Aoba Kurobuta & Local Cuisine
黒豚と郷土料理 青葉
A Kurobuta pork restaurant steps from Ibusuki Station, known as the place to try Onsen Tamago Don, Ibusuki's signature local rice bowl. Open for lunch and dinner.
Located beside JR Ibusuki Station, a one- or two-minute walk away, this is one of Ibusuki's most recommended local-cuisine restaurants. Its signature is the Onsen Tamago Don, Ibusuki's local rice bowl: an onsen egg cooked in sand-steamed hot spring water, served with Kurobuta pork in a secret sauce. The official lunch price is ¥1,180. Other dishes include Satsuma Rokuhaku Kurobuta shabu-shabu, Kurobuta tonkatsu, and Satsuma black chicken sashimi. Tabelog rating is about 3.47. Lunch costs about ¥1,000–2,000 per person; dinner costs more with shabu-shabu and drinks. Waits are common at peak meal times, so reserving for dinner is recommended. Closed on Wednesdays.
Opening hours
11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (last order 2:30 p.m.); 5:30–10:00 p.m. (last order 9:30 p.m.); closed Wednesdays
