Even though Japanese food is delicious, you may not want to eat it every single day. The good news is Kumamoto has a number of restaurants serving international cuisine from all over the world.<\/p>\n
If you fancy a steak, look no further than Mampukutei. Since this is a specialty restaurant, expect all of the cuts to be prepared to perfection. As it\u2019s only a small establishment (with just one table and some bar seating), it\u2019s worth making a reservation. Perhaps plan to fit in a visit when you\u2019re in the Kogai shopping district.<\/p>\n
Where:<\/strong> 8-37 Higashi Kokai-machi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) Another spot with meaty options is Restaurant Cow Bell. Here, you\u2019ll find all sorts of steak dishes (available with your choice of sauce) as well as the signature pork bowl and a daily lunch special. Accompaniments range from Japanese (like miso soup) to international (like kimchi).<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 6-3-54 Sakuragi, Higashi Ward (map<\/a>) Located next to the Kase River and close to Lake Etsu, Open Terrace Kokyo offers a beautiful setting to enjoy a high-end Italian meal. This is a top choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with options including pasta, cold soup, meat, and fish. All the dishes have stunning presentation, which makes them ideal for photos \u2014 the staff will also be more than willing to take your photo with your food.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 6-73 Kuwamizu-honmachi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) Of course, Italian food isn\u2019t just for fine dining. Jolly Pasta is a chain restaurant where you can enjoy pizza, pasta, seafood, and wine for an affordable price in a relaxed atmosphere. You order with a touchscreen, which makes the service extra fast, including if you arrive late in the evening.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 2-14-1 Kami-kumamoto, Nishi Ward (map<\/a>) Another chain restaurant in Kumamoto is Royal Host, which is particularly ideal for families. If you miss western-style breakfasts, order pancakes or the morning plate: it has toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, and potatoes. For later in the day, there are options like club sandwiches, chicken steak, and hamburger stew.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 10-62 Hotakubo-honmachi, Higashi Ward (map<\/a>) You may think it\u2019s impossible to find authentic Mexican food anywhere in Japan, but Tortacos will prove you wrong. The restaurant serves delicious tacos (including vegetarian and vegan options) with all the extras \u2014 guacamole, beans, and chips. Plus, its extensive drinks menu includes Mexican beers and margaritas.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 73 Renpeicho, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) Although Kumamoto is only a small city, you should be able to find a restaurant serving whatever type of cuisine you\u2019re craving.<\/p>\n Comyu<\/a>, CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Even though Japanese food is delicious, you may not want to eat it every single day.
