Hachiku
A neighborhood diner tucked into a residential area of Benten, Oita City — a Showa-era institution. The flagship Hachiku Teishoku (850 yen) features sashimi, karaage, kobachi, rice, miso soup, and pickles — extraordinary value. The compact interior (5 tables and raised tatami) fills with local regulars every day; delivery also available. Google Maps 224 reviews, 4.4 stars (ranked 10th in Nettarabo's Google Reviews Oita Prefecture Teishoku ranking, Dec 2024). The operating style (closed Sun/holidays, closes at 7pm) signals this is squarely a locals-only place.
