Kagoshima


Come here to try Kagoshima black pork at an affordable price. It's served several ways: shabu-shabu dipped in delectable broth with minced green onion; with black vinegar; kakuni (pork belly); and (the best way) atop humble tofu. Try house-made soba, which comes with most shabu-shabu meals; fried, local kibinago (slender sprat); and the amazingly zingy condiment yuzu-kosho (citron-pepper paste).

Lunch sets, from ¥880, are a great deal.

It's all modern, busy and cheery on the 2nd floor, with some seats overlooking the shopping arcade.
