Owada Sushi
A representative sushi restaurant in Beppu founded in 1977, a 5-minute walk from Beppu Station. Acclaimed as 'unbeatable value at this price'—fresh nigiri featuring Seki-aji, Seki-saba, and other natural fish from the Bungo Channel for around 5,000–6,000 yen. The owner visits the market twice a day for freshness. Equivalent to Michelin Bib Gourmand, ranked #1 sushi in Beppu on Tabelog.
Tabelog 3.67, 624 reviews. TripAdvisor 4.1, 88 reviews. Many are astonished that Seki-aji can be enjoyed at such prices. 'Eating sushi alongside locals is a special experience' and 'A must-visit every time I come to Beppu' are common sentiments. Reservations are consistently hard to get.
