Chef Oya Kai once studied for many years at Fiocchi in Tokyo. He became the head chef at the age of 23, which is really an amazing age. I recommended Fiocchi to my friends a long time ago. The objective situation that it is not difficult to make a reservation makes many diners not index this restaurant, but the actual level is enough to enter the first echelon of Italian cuisine in Tokyo. After leaving Tokyo, Oya Kai returned to Kagoshima Prefecture where he grew up (he went to Yakushima when he was in school), and eventually got acquainted with the small town of Izumi, and transformed an old KTV in the local area into today's KAI. Compared with Fiocchi's preference for traditional Alba dishes, Oya Kai cooks dishes that completely cater to his personal preferences at KAI - considering the possible combination of main and side ingredients based on inspiration, with refined seasoning and simple cooking. Although there is an eye-catching firewood kiln in the store, the chef does not rely too much on it, avoiding the aroma of firewood burning appearing too frequently and disrupting the harmony of the menu, which is actually a major problem for many firewood burning signature restaurants. In general, the dishes that night were a perfect match of imagination and taste. They not only had subtle depth, but also were simple enough for everyone to appreciate. They were the "KAI" style that no one could imitate. #美食旬味会 #浪漫约会餐厅 #地方只有吃的美食 #吃一家海鲜饭 #朋友圈被问的地方

Sophie's Japan Kyushu Travel | Hitoyoshi Eel Rice In order to take a unique sightseeing train, I took the Emerald Mountain Emerald Train from Kumamoto to the terminal station Hitoyoshi. This is a small town that can't be more niche. After getting off the train, I went straight to the recommended century-old shop No. 1, Uemura Unagiya (eel). After walking for 15 minutes, there were basically no pedestrians on the road. It was a bit scary. According to the navigation, I came to the door of a small shop. I pushed the door and realized that everyone had come to the Eel House for lunch. Although the storefront is small, it is quite big inside. There are small tables outside and several large private rooms inside. The decoration is super old, tatami, library, and cast iron kettles hanging on the charcoal pile, revealing the ancient Japanese culture. The key point is the eel rice. The Japanese wild eel is grilled on charcoal fire. Of course, it is amazing. Even the rice and charcoal are emphasized to be used from the nearby Kuma area. They have been focusing on making a bowl of eel rice for 100 years. It took about 15 minutes to get to the table. The cheapest dish was a medium-sized bowl of eel rice, which had 3 pieces of eel without soup and cost 1,900 yen. The portion was enough for a girl. The eel skin was roasted to be extremely crispy and fragrant, and the inside was fresh and chewy because it was a live eel. It was soft and juicy, and the fine bones were basically cleaned. I couldn't stop eating one piece after another. The white rice was dipped in eel sauce, and the texture was soft and melted with a light bite. It was rare to eat such soft rice. There was also a bowl of eel liver clear soup, which was expensive but must be tried. It was my favorite among the dozens of eel rice I have eaten so far.

The quality of the meat is good and it tastes good no matter how it is cooked. I had a three-flavor dish. The pork and carrot soup tasted better than the pork chop. The curry sauce in the curry Abu Abu set meal was super delicious, and the rice was clean.

Hitoyoshi City in Kumamoto Prefecture is a castle town with a history of 700 years. Its small shops are also full of stories. Uemura Unagiya is a century-old shop for eel dishes. It has an ancient townhouse layout. Most of the diners are locals. The signature dish is the braised eel rice. The outstanding part is that it uses live eels from Japan. You can't miss the eel stew and eel liver soup. The century-old shop is not in vain.

Shiratama-ya Shinzaburo, I later found out that this shop is actually a 370-year-old white jade dessert shop. Ah, I really missed it. It is in Kumamoto Castle Sakura no Babajo Saien. Fortunately, I saw this in Fukuoka Tenjin Daimaru Department Store. It is a white jade dessert made of specially selected rice and water. It is delicious with coffee and tea.
