Yufuin Food | Yufumabushi Shin Clay-Pot Rice, Three Ways

When visiting Yufuin, you must try the exquisite flavors at ‘Yufumabushi Shin.’ Known for its unique clay-pot rice dishes and three eating styles. The restaurant has two branches in Yufuin: the main restaurant near Kinrinko Lake and the station-front branch near Yufuin Station, providing convenient options for visitors.
 
One of Yufuin’s specialties is the use of high-quality local ingredients. Here, the signature dish of 由布まぶし 心 is clay-pot rice, where you can taste rice cooked with the local ‘ひとめぼれ’ variety. This rice is known for its stickiness and natural sweetness, with each order cooked fresh to ensure every customer enjoys perfectly cooked rice. The three flavors are Bungo beef clay-pot rice, eel clay-pot rice, and local chicken clay-pot rice.
Bungo Beef Clay-Pot Rice: Made with Bungo beef, a specialty of Oita Prefecture, known for its tender meat and even distribution of fat, perfectly combined with the rice for a rich texture.
 
Local Chicken Clay-Pot Rice: Paired with ‘豊のシャモ’ from Oita Prefecture and herb chicken, offering a firm texture and tender meat.
 
Eel Clay-Pot Rice: Made with fresh eel, grilled over charcoal, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, complementing the rice beautifully.
 
These clay-pot rice dishes are cooked in clay pots and paired with ingredients grilled over charcoal, creating an aromatic experience. The Bungo beef clay-pot rice uses Bungo beef, a specialty of Oita Prefecture, known for its tender meat and even distribution of fat, melting in your mouth. The eel clay-pot rice uses eel from Kyushu, grilled over charcoal, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a unique flavor. The local chicken clay-pot rice uses ‘豊のシャモ’ from Oita Prefecture and herb chicken, combining firm and tender textures.
 
Among the most popular dishes is ‘Bungo Beef Mabushi.’ Bungo beef, as a brand of beef from Oita Prefecture, is famous for its charcoal aroma and rich beef flavor. Here, you can first taste it in its original form, then experience a variety of flavors by adding different condiments.
 
When tasting the clay-pot rice, the restaurant recommends three eating styles:
  1. Original Taste: First, taste the original flavor of the clay-pot rice to appreciate the freshness of the ingredients.
  2. Add condiments: Try yuzu kosho (yuzu chili paste), wasabi (Japanese horseradish), and pickles from the table for different layers of flavor.
  3. Broth Rice: Finally, pour the special broth over the clay-pot rice to transform it into broth rice, bringing a different texture experience.
 
This ‘one pot, three eating styles’ method allows diners to enjoy multiple flavors in one meal, adding to the dining pleasure.
Before these main dishes, you can enjoy appetizers carefully crafted by artisans. Whether it is Bungo beef mabushi or local chicken mabushi, each serving comes with appetizers, pickles, condiments, and red miso soup.
 
The restaurant also offers other options, such as the aromatic eel mabushi. When enjoying the main dish, you can first taste it plain, then add condiments or pour broth over it to create three eating styles.
 
The restaurant’s environment is warm and comfortable, decorated primarily in a Japanese style, creating a relaxing dining atmosphere. Due to the restaurant’s popularity, reservation rules vary by branch and time, so it is recommended to confirm by phone; for times when reservations are not possible, you can arrive before opening to wait.
 
由布まぶし 心, with its unique clay-pot rice dishes and various tasting methods, has become a must-try culinary recommendation in the Yufuin area. Whether you want to savor the tenderness of Bungo beef or experience the crispiness of eel, this place can satisfy your taste buds.
