Route10 — Restaurant in Beppu

What a gem! We wandered into this place (it's tiny) and were welcomed by the staff. Atmosphere is amazing; classic jazz playing and associated decor (Dexter Gordon & Miles Davis photos and a framed Birdland t-shirt). The small size does not correspond to the liquor selection, which is huge, or menu offerings, which are very varied. Every drink and every dish we tried was STELLAR. The sardines in oil were a revelation; the free appetizer (asparagus, broccoli, tomato) was perfectly prepared, and our mains (Japanese curry, rib roast steak, and honey mustard chicken) were superb!!! I cannot give this place...

Eye-watering assortment of whiskeys, from regional to internationally known to premiums you wouldn't conveniently find in Europe. Cocktails are classy and well-made (they pick great stuff if you wish for adjustments). They're well known for their homemade curry, absolutely a must and the best JP style curry I ever had. Personnel is really warm, forthcoming and knowledgeable. Will definetly come back. Recommended it to my friends, who will come in March. Thanks for this...

Route 10 is a beautiful bar in the downtown Beppu area. We did not have a reservation and were lucky to get seats at the bar.

Everyone at Route10 was so friendly and the bar was stunning. When I next visit Beppu, I will try the food as I’m sure that is high quality as well. Overall -...
