Premium Malt Beer Stand, made with Aso's natural water

Just past the castle gate on the train street side is the "Premium Malts Beer Stand." The Premium Malts, made with natural water from Aso, is characterized by its gorgeous aroma and deep flavor. Fresh beer shipped within three days from the Suntory Beer Factory in Mifune-cho, Kamimashiki-gun, is served in five different pours.

It is also the first in Kumamoto to feature a swing faucet, a type of old-fashioned pouring tap that even beer lovers are not familiar with.

Beer can have a variety of different flavors depending on the pourer and the way it is poured. This is a beer stand where even people who didn't like beer before can start to like it by drinking it in the recommended state.

Nagomi-an Kumamoto Yatai Village Store: Locally caught seafood served with tempura

Nagomi-an specializes in using ingredients from Kumamoto Prefecture, and serves piping hot tempura fried in a copper pan.

In particular, the dishes made with natural clams from Kumamoto Prefecture are a must-try when you drop by. They purchase precious natural clams from Kumamoto Prefecture through a fishery cooperative, and post a certificate of origin from the supplier in front of the store every day so that customers can eat them with peace of mind.

"Honhamaguri Kakiage" is a popular dish that has been featured on TV many times. The batter is made using clam extract, which allows you to enjoy the umami of the clams even more.

Grilled offal, grilled meat for one, meat

"Hormone Yaki Hitori Yakiniku Nikumon" allows you to enjoy the true pleasure of eating yakiniku solo, as you can taste as much of the cuts of meat as you like. The staff are friendly and easy to talk to, so it has an atmosphere that makes it a great place to stop by even if you're alone.

You can taste "Kumamoto Kuroge Wagyu Waou", which has won the Prime Minister's Award three times in a row at the National Wagyu Beef Competition.

Because it is directly managed by a butcher, all the meat is fresh! They have a wide selection of pork innards, including grilled innards that go perfectly with beer, so innards lovers can't miss it. They also have other dishes, such as the melt-in-your-mouth "drinkable loin" and kalbi, so you can enjoy yakiniku at your own pace by yourself.

Robata Italian Natural Wine Ilfo

A new take on modern Italian cuisine, created by Il Forno D'oro, an authentic pizza specialty restaurant in Kikuchi City.

In addition to wood-fired pizza "Lotrino," the restaurant serves charcoal-grilled dishes such as "game" caught by the owner himself and Yamatocho trout, along with nature wines.

Juicy meatballs and spicy soba noodles Charcoal grilled yakitori Tenmaya

We use wheat from Kumamoto Prefecture, and we use our own blend of buckwheat flour that is the most delicious at that time of year to prepare our homemade noodles. Our spicy soba noodles, dipped in our homemade chili oil, are a new and delicious treat. Our juicy, hand-kneaded raw meatballs, full of meat juice, are also a must-try item.

Sample shochu from all 27 breweries

You can try a variety of unique brands of Kuma Shochu made in Hitoyoshi Kuma from 27 breweries at a standing bar starting at 100 yen per glass.

Brands from 14 breweries are always on offer, changing every two months. Apparently there are some enthusiasts who complete the collection of all 14 breweries.
