Miyazaki

Japanese restaurants in Miyazaki

  1. A

    Ogura Honten

    Chicken nanban was invented here half a century ago, and crowds continue to flock to Ogura's red and white awning in the alley behind Yamakataya department store. For shorter queues, try the larger, kitsch-filled crosstown branch

  3. C

    Maruman Honten

    This homey shop serves jidori, full of flavour but tougher and cooked rarer than you may be used to. The standard is momoyaki (grilled chicken leg), but tataki (seared; ¥600) and sashimi (what you think it is; ¥650) are also popular, and meals come with a light and delicious chicken broth. For more thorough cooking, say 'yoku yaite kudasai'. Some English spoken. Look for the Kirin Classic Lager sign out the front.
