What kind of food does Xiong Jinji recommend here?Two Japanese friends and I discussed repeatedly and decided that when we visited the stores, we were able to unearth some century-old stores or stores that have been in business for a long time. These stores must have their ideas and spirits worthy of our visit.Uemura Tanakoya is a restaurant that started with eel dishes. It emphasizes the use of local materials in cooking. It has been in business for a hundred years, and our group immediately chose it to taste it. How delicious is it?Just come in and have a look!
How to get to Hitoyoshi from Fukuoka and Kumamoto?
If you take the train from Fukuoka Hakata Station, the journey will take about 3 to 4 hours, and you will need to transfer 1 to 2 trains.Usually you can take the JR Kyushu Shinkansen to Kumamoto first, transfer to the JR Kagoshima Main Line in Kumamoto to Yatsushiro, and then take the JR Hisatsu Line from Yatsushiro to Hitoyoshi Station. If you depart in the morning, there is usually a direct JR train from Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi. No transfer is required. For those staying in Kumamoto, getting to Hitoyoshi is quite convenient.
In addition, Hitoyoshi City is located in the southern Kyushu region, and the Northern Kyushu version of the Rail Pass is not applicable. You must use the all-Kyushu version of the Rail Pass.The southernmost travel pass of the Northern Kyushu Edition is only applicable to Kumamoto. Therefore, those who purchase the Northern Kyushu Edition must pay a separate fare from Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi. The one-way fare is nearly 2,000 yen. When you arrange your itinerary, you can calculate how to buy it.

Hitoyoshi XNUMX-year-old shop – Uemura Tanakoya, try a delicious soy-boiled eel and rice
After getting out of the station, walk about 10~12 minutes to reach this century-old shop. It is a long-length machiya style. There are different dining areas on the narrow corridor. The visit was in winter during the winter, and the heating was hit as soon as you entered. The noodles were slightly less chilly, and I was surprised by the number of diners, many of whom were still local residents, laughing and talking to two Japanese friends that the original century-old shop was so charming.
I love eating eel rice. Whether it’s Japan or Taiwan, Uemura Tanakoya’s method is very popular. Baking eel with charcoal wood here is not only slightly charred, but the eel’s meat is tender and sweet and the sauce is just right. In addition, using Hitoyoshi Kuma’s own pesticide-free rice, one bite of eel, one bite of rice, the most delicious combination.

Seeing a friend share the news of "Visitors must visit Kumamoto's century-old eel shop, the torrential rain was hit, and the secret sauce was lost", I felt a bad feeling in my heart. As expected... "Kumamoto Prefecture, a must-see for tourists since its foundation 112 The century-old secret sauce from the city’s long-established eel shop "Uemura Eel House" also ran away with the flood. The 200 eels in the tank either escaped or died, and suffered heavy losses. "I believe that the ancestral technology is still there, but the heavy rain caused great losses.
