Hamayoshi — Restaurant in Kurashiki

The food here was good, ingredients were of good quality and the overall flavour met expectations.

The reason stars were lost was because this restaurant uses a different menu for tourists. Where locals were ordering off the usual folders with written menus, we were given a blank piece of paper with a list of prices, and asked how much we wanted to pay. The cheapest on this list was 6,600 yen and it goes up to around 130,000 yen per person.

For the 6,600 menu, we got several cold dishes, a warm dish, soup, rice and dessert. The food was good, but on the whole, the menu felt expensive. The worst part was that I did not even get to try the food that we had come for, the vinegared fish. I'm certain that if we were allows to order a la carte, we would probably...

The food was just fair. I saw the reviews over tabelog, goggle and trip advisor before this trip and think this restaurant is worth going. However, I felt so disappointed after I get in the restaurant. Obviously this restaurant wasn’t a tourist-friendly restaurant as it gave a menu to me which is totally different from what I saw in tabelog/trip advisor/ goggle. It only provides 5 price range of menu which was totally out of my expectation. Finally I choose the middle range one and the food portion was small and taste was just normal. I DO feel being cheated as for this price range, I could go for a better restaurant for sure. I saw couple comment concerning the same issue for this restaurant here and just would like to add mine to alert...

We were looking for a restaurant that serves the infamous fish Okoze/Stonefish in Kurashiki. Went around the many restaurants here but was told they don’t serve this particular fish. Alas we found this hidden gem restaurant and we were really blown away by their delicious food!!! Do come and experience this authentic Kurashiki...
