Yabuju

Some diners come to Yabuju for its katsudon, with the cutlet thoroughly covered in softly cooked egg. Reviewers have remarked on the cutlets arranged around the bowl and the generous amount of egg; others say the hearty serving left them full. The menu lists regular katsudon at ¥950 and premium at ¥1,150, with the larger premium option worth considering if you have a good appetite. One diner also remembered the clear soup served with the katsudon, rounding out a meal centred on the rice bowl.

For soba, curry nanban and duck seiro are options to consider. One detailed account of the curry nanban describes a piping-hot, thickened broth with a noticeable soba-tsuyu flavour, onion and pork. The menu lists curry nanban at ¥900 and duck seiro at ¥800. With rice bowls, soba and udon to choose from, there is plenty of variety for lunch or a solo meal.
