What kind of food do you recommend in Kumamoto Yoshi?Two Japanese friends and I discussed over and over again, and decided that when we visited the stores this time, we could dig out some century-old stores or stores that have been in business for a long time. These stores must have their philosophy and spirit worthy of our visit.Shangcun うなぎ屋 is a shop that started with eel cuisine. It pays attention to the use of texture in cooking. It has been in business for a hundred years, and our group immediately chose it to taste. How delicious is it?Just come in and have a look!
How to get from Fukuoka and Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi?
If you take the railway from Fukuoka Hakata Station, the journey takes about 3 to 4 hours, and you need to change trains 1 or 2 times.Usually, you can take the JR Kyushu Island 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 leave in the morning, there is usually a direct JR bus from Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi There is no need to transfer trains. For those who live in Kumamoto, it is quite convenient to go to Hitoyoshi.
In addition, Hitoyoshi City is located in the southern Kyushu Island area, and the Northern Kyushu Island Edition Rail Pass is not applicable. You must use the All Kyushu Island Edition Rail Pass.The northern Kyushu travel pass is only applicable to Kumamoto, so people who buy the northern Kyushu version have to pay for the fare from Kumamoto to Hitoyoshi, which costs nearly 2,000 yen one way.

Renji’s century-old store – Shangcun Unagi House, try a delicious sauce-flavored eel rice
After getting out of Hitoyoshi Station, walk for about 10 to 12 minutes, and you will arrive at this century-old store. It is a long and long machiya style, with different dining areas in the narrow corridor. It was winter when I visited, and the heat was blowing inside. It was a bit less chilly, and it was surprising that there were so many diners, many of whom were local residents. They smiled and told two Japanese friends that the century-old restaurant is so charming.
I love eel rice very much. Whether it is Japan or Taiwan, I like the method of Umura うなぎya. The eel is baked with charcoal wood here. Not only is it slightly burnt, but the eel is tender and sweet, and the sauce is just right , In addition, using Hitoyoshi Kuma's self-produced rice without pesticides, one bite of eel, one bite of rice, the most delicious combination.

Seeing a friend sharing a news article "Tourists must visit the century-old eel shop in Kumamoto, which was hit by heavy rain, and the secret sauce was all lost", I felt a bad feeling in my heart. Sure enough... "Kumamoto Prefecture, which has been established for 112 years and must be visited by tourists The century-old secret sauce of the long-established eel restaurant "Uemura Eel House" in Hitoyoshi City also flowed away with the flood. The 200 eels in the tank either escaped or died, causing heavy losses. ", I believe that the ancestral technology is still there, but the damage caused by the heavy rain is huge. I only sent a message a couple of weeks ago to ask whether my family members living in Kyushu are safe. I hope that the disaster will not continue to spread, and these shops We can recover soon.
