Located near JR "Ibusuki" Station, this Japanese restaurant has been serving local cuisine and a variety of dishes made from fresh seafood from Kinko Bay for over 40 years. Must-try specialties of Satsuma include "Satsuma-age" (fried fish cake), "Kurobuta Tonkatsu Miso-ni" (black pork fried cutlet simmered in miso), and "Sashimi of Raw Chicken." Additionally, "Boiled Shark" is a rare delicacy that is not available elsewhere; the shark meat is cooked and sliced thin, served with a vinegar miso dip, making it worth a try. In recent years, the most talked-about local dish is the "Onsen Tamago Don" (hot spring egg rice bowl), which was created in 2009. This dish transforms the chefs' staff meal into something special, featuring rice topped with marinated sashimi and salted bonito, all complemented by a soft-boiled egg made from "Satsuma Imo Tamago" (sweet potato eggs) raised in Kagoshima. The traditional way to enjoy this dish is to mix the egg into the rice. This local gem allows you to taste a variety of regional specialties in one visit and has gradually gained popularity among tourists. If you are visiting Ibusuki, it is definitely worth stopping by.
