. Open kitchen and able to watch the chef and crew in action. Hopefully have time to be back

The texture of deep fried chicken is so soft and tastes liked the fish. Further, the pork filet is so succinct even it is deep fried. Don’t scared of the queue as it is worthy to wait and pay a visit. You will buy the coupons to redeem your set at the front door. The deep fried chicken is in the deluxe set.

I usually dont do food reviews but had to. This place is amazing and its the best tonkatsu I have ever eaten. First the chicken was so soft and tender simply amazing. The pork was so delicious including the ground version. This is michelin star quality and you get what you paid for. Ingredients are top notch. I hope michelin doesnt find this place because it will become impossible to eat here. I went right when it opened and about 10 min later the place filled up and a line started to form. Now I have a reason to come back to Kagoshima!

I went there around 6pm. There was a queue with 10 prople and more joining after I was in. I waited for 15 minutes. I ordered the top grade asdorted set meal with rice, miso soup and salad at JPY 3200. It includes chicken tenderloin, pork tenderloin, pork loin with some nice fat, Japanese whiting and a big spawn at the end. They are served one after another, not being served at once, which is good as you can enjoy them in the best serving conditions. They are punching above their weight. I highly recommend them at your visit to Kagoshima. A great family-run restaurant.

You can tell by watching the open kitchen that it's very well run and coordinated. The timer basically goes on the moment you are about to be seated and frying begins. If I were to come back, I would try one of the mixed fried sets for some variety and to better pace the meal out. The meal feels very fast paced because of how coordinated the kitchen is and in a way it feels off. Also the music was a little odd? I wasn't expecting top 100 american pop music. Overall, it was a satisfying meal and it was a tasty way to enjoy kurobuta pork.

Tasty tonkatsu. Sharing is not allowed so it is not recommended for small/light eaters. Only go when you are hungry and can eat a good portion of rice + tonkatsu. Price is decent.

I had a mixed platter (middle one). Everything was cooked so well. The pork is so juicy that it goes very well with some alcohol. All staff members were very nice. The place also looked really clean.

It's worth the wait! You can't book ahead here, it's first in best dressed via putting your name on the board at the front door together with your order. (Pro tip, if you write down your number plate, one of the workers will come and get you from your car, awesome service). The wait is usually about an hour but once you're in the food comes out quickly around 10-15mins. You won't find better value or quality of unagi in Kagoshima. Our unagi don set was 3800 yen (compare that to other places going for over 4500 yen). The serving was very generous and the meat was juicy and tender. There's a reason why this hidden gem is so popular with the locals and even #1 on tabelog and other local blog sources. A must visit if you want a great unagi (eel) experience!

Japan's number one in eel farming area. The “must-visit” restaurant in Kagoshima. Basically, reservations are required. Note that even if you make a reservation, it takes quite a long time for the eel to be cooked.

Tip - Get there before 11 and it’s good. Get there by 11:30 and you’ll have to wait an hour because of the line.

The best unagi you'll ever eat

I did not have a chance to taste it no matter I visit to there. Hope I will be lucky next time. Please everyone respect to the restaurant who make food by heart.

(Translated by Google) It was the most delicious eel I've ever eaten. I go to an eel restaurant in Kagoshima once a year, and this one is by far the best. I ended up ordering extra rice. I imagine it must be really busy on Saturdays. It's apparently closed on Sundays. I'd definitely like to go back to this restaurant when I visit Kagoshima next year. (Original) 今まで食べた鰻の中でも一番に美味しかった。 毎年1回鹿児島の鰻屋さんに行くがダントツで上手い。 ご飯を追加で頼んじゃいました。 土曜日は凄い人なんだろうと思う。 日曜は定休日だそうです。 来年、鹿児島来る時もぜひ行きたいお店です。

(Translated by Google) I arrived a little after 10am on a weekday and signed up on the waiting board in front of the restaurant. At that point, I was the first customer without a reservation. I returned just before opening time of 11am and was able to enter. By that time the restaurant was full, so I think it's best to arrive before opening time, even on a weekday, to be among the first to enter. I had the unagi bowl (3,800 yen). It's an incredible deal to be able to enjoy fluffy, high-quality eel that's been grilled raw for this price, and I think it's definitely worth making the trip here. (Original) 平日10時過ぎに来店して、店前に出ているウェイティングボードに記入しました。この時点では予約客以外としては1番目でした。 開店時間の11時前に戻り、入店することができました。その時点で満席となっていたため、一巡目で入店するには平日でも開店時間より前に着いておくのが良いと思います。 鰻丼（3,800円）をいただきました。 生なら焼かれたフワッとしたハイクオリティの鰻をこの値段でいただくことができるのは破格で、ここまで来る価値のあるお店だと思います。

Nice 100 yen sushi but quality seems declining...

Price is reasonable and the food quality is good

Cheap and affordable sushi train

(Translated by Google) It was within walking distance from where I was staying on a construction business trip, so I only used it for dinner and a drink. It's a national chain, so it's the same everywhere, so it's nice to sit alone at the counter and enjoy Shari Half sushi. (Original) 工事出張での宿泊先から徒歩圏内にあるので、夕食兼一杯のみで利用しました。 全国チェーンですので　どこでも同じで、一人でカウンターに座り　シャリハーフの寿司を肴に　ちょうど良いです。

(Translated by Google) *Tastes great and is reasonably priced. *The store is small, with only a dozen or so seats. *You have to write your own order to the sushi chef. (Original) *味道很好，價錢實惠。 *店內細小，只有十多個位。 *要自行寫單給壽司司傅。

(Translated by Google) I ordered a seafood bowl, but it still didn't arrive, even after several minutes. I couldn't wait any longer, so I called a waiter to check if my order had been accepted, and it came right away. But the rice was piping hot... Hot rice, even though it was sushi? Did they cut corners? The sushi toppings weren't tasty either. I probably won't go there again. I think I'll go to the nearby Hama Sushi from now on. (Original) 海鮮丼を注文したが、何分たっても来ず。 待ちきれなくて、店員を呼んで注文が通っているか確認したら、すぐに来た。 でも、ご飯が熱々… 寿司なのに、熱いシャリ？手抜き？ 寿司ネタも美味しくなかったです。 もう2度と行くことはないでしょう。 これからは、近くのはま寿司に行こうと思います。

(Translated by Google) Available for lunch on weekdays. The sushi I ordered was always falling apart or with torn pieces. I used the call button to call the clerk, but he never came. There are pieces of fish on the dessert plate. I understand that they are understaffed, but the customer service level and hygiene standards are very low. I probably won't use it again since there are other conveyor belt sushi restaurants nearby. (Original) 平日お昼に利用。注文した寿司は崩れていたりネタがちぎれたりしているものばかり。呼び出しボタンで店員さんを呼ぶが一度も来ない。デザートの皿に魚の破片がついている。人手不足なのはわかるが接客レベルも衛生観念も低すぎる。近くに他の回転寿司屋があるのでおそらく2度と利用しない。

Very good yakiniku. Two things brought down the stars: Sausage in lunch set wasn't that interesting and the chopsticks was quite rough.

(Translated by Google) I visited during lunch time on a weekday. I got in easily without having to wait. The receptionist didn't come out very often, which made me feel a bit confused. The price range was also reasonable for a popular restaurant. If I have another chance, I would like to go there for dinner next time. There was nothing to secure the child's chair properly, and since it was a hori kotatsu, I thought it would be dangerous for small children (1-2 year olds who can sit down). (Original) 平日のランチタイム出伺いました。 待つこともなくすんなり入れました。 受付の方が中々出てこず、そこだけモヤモヤしました。 価格帯も人気のお店にしては良心的でした。 また機会があれば次はディナーで行きたいです。 子供イスがちゃんと固定されるものがなく、堀こたつの為、小さい子（1歳〜2歳等の座れる子）は危ないかと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Osumi is home to many affordable and delicious yakiniku restaurants, but we rarely go to those in Kagoshima City, so we decided to have lunch at this place my husband has been going to for a long time. My husband ordered the special lunch, and I ordered the skirt steak, but... Huh? The meat was discolored in places, which made me wonder if it was aged. I hadn't heard of it being aged, so it somehow bothered me. I don't often see meat this color in restaurants. The photo has been brightened. The flavor also felt a bit off. The special lunch was beautiful, but was it really this fatty? As others have written, my husband also said the rice smelled like mold. Maybe the dish towels weren't very clean. It made me wonder if I actually don't like meat? Maybe I should have just ordered the loin. My husband seems to go there often, so I wonder if it depends on the day? I think Nabeshima is a good choice, as the restaurant is clean. (Original) 大隅は安くて美味しい焼き肉屋さんが多いのですが、鹿児島市内では行くことが少なく、夫が昔から通っているこちらでランチを。 夫は特選ランチ、私はハラミにしてみましたが… えっ、熟成？と所々変色しているお肉でした。熟成と聞いていないし何となく気になるような。あまりお店でこの色味は見たことなくて。 写真は明るく加工してます。 どことなく味わいも微妙に感じてしまいました。 特選はきれいなお肉でしたが、こんなに脂身があるもの？ 他の方も書かれていましたが、ご飯がカビのような臭いと夫も言ってました。 もしかして布巾とかが清潔じゃないのかしら。 私、実はお肉嫌いだっけ？と思ってしまう日でした。 シンプルにロースにすれば良かったかな。 夫はちょくちょく通っているようで、日によって違うのかな？ 私は店舗もきれいな、なべしまでいいかなー。

(Translated by Google) I stopped at a yakiniku restaurant while driving. The parking lot is spacious and the store is clean. Shoe boxes were also sorted by seat number. The meat was more delicious than I expected! It also came with a drink and I was very satisfied! I haven't been to Nakayama for a long time, but I liked it so much that I went there two weeks in a row lol. I thought it was a yakiniku restaurant run by a butcher. I'm planning to eat there again soon ^^ (Original) ドライブ中に立ち寄った焼肉屋さん。 駐車場は広めで、店内は綺麗。 靴箱も席の番号で振り分けられてました。 お肉は予想以上に美味しかった！ ドリンクも付いてきてとても満足！ なかなか中山には足を運んでませんでしたが気に入りすぎて2週連続で食べに行きました笑 流石お肉屋さんが経営してる焼肉店だなと思いました。 また近々食べに行く予定です^^

(Translated by Google) When it comes to Kagoshima residents' soul food, it's Yakiniku Shirakawa! Their thick, well-marbled meat is as delicious as a small steak. 🍖 While it's a little far from the city center, this yakiniku restaurant is still worth the visit. (Original) 鹿児島市民のソウルフードといえば、焼肉の白川！ 肉厚でサシの入ったお肉は、もはや小さなステーキ級の美味しさ🍖 市街地からは少し離れていますが、それを差し引いても訪れる価値のある焼肉屋さんです。

(Translated by Google) A yakiniku restaurant run directly by a butcher. The meat is of high quality and delicious. (Original) 肉屋直営の焼肉屋 肉の質はしっかりとしており、実に美味い

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious! (Original) 雰囲気もよく、お肉もすごく美味しかった！

I ordered the fish shabu-shabu. It was very good, but maybe not to the point of getting 5 stars. The place in itself is amazing, especially if you're lucky enough to have a seat near the window.

Nearby Sengan-En,just walking distance Overall service was okay,but the view and food itself was very worthy! Try if you like shabushabu(hotpot) and high quality pork meat.

Very busy restaurant with pretty view over the Sakurajima volcano, if seated by the window. I would recommend taking a queue number and then go to see the garden, restaurant would sent a SMS when the rime comes. We had two sets, pork and beef, the latter was slightly more expensive, but well worth the money since amount of meat was much more than then the one with pork. Food is served quite fast.

One of the 2 restaurants in the garden. It will be on the pricier side with min spend of 2200 yen per meal. It's expensive but the quality is there. You also get a great view of sakurajima while dining. Service wise, they will only refill your tea if you ask for it.

The place has an amazing view. Great good and very good service. We really enjoyed our lunch.

The food was great and since I was a solo diner I got to sit in the bar type area facing the window with a great view of Sakurajima. However, note that this is geared towards tourists and if it so happens you visit at the same time as a tour group, expect to wait quite some time for your table, and expect your meal to be surrounded by some very very loud people. I got the kuroshi beef shabu shabu set, and the food was good, but it was hard to enjoy it with all the commotion in the restaurant. The staff looked overworked as well, and I kind of feel bad for them. I tried hard but couldn't fully enjoy my meal because there was the pressure of other customers trying to get a table. Fortunately, they do have a QR queuing system where they give you a slip and you can scan the QR to check if you're about to be called; So I recommend you get this slip at the start of your visit, go around the sites, then have a table (hopefully) ready for you once you finish walking around. Hopefully the management comes to an agreement with tour operators (esp. those with larger groups) to get advanced reservations so such a commotion doesn't occur and disturb other guests.

A must visit place to have lunch in Kagoshima Sengan-en! The view from the restaurant was Magnificent 🤩, we were lucky enough to witness the Sakurajima erupted while having our lunch.

Good

(Translated by Google) It's not crowded on weekday nights, so you can get a seat right away. The flavor is strong and easy to understand, so I think it's a flavor that children will like. (Original) 平日の夜は混んでなくてすぐ席につけます。味が濃くて分かりやすいので子どもに好まれる味かなと思います。

(Translated by Google) I ate Tibetan sushi twice during this trip to Japan. This Heara store only gives 4 stars Dessert Montblanc was a bit unpalatable for some reason (Original) 這趟日本旅行共吃了兩次藏壽司 這間和姶良店只給4顆星 甜點蒙布朗不知為何有點難吃

(Translated by Google) I had to wait over 20 minutes after ordering. I asked the staff but they made me wait another 10 minutes. They didn't explain why. And the sushi conveyor belt stopped. It was making a lot of noise and the plates were getting clogged. It's unbelievable. They should renovate. (Original) 注文して20分以上待たされた 店員さんに聞くも10分以上さらにまつ 理由も説明なし さらには寿司レーンが止まるし 音を立ててレーンの皿が詰まる ありえないですね。改装した方がいいですよ

(Translated by Google) When I occasionally go alone on a weekday lunch, the table seats are always empty and I'm forced to sit crammed into the very small and few counter seats. On weekday lunches, there are more solo diners than families, so the table seats are sparse and the counter seats are almost full. Since the only option for solo diners is a counter seat, I head to my seat with no choice, but I feel a lot of stares and pressure from people already eating at the counter, telling me not to sit next to them because it's too small. (Original) 1人でたまに平日の昼に行くと、毎回テーブル席ガラガラで、すごい狭くて数も少ないカウンター席にギュウギュウ詰めに座らされる。 平日の昼は、家族連れより1人での利用が多いから、テーブル席はスカスカでカウンター席のみほぼ満席。 一人はカウンター席しか選べないから、仕方なく席に向かうけど、既にカウンター席で食事してる人から、狭いから隣の席座るなよっ。ていう、目線や圧をすごい感じる。

(Translated by Google) I entered the store without making an app reservation and waited inside with a number tag. I couldn't hear any calls from inside the store, and I didn't know what was being displayed on the monitor, so I checked with a female clerk, and she said, ``A seat became available early, so I called you, but you couldn't come, so it was canceled.'' . . teeth? When I asked what the number displayed on the upper monitor was, I was told that it had nothing to do with it. When I tell them that I can't hear the audio, they say, "I'm sorry," and feel unmotivated. When I took my seat, I was able to remove the tablet, but it was often crowded so I couldn't order. The sushi being passed around is all the same, so it's not that appealing. It's a shame because I really liked it at first, but I don't want to go there anymore. (Original) アプリ予約無しで入店して番号札を持って中で待機してました。店内の呼び出し音声が全く聞こえずモニターも何を表示しているのかわからないので女性店員に確認すると「席が早めに空いたので呼び出ししましたが来られなかったのでキャンセルされました」と。。。は？ 上部モニターに表示される番号は何か聞くと、あれは全く関係の無いですと 音声が聞こえないと伝えると、はぁすみませんとやる気のない感じ 席に着いてタブレットは取り外し可能でしたがしょっちゅう混み合っておりますとの事で注文出来ない状態。回ってる寿司も同じようなのばかりで魅力なし 最初は結構好きだったので残念ですがもう行きたくない

(Translated by Google) I think the chawanmushi with truffle was not tasty. It was covered in truffle sauce so I removed it and ate it. By the way, the chawanmushi had no toppings and cost about 400 yen. I guess it depends on the person, but my wife said she couldn't finish it in one bite. I like Kura Sushi and go there occasionally, but I was disappointed. (Original) トリフ入り茶碗蒸し不味いと思います、トリフのソースがかかってるので取りのぞき食べました、因みに茶碗蒸しには具は無し、値段は400円くらいだたかな、人それぞれかと思いますが、家の嫁はひとくちで無理って言ってました、くら寿司さん好きでたまに行ってましたがガッカリしました

Food is good. The services is average. The restaurant is a smoking restaurant, so you need to prepared that people will smoke inside the place. The restaurant is a tiny space, not many people can enter.

The most kind chef and services. Seems like a local gem with lots of regulars amongst visitors. Thank you.

The drunk salary man bought me food because I couldn't order on my own and kept the vibes going all night. It was great. I did climb Fuji in my pajamas in case ur reading this

(Translated by Google) Me, my wife, and a friend went out to dinner for the first time in a while. My friend has a delicious oden restaurant in Kokubu, so I want to try it! I looked it up and found it right away. It seems like you can't make a reservation, so the store opens at 5:00 p.m., but when I went to the front of the store around 4:30 p.m., there wasn't anyone in line yet, so I got the first spot! After that, other customers started arriving one after another within a few minutes. There were about 10 people in line when the store opened at 5pm. It was full as soon as it opened, so it would be best to arrive early. I was guided to a seat behind the counter (behind the staff) and immediately ordered. The ordering method was to write the required quantity on a list and hand it to the clerk. Drinks (draft beer, non-alcoholic beer, oolong tea), Tonkotsu (tonkotsu, not cartilage, it has bones. It tastes like spare ribs. A dish that would go well with the side dish of rice simmered in miso. What is oden soup? It was served separately. The photo is for one person.) Deep-fried tofu, potatoes, konchikuwa, mochi pouch, garland chrysanthemum (I used komatsuna because it was early in the season), bean sprouts, tendon (like Achilles heel, so it was quite filling), taro, fried chicken (4 servings per person) So, I ordered 2 servings (the photo is perfect as a snack with beer!). I forgot to take a photo of the order form. There is no price listed on the order form, so I don't know the details. We ate for about an hour and a half, but during that time there were quite a few customers who turned us down. The taste of oden was also very delicious ✨ To finish off the meal, my wife and friend ordered egg-cooked rice (we were told it would be eaten with oden soup). There was no mention of egg-cooked rice on the order form, but when I asked the staff, I was able to order it. All three of us ate our fill and the bill was around 3,000 to 4,000 yen per person. (Original) 久しぶりに私と嫁さん、友達の3人で食事へ。 友達が、国分で美味しいおでん屋さんがあるから、食べてみたい！との事で調べてみるとすぐに見つかりました。 予約が出来ないらしいので、17時開店なのですが、16時30分頃に店の前に行ってみると、まだ誰も並んでいなかったので、1番をゲット！ その後、数分で他のお客さんが続々とやってきました。 17時の開店時には10人程並んでいました。 開店と同時に満席状態になっていたので、早めに来店をした方が良さそうです。 カウンターの奥の席（店員さんの後ろ側）に案内され、早速注文。 注文方法は一覧表に必要数を書き込んで店員さんに渡す方式でした。 飲み物（生ビール、ノンアルビール、ウーロン茶）、とんこつ（軟骨ではなく、とんこつ、骨があります。スペアリブの様な感じです。お味噌？で煮込んであるご飯のオカズに合いそうな一品。おでんの出汁とは別に出てきました。写真は1人前です。） 厚揚げ、じゃがいも、糸こんちくわ、餅巾着、春菊（時期が早かったので小松菜でした。）もやし、スジ（アキレス腱らしくて、結構な食べ応えでした。）里芋、唐揚げ（1人前ぎ4本だったので、写真は2人前です。ビールのおつまみにバッチリ！）を頼みました。 注文票は写真を取り忘れました。注文票には、値段が記載して無いので、詳細は分かりません。 １時間半程食事をしましたが、その間にお断りしているお客さんが結構いました。 おでんの味もとても美味しかったです✨ 嫁さんと友達は締めに卵かけご飯（おでんの出汁をかけて食べるとの事でした）を注文しました。 注文票には卵かけご飯の記載は無いのですが、店員さんに訪ねると注文出来ました。 3人ともお腹いっぱい食べて、１人あたり3,000〜4,000円程のお会計でした。

(Translated by Google) I visited the oden shop Tsukasa. It's a restaurant where you can enjoy delicious oden as usual, and what particularly impressed me was the "beef tendon". It was large and filling, stewed tender, and had a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The atmosphere inside the store was calm and I was able to spend a pleasant time there. The oden stock also has a deep flavor that goes perfectly with the ingredients. Overall, it was a highly satisfying meal, and it is a restaurant that will make you want to visit again. (Original) おでんの店 掌(つかさ)を訪れました。相変わらず美味しいおでんが楽しめるお店で、特に印象に残ったのは「牛すじ」です。大きくて食べ応えがあり、柔らかく煮込まれており、口の中でとろけるような食感が魅力的でした。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、心地よい時間を過ごすことができました。おでんの出汁も深い味わいがあり、具材との相性が抜群です。 総合的に見て、今回も満足度の高い食事となり、また訪れたいと思わせてくれるお店です。

(Translated by Google) A famous oden restaurant that has been in Kokubu for over half a century. The chicken-based oden 🍢 broth is irresistible. The interior has a traditional Showa-era feel, and the chef's sophisticated service adds to the flavor. (Original) おでんの名店として、国分の町で半世紀超えの老舗　鶏ガラベースのおでん🍢出汁が堪らない 昔ながらの昭和チックな店内　昭和の大将の渋い接客も良い味出してる

(Translated by Google) Daikon radish and tendon. They were so delicious and easy to eat that I ended up eating each twice. Also, since this is an oden restaurant, it may not be the restaurant's signature dish, but the fried chicken was also excellent. Four of us went there and ordered it four times. (Original) 大根とスジ。 これを2回ずつ食べてしまうほど、ぺろっといけて、かつ美味しいです。 あとは、おでん屋ということで店の看板商品ではないかもしれませんが、からあげも絶品。 4人で行って、4回注文しちゃいました。

Absolutely the best meal I have ever had. Highly recommend, it is worth every penny!

(Translated by Google) We booked a hotel here for our first trip as a couple after the coronavirus pandemic. I made a reservation for this restaurant on the first floor over the phone in advance, but when I told them that I couldn't eat seafood, the chef asked me one by one, ``Are you okay with 〇〇?'' I thought it was very polite. The restaurant is on the first floor of the hotel. I mistakenly went to the restaurant in the back, and when I was confused, I saw someone standing there greeting me in a beautiful kimono. carefully guided me The quiet entrance next to the stairs felt like a hideout. The restaurant has 8 seats around the iron plate? There were about. When we sat down, we received a list of menus from the chef. They told me that they chose this menu because they didn't like seafood, and I was impressed that they had thought of the menu to suit their customers. The most important dish is... Everything was delicious! ! I thought there would be at least one thing that I didn't like or didn't like, but there wasn't at all! Moreover, it seemed like Kagoshima's seasonal ingredients were used at that time, so I was able to taste a variety of Kagoshima. There are also various mechanisms, which are really impressive! I will try not to write too much as it will be a spoiler. The food and everything else is perfect! They called out to me as soon as I ran out of drinks, and they perfectly monitored the customer's movements and moved in advance of the customer.I felt really good from start to finish and it was a great memory. I thought it was the best store ever You should go at least once! ! I immediately told my friends! However, you may only be able to get this far if you make a reservation, so I think it's better to make a reservation😀 I would like to visit again when I travel to Kagoshima! (Original) コロナ明けの久々の夫婦の旅で、ここのホテルを予約しました その一階にあるこのお店を事前に電話で予約しましたが、私が魚介類が食べれない旨をお伝えすると、シェフの方が一つ一つ「〇〇は大丈夫ですか？」などと聞いていただき、丁寧だと思いました。 お店はホテルの一階、間違えて奥のレストランに行き、分からず迷ってると、着物の綺麗な挨拶で立たれてる方？が丁寧に案内してくれました 階段横にひっそりとある入り口が隠れ家のようでした お店は、鉄板を囲んで8席？くらいありました。 席に着くとシェフよりメニュー一覧を受け取りました 魚介類NGとお聞きしたのでこのメニューにしましたと言っていただき、お客様に合わせてメニューを考えてくれていると感動しました 肝心の料理は… 全て美味しかったです！！ 一つくらい苦手なものや口に合わないものがあるかと思いきや、全くなかったです！ しかも鹿児島のその時その時の旬の食材なども使われているようで、色々な鹿児島を味わうことができました。 また様々な仕掛けがあり、本当に感動！ ネタバレになるのであまり多くはあえて書かないようにします お料理もその他も全て百点満点です！ 飲み物がなくなるとすぐに声をかけていただいたり、お客様の動きを完璧に見て先回りで動いていただき本当に最初から最後まで気分よく最高の思い出になりました これまでにない最高の店だと思いました 是非一度は行くべき！！ 友人にも早速教えました！ ただ、ここまでやっていただくには予約あってからこそかもしれないので予約は取ったほうがいいと思いますよ😀 また鹿児島旅行の際は行きたいと思います！

(Translated by Google) There are about 8 seats at the counter, so I think you need to make a reservation... We recommend that you allow at least 2 hours for your meal. The chef carefully explains the food and ingredients right in front of you, and the head chef takes great care in making everything by hand.No matter how many times you visit, you'll always be able to use the freshest seasonal ingredients. (Original) カウンター８席位なので予約が必要かと・・ 時間も２時間以上の余裕を持ってお食事に行かれる事をおすすめします。 目の前で食事や食材等の説明を丁寧にして下さり全てに料理長が手間かけての手作りに拘って何度通っても旬の食材で腕をふるって下さるので飽きがこず通いたくなるお店です。

(Translated by Google) Recommendations / Courses A fun and delicious meal with a great presentation. (Original) オススメ / コース 演出あって楽しく美味しい食事ができます。

(Translated by Google) The taste and the hospitality of the chef and staff were great. All the dishes were as delicious as the main dish. It was the first restaurant I would want to go to again on a special day. (Original) 味やシェフやスタッフのおもてなしが最高でした。 全ての料理が主役のように美味しかったです。 また特別な日に行きたいと1番に思えるお店でした。

(Translated by Google) The restaurant manager's carefully crafted meals are full of exquisite dishes that use many of the manager's recommended ingredients from all over the prefecture. Other things like the atmosphere, interior decoration, customer service, tableware, etc. This is a store that fully embodies the idea that ``service is added value'' without hesitation. Today was a very important day for me, so I was really lucky to be here on a day like this (^^;) I was able to enjoy the meal from start to finish. I can't give anything other than five stars. (Original) 店長のこだわりが詰まりまくりの食事は県内各地の店長お勧め食材を多く利用した絶品ばかり。その他お店の雰囲気、内装、接客、食器、、、。 「サービスとは付加価値だ」を嫌みなくフル体現しているお店です。 本日は僕にとってとても大事な日でしたので、このような日にここにこれて本当に運が良かった(^^;) 終始楽しく食事する事ができました。 星五つ以外つけようがありません。

This is a restaurant that featured local Black cow and pork meats. You have the option of having the meat cooked in various ways-ie, sukiyaki, shabu, grilled, etc. the meats are good and very high quality. The service was professional and quick. Overall, a good experience.

Good quality and the staff are kind and flexible enough to allow us sharing meals we ordered (some restaurants would require the entire table ordering the same set) Spacious and comfortable, and it’s very worthy to mention the very reasonable price. It’s only around 7000 yen on average for one person that we have already ordered the more expensive set already A place highly recommended

Finding it might be a bit tricky through an elevator on the side of the main building entrance. It's in second floor. It's a Japanese hot pot (Shabu-Shabu) restaurant with variety of good tasty meats and veggies to cook your way. It's well decorated with modern classic decors. Tables are in cubicles giving you feeling of privacy or separated by plastic plastic sheets most likely remained post pandemic.

We came to Karen to try the shabu-shabu and grill of black pork, black beef and black chicken. The set menus come with an appetiser, the mains and a dessert platter. Everything from start to finish was high quality and worth your money! The staff also were super polite, warm and friendly. The ambience was beautiful and elegant. Please try all of Kagoshima’s famous produce here!

Highly enjoyable sukiyaki meal of Kagoshima beef and pork. Out of curiosity we also tried the steamed set, which was also a nice experience for enjoying the natural flavors of such excellent meat, but still, overall I preferred sukiyaki. Although, this restaurant is on the pricey side relative to Kagoshima, it's still very reasonably priced if you consider how much the same Kagoshima meat would be priced in Fukuoka or even somewhere like Tokyo. Highly recommend to try at least once!

Exceptional shabu-shabu with top quality “kokugyu” (black cattle) and “kurobuta” (black pig) meat from the Kagoshima area. Excellent drink selection including some rare shochu like Murao and Moriizou. Staff was very accommodating given we asked for a same-day reservation without much advance notice. Somewhat expensive, but to be expected of a restaurant of this caliber.

The very unique thing of this place is the steaming. Which I’d enjoy it when i come pass Kagoshima. Used to have pork and beef only, now got Kagoshima black chicken. Enjoy the experience more than the food itself, although they are very good but not top end stuff. Relatively pricy but in exchange not many ppl come here, allows you to have a relaxing time.

Traditional style ramen popular with locals. There's usually a short queue in front of the store but the wait is short. They open till 3am, perfect for a snack after drinking at one of the many clubs near by. I guess this contributed to their popularity as well.

Kokinta is a nice ramen spot- no frills, inexpensive, and tasty. The waitress was very helpful as we don’t speak Japanese. We ordered the Tonkatsu ramen with the pork bones. Excellent pork and noodles were tasty. Broth wasn’t anything special but not bad. Also got the fried rice which was a hit. Great vibes and big portions, definitely worth a rainy day dinner!

Awesome ramen place though extremely busy and popular. Great for a late night meal in Kagoshima, very friendly service

There is a reason you'll almost always find a queue of locals for this place - the ramen is very, very good. As a foreigner, this was the best ramen I have ever tasted. I selected the standard ramen with extra pork on the bone, which was so tender it was almost unbelievable. However, what would be a 5 star review has to be a 4 as we were overcharged - they mistakenly charged an extra 2k yen (they charged us for another table's bill, after the other table had presumably paid ours and left). We returned and they refunded the 2k though.

I went there alone for lunch in late July and had to wait about 10 minutes. Unlike most ramen places, you don't order from a ticket machine, they give you an actual menu instead. The shop is pretty cramped, so whenever someone walks by to leave, you have to lean forward a bit so they don't bump into you. I ordered a ramen set with fried rice and added an extra egg. I loved the fresh, crunchy bean sprouts and the noodles had this perfect slightly firm texture with a nice chew to them. The broth was amazing, really rich and flavorful. The fried rice was kind of disappointing though. It was a bit soggy and greasy, even though the seasoning was good. I'd definitely go back! It's one of the best ramen spots I've tried in Kagoshima.

best ramen ever had.. so delicious... also gyosa so good... fast service..

There was a long line outside the restaurant at lunch time but the queue moves pretty fast. After 30 mins we were seated and tried both ramen soup bases. The shio ramen was my favourite, don’t be deceived by the white soup base, it is layered with flavours and it’s so umami! The miso ramen was thicker and heavier, and also very delicious. We had the gyoza on the side which was also spot on. We saw other diners trying the fried rice as well, but we were definitely full after the ramen. It’s been the best ramen I’ve had so far in Kyushu and I highly recommend this ramen!

They offered an outstanding black pork shabu shabu lunch set that beautifully highlighted the region’s specialty. The thinly sliced Kagoshima Kurobuta pork was delicately marbled, and when dipped briefly in the light dashi broth, it became tender and flavorful without losing its natural sweetness. The accompanying vegetables such as fresh greens, mushrooms, tofu, and finely shredded carrot, brought balance and variety to each bite. After the shabu shabu, the meal transitioned perfectly with rice served in a fragrant broth topped with pork slices and scallions, creating a comforting ochazuke-style dish. Finally, the course ended on a sweet note with a smooth and bittersweet pudding that paired well with the savory meal😍

What an amazing place!! Came for dinner on a Thursday night around 7pm and wasn't too busy. We had the 3900 yen pork shabu shabu course what included many dishes as well as the shabu shabu... Each dish was great. Honestly super tasty and good quality. For this price you can not complain in fact I am suprised they can continue at that price. Must go if your in the area. They had a teppan yaki and tempura place as well next door which I will definitely come back and try.

Need to grab a ticket at the machine and wait to be called. Their pork is yummy!

This place basically has all-style of food you want in Kagoshima! The silver-strip round herring is our favourite. The staff is fantastic ! They tried their best to speak English, they also have English menu, which makes life so much easier! We will come back again with our family members in 2020😎 Thank you so much for the gift and toro🙏🏻 Oishi !!!! 🤤🤤🤤 This is one of the best restaurants in Kyushu, how do I know? Because I tried their other branch in Oita~ This original branch is the best!!! 🥇

got shabu shabu, a few more dishes and a few drinks all for under 10,000¥. Great value, amazing food and superb service. Will come again for sure

It was a bit long ago that we went but good memories from Kagoshima! It was really delicious black pork shabu shabu. What was interesting was they used the broth to boil soba to shabu shabu the ingredients.

Wow. Great food. Never expected that huge volume of set menu.

This ramen place was very delicious, full of flavor, My only concern is the price. They are a little more expensive than any normal ramen shop, and that is why the place was full of tourists rather than japanese people for lunch. Other than that, I would say it was a good lunch, Gyoza was not the best, but it was worth a try!

Good restaurant to try the famous Kagoshima ramen. Good quality and affordable price. Pay at the door from a vending machine and wait for it to be served. The char siu is really good quality. Thick yet tender and the fat melts in the mouth, however with the heaviness of the soup it adds too much fat to the ramen so it can feel too rich rather than nicely balanced. The gyoza was ok but the filling was a bit too soft. A good meal but would have been better at the end of a night after about 5 beers! 😂

It's amazing to have come back again to this ramen restaurant! I came last year and met Sagan and today I met him again! He served me a very tasty miso ramen and hard noodle as requested. The soup had lots of flavors that went well when adding garlic paste available in store. Extremely recommendable! Coming again to rejoice with very nice dish here, and stumbled upon with a unique Curry Ramen, Sagar's inspired dish. Not only great to have met him again, but also to try a dish based on his cuisine. Very special, not that hot, but good mix with curcumin and veggies. Never tried this around Japan and the flavor didn't disappoint. Very good to try!!

I like how simple the order step is. You purchase a ticket from vending machine, take it to waitress and wait for your ramen. The pork is delicious, but the taste of black pork ramen soup is just the same as miso ramen, nothing special.

Hidden along an alleyway and only manage to kmow there is a shop there from google map. A display table of what was served was placed outside the shop. Although obscure, the interior atmosphere was great. The ramen serve was great. 2 large slabs of kurobuta grilled over charcoal and perfectly cooked tamago. Soup was slightly salty but goes very well with the pork and ramen was perfectly cooked. We went around 5pm before dinner crowd so we were practically the only one there. Staff still greet us with a big smile. Definitely worth a visit.

What attracted us to the shop is that particular display of spicy pork ramen. Both of us ordered the same dish. The broth wasn't overly spicy, the umami is well balanced and the body is not sickly thick. Excellent broth. The noodles were cooked just nice. The highlight is the pork meat (charsiu). Smoky, tender and well marinated. Highly recommended.

Well, we don’t speak any Japanese some of this place was truly authentic for Ramen. I have no frame of reference, but we had a fabulous lunch and it was quite tasty. We ordered the classic ramen, pork dumplings and a beer. Don’t expect any menus in English, which to me makes the whole experience much more authentic! The staff were very friendly and they cook everything right in front of your eyes, we would definitely come back here.

Pretty decent Ramen, the broth is more on the thin side compared to Fukuoka style ramen. The garlic and pork, I think were the best parts of the dish. The only downside is since it's from an electronic stall, you can't really customize your noodles. I strongly prefer without onion, so I just picked them out after it came to me. But it appeared the lady working thought me removing the green onions with a spoon meant I didn't know how to use chopsticks so brought me fork.

I loved this place! The two older women behind the counter are beyond sweet, trying to help me push the translate button on the ordering machine because I was too blind to see it. The ramen is sooooo good, so rich best one I've had. You can really taste the difference in pork from the other regions. Must go!

The soup is a little bit salty but the pork dumplings are great! The additional ramen is not for free but the size is fine.

One of the best ramen I ever had in Japan !!! If you like sesame you have to try it ! Lovely people , once I arrived late they were closing and one of the stuff walked with me 5streets to take me to another Tontoro restaurant, thank you very much

Average ramen. Soup too salty. Pork was great though, melt in the mouth

The pork was really tender and taste so good. The egg was a bit over cooked.

A bit disappointing as the flavour of the soup is not as rich as I expected. Overrated.

Typical Japanese food, beautifully presented and tasted great, atmosphere was great. Owner was very helpful on how to order and pay.

Ordered through the self service ticket machine. Simply used Google to translate. Friendly staff. The ramen was excellent. I picked the Kagoshima one as they do have Hakata styled. Less intense than Hakata styled which I prefer. Could taste the freshness. Very yummy

Can’t make it to Fukuoka for noodles? Enjoy HAKATA ramen in Kagoshima! The noodles, broth, toppings - all on par! The service, excellence. If hungry, remember that ‘kaidama’ is offered (extra (low) price). Personally, I like ‘kata-men’, or semi-hard noodles. You can specify this. The gyoza dumplings were a perfect match. Enjoy!!

Best ramen I've had. Stopped for a lunch on the way out to Yakushima, would go again. Cash only in the ticket machine.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five star dining at Satsuma Shimuja Restaurant in Kagoshima 🗻, Japan 🇯🇵! We visited for dinner during a recent trip in April 2024. The speciality at this restaurant is ramen 🍜 with various types of ramen available. Ordering and payment is accomplished conveniently using the touchscreen monitor at the entrance. On our recent visit we ordered the tantanmen and gyoza - both very tasty! Highly recommended 😸!

Very good ramen. The pork broth was so good. It's so much better than anything I have had in US, and it's around $10 USD.

Small ramen restaurant with a really friendly owner. Awesome noodles! Good price. We ate the Satsuma Ramen. 🤩

Stumbled upon this yakiniku place just next to JR station while looking for a place to eat after 9pm. English menu available for non-locals. Had the Assorted Waygu Platter, Salted Kurobuta pork belly/ jowl, assorted kimchi n spicy soft tofu soup. Beef/pork cooked over charcoal grill. Food was good, reasonably priced n service was great. Recommended!

This is a highly-recommended restaurant which serves high quality Japanese wagyu at very reasonable prices. Its dining atmosphere and environment is superb and its food are nicely presented.

Really enjoyable Yakiniku in Kagoshima. Real coals and worth going for more expensive meat. Cabbage salad great.

perfect!!

Excellent beef!

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant for the first time the other day! The prices weren't too expensive, the meat was tender, and the beef tongue with salt and green onions was thin and soft, and the ponzu sauce made it refreshing, which was great! I ordered bibimbap to finish off the meal, and the staff mixed it up for me, and it even had a bit of char on it, making it the perfect way to finish off a meal! The service from the staff was also great! Even though there were a lot of customers, they were able to keep an eye on us, even in the corner seats, so we were able to eat in peace! The only disappointing thing was that there was a cockroach walking up the wall while we were eating, which was a bit disappointing. (Original) 先日初めて来店しました！ 値段もそこまで高すぎずお肉も柔らかくてネギ塩牛タンが薄くて柔らかく、ポン酢でさっぱり食べられたのがとてもよかったです！ 締めにビビンバを注文したんですが、店員さんが混ぜて提供してくれておこげもあり最高のシメになりました！ 店員さんの接客も素晴らしかったです！ お客さんが多かったのにも関わらず隅の席まで目が届いていて安心して食べられました！ ですが、食事中にゴキブリが壁を歩いていてそこだけが残念でした。

For only 4,000 yen, you can eat many different parts of Wagyu, and the meat is very good and has a lot of fat. The vegetable porridge and dessert (almond tofu) are also very delicious. The staff is very good and speaks English. Please pay attention to dining etiquette when you come to our store, be a good international traveler, and enjoy the food.
