[Yufuin] The Awase-bako and Bungo beef of Yufuin Sanshoro (山椒郎)
The most impressive item here is the lunch ‘Awase-bako’ (composed meal box). It is divided into ‘Mountain’ and ‘Sea’ versions. When you open the lid, it looks like a meticulously arranged small landscape inside: over twenty types of local Yufuin vegetables, each treated according to its characteristics—some are stir-fried to maintain a crisp texture, some are slow-cooked to absorb flavor, and others are dressed or grilled. The colors are vibrant and the plating is delicate, as if the colors of the season have been packed into a box. The Mountain version is usually paired with small pieces of Bungo beef and Kanmuri Jidori chicken; the Sea version features seasonal fish. It also comes with small side dishes, pickles, and miso soup. Many say the point of this box is not the large quantity, but that the texture and sweetness of every bite of vegetable are different, leaving a refreshing taste in the mouth after finishing.
For dinner, set meals featuring either local chicken or Bungo beef are provided, consisting of about eight to ten courses. Aside from the sashimi and main dishes, most courses remain centered on vegetables. Chef Kenichi Shin’e has ties to the ‘Seven Stars in Kyushu’ train cuisine, and his cooking emphasizes the natural flavor of the ingredients rather than heavy seasoning. Vegetables in Yufuin are delivered daily from contracted farms, ensuring high freshness, and the cooking methods change according to the season.
