[2025 Hita Restaurant] Travel Guide for Hitamabushisenya (Updated Jul)

Hita, a small city near Fukuoka, has the advantage of being closer than the commonly visited Yufuin or Beppu. It is a region famous for yakisoba, but it is also famous for eel rice bowls. There are other eel rice bowl restaurants nearby, but Hitamabushi Senya has a lot of eel! I ate a large size, but the amount is very large.. When I ate, it was 4,800 yen. The eel bones are salty, but they are perfect as a drinking snack. #HitaTravel #HitaRestaurants

📍Hitamabushi Senya 4-14 Mamedamachi, Hita, Oita 877-0005 Japan It's a small town, but if there's a restaurant with a waiting line!? That's proof that it's a great restaurant. Today's Hita restaurant. This is the kind of place it is. The food that will welcome you is 'Eel Donburi'. It's not your ordinary 'Eel Donburi'. It's a dish that originated from Nagoya's traditional food 'Hitsumabushi'. It's a dish that puts white rice in a round 'wooden tub' and tops it with finely chopped grilled eel. The 'Eel Donburi' in one tub is divided into four parts. You can enjoy each with a different taste. #JapanTravel

Come back 1 hour later to eat. The prices are relatively cheap compared to downtown, and the portions are not small. They do not sell alcohol, but they do sell beer, which is alcohol-free. Boiled eel liver sashimi is a delicacy, and you will feel hot after eating just one piece. You can add additional seasoning separately to taste. Be sure to visit the soy sauce shop nearby. The soy sauce and mirin are very good.
