πŸ“Œ What You’ll Find in This Article
A firsthand report from a Sarukuma writer who visited “Kanoya” in Koshi City, Kumamoto. We cover family-friendly tips, access, and opening hours.

Today we’re heading just outside central Kumamoto to introduce Kanoya, a hidden-gem family restaurant tucked away in Nonoshima, Koshi City.

Don’t let the suburban location fool you β€” this place serves up everything from incredibly fresh seafood to mouthwatering hamburger steaks made with high-quality meat (the restaurant is run by a butcher!), making it a fantastic stop for travelers exploring the Kumamoto countryside.

Recommended Menu Items

 

Our top pick is the Seasonal Seafood Bowl (Kaisen-don).

It’s piled high with an incredible variety of fresh sashimi β€” and just when you think you’ve reached the bottom of the bowl, you’ll discover even more fish hidden underneath the top layer! Don’t miss the silky chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard) on the side either β€” it’s a delicious complement to the seafood.
