“Bungo cuisine” refers to the food culture that is rooted in the Oita metropolitan area, which consists of Oita City and seven surrounding cities (Beppu City, Usuki City, Tsukumi City, Takeda City, Bungo-Ono City, Yufu City, and Hijimachi). It is a creative dish that is devised by making use of the ingredients. The blessings and traditions of Oita and the creativity of the chefs combine to create new hospitality cuisine.

There is only one type that changes weekly, and this week’s dish is “wild sea bream bowl with raw egg.” There were two standard lunches: “Seafood Chirashi-zushi” and “Gindara Saikyoyaki”.
I couldn’t pass up the bowl of wild sea bream with raw egg, but I decided to order the “Gindara no Saikyoyaki,” which had the smell of a popular standard. It comes with a small side dish, chawanmushi, free refills of rice, pickled vegetables, and miso soup, making it 100 yen more expensive than others.

by beautifully grilled silver codfish, jaco, grated daikon radish, tamagoyaki, kinpira burdock, and pickled turnips. Hijiki, wheat gluten, and chawanmushi were served on separate plates. All of them had sophisticated seasonings but were very delicious. Pickled plums were added to the chawanmushi. The miso soup was also delicious with two large clams in it.
By the way, speaking of Saikyoyaki, there is a famous Kyoto kasuzuke specialty store in Ningyocho called “Uoku”. The Gindara Saikyoyaki I ate there was delicious, but the one at Japanese Restaurant Hiiragi was just as delicious.

the meal consists of a small bowl of fried tofu, pickled vegetables, and an egg wrapped in dashi soup.
The dashi rolled egg had a light flavor, a very elegant taste, and was very delicious.
It’s an oyster porridge, but it’s still quite bland and has an elegant seasoning.
Overall, it was a lunch where you could clearly see that the work was done with great care.
Next time, I would like to try Gindara’s Saikyoyaki.
