Yufu Mabushi Shin Kinrin Lake Main Store

This restaurant offers three types of "Yufu Mabushi," a dish that explores the unique ways of enjoying rice in Yufuin. Served in clay pots, the dishes feature Bungo beef, local Yufu chicken, and eel, each accompanied by appetizers, pickles, condiments, and red miso soup.

The most popular dish is the "Bungo Beef Mabushi," where the clay pot rice is topped with char-grilled Bungo beef, creating a flavorful and hearty meal. Other options include the "Eel Mabushi," featuring carefully selected and grilled Kyushu eel, and the "Local Chicken Mabushi," combining Toyo no Shamo chicken and herb chicken from Oita. Enjoy the dish in stages: first, savor it as is, then add condiments, and finally pour broth over it to enjoy it as a tea-infused dish.

Located on Yufuin's main street, Yunotsubo Kaido, the Kinrin Lake Main Store is so popular that there are often lines even on weekdays, so plan your visit with plenty of time.
