Bistoro ing: A Hidden Western-Style Eatery in a Kumamoto Neighborhood β Don’t Miss the Curry Lunch!
2020.03.04

A Sarukuma writer pays a real visit to “Bistoro ing,” tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood of Kumamoto City. We cover family-friendly tips, how to get there, and what to expect on the menu.
Today we’re heading to a charming local gem:
“Bistoro ing,” located in Kamidai, Nishi Ward, Kumamoto City.

You’ll find this cozy little restaurant just one street off Route 28, nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood β the kind of spot you’d never stumble upon by accident.
Recommended Menu

From a tempting selection of yoshoku-style (Japanese-Western fusion) dishes, we went with the Cheese Hamburger Curry β and it did not disappoint!

The set comes with a small side salad, clear Japanese soup, and yogurt for dessert β a wonderful balance.
The hamburger steak was so tender it broke apart with the gentle press of a spoon,
and the curry had that classic, rich “yoshoku-style” depth β
beautifully spiced and absolutely delicious.
What a satisfying meal!
From central Kumamoto City, head west on Route 28, and at the intersection with the 7-Eleven, look for this sign β
then turn right.
Keep going for a short distance, and the restaurant will appear on your route.
Parking is laid out as shown below:
Refer to the map above.
Lunchtime tends to get busy, so we recommend carpooling if you’re visiting with a group!
