[2025 Aso Restaurant] Travel Guide for Imakin Shokudo (Updated Jun)

Peaceful city with delicious & fresh sushi and gyudon that I’ve ever had. You might need a car to travel around because it’s so quiet and kind of scary at night, you probably don’t really want to walk. No people on the street after 6 p.m. They are all in the restaurants or their house. The hotel price is very reasonable. The beds are cozy and they adjust the room area very well. #travel #familytravel #localfood

When I went to Kumamoto, I went to the super famous "Aka beef bowl" restaurant 🐮 There are always customers from all over the country, and even on weekdays there is a line 😳 I was prepared because it was past opening time, but I also waited for almost an hour 😅 Even so, the wait time was shorter than I expected, because a second store had opened nearby When I arrived at the store, I told the receptionist my name, and they told me about what time it would be, but I think it would almost certainly be past that time The food was served pretty quickly after I ordered ☺️ ▶︎Aka beef bowl and karakon set... 2,300 yen The soft medium rare Aka beef and the rich sauce go really well together◎ It was very delicious, even when eaten with wasabi or Aka beef miso ❤️ It was also very filling ❣️ The set of Kumamoto's specialty, mustard lotus root, is a good deal It's also perfect as a snack with alcohol ♪ Restaurant Imakin Shokudo [Address] 290 Uchimaki, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture [Closed] Wednesdays [Open] 10:00-16:00 (reception closes) [Parking] Available #KumamotoTrip #KumamotoTourism #KumamotoGourmet #KumamotoSpecialty #EnjoyJapan

If you are visiting Kyushu, stop by Aso and I recommend Akaushi don, a famous red beef rice bowl restaurant in Aso. You can get a queue number and wait for about an hour, but it is worth the wait. The restaurant is called Imakin Shokudo. The queue may be long, but you can walk around the city while you are waiting. For those who rent a car, you can park across from the restaurant, but there is a small fee. Imakin Shokudo https://maps.app.goo.gl/dxpSeHwvvXRcB2sZ9?

Imakin Shokudo Restaurant 290 Uchimaki, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, 869-2301 About 1 hour and 15 minutes by car from Kumamoto Station Parking available Located in the center of Uchimaki Onsen, a representative hot spring town in Aso. This popular restaurant is famous for its Akagyudon, and there is a line. I arrived 30 minutes before opening time, but they said they opened a little early that day. You will be given a numbered ticket, so you can walk around the hot spring town until your turn comes. There are Showa retro shops and a large chair object, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of the hot spring town. The meat in Akagyudon is lean. The sweet and spicy sauce goes very well with the meat. It is just the right amount of soft, and when mixed with the egg, it becomes mellow. In addition to Akagyudon, there are also hamburgers, fried rice, soba, and udon on the menu, so I think there are dishes that even people who don't like raw meat can eat. Depending on the time you visit, there may be a line, so it is recommended for those who have time. #Travel with Me #Kumamoto Tourism #Kumamoto #Kumamoto Gourmet
