Nagashi Somen Chiho-no-ie  千穂の家 元祖流しそうめん 62-1 Mitai, Takachiho, Nishiusuki District, Miyazaki 882-1101, Japan This place is a must-try for me after seeing so many Instagram posts. If you haven’t heard of it, they serve Nagashi somen noodles that flow down a bambo shoots filled with cold running water, and you catch them at the end.  This cold noodle dish is served with a dipping sauce called tsuyu made with dashi stock and soy sauce. In case you missed it, the somen noodles flow down a drain, and they’re caught at the end and brought to your table.  They also offer a set meal that includes local trout, which we ordered. The trout’s flesh is incredibly sweet, making it a must-try alongside the flowing somen. For hygiene reasons, it’s best to catch the noodles using a clean pair of chopsticks and then eat them with another pair. Keep in mind that you’ll need to wait for each group of customers to finish their order (i.e., the noodles flowing down the drain) before it’s your...

  Taikai  伊勢海老料理 大海 568-1 Miyaura, Nichinan, Miyazaki 887-0101, Japan This place was a short distance from Sun Messe Nichinan and its highly recommended for their japanese spiny lobster.  Its November and its when the lobster is in season from September to November. Slimy seaweed appetiser that is sourish and grilled seashell on the house. Interesting seashell that has another tiny shell. These shells is really hot after grilling. Nanban fried chicken for the kids meal. This is standard japanese food. Very chewy and tough abalone. Although the intestines are green and looked unappealing but it actually better in taste and texture than the abalone sashimi. This is yummy and fresh. Grilled lobster. But after tasting both, lobster sashimi would be a better choice as the meat became a little tough and dry after grilling. Though this is still good to eat.  The lobster soup is so awesome!!!! Very fresh and delicious sashimi.  Due to the exchange rate, the price for th...
