Sumibi Yakiniku Gyuren
Located in Tōkaichi Higashi, Miyoshi City, Sumibi Yakiniku Gyuren (Gankoya) is a specialty hub for kuroge wagyu beef, with the motto: “Kuroge wagyu must be grilled over charcoal.” The restaurant serves three premium Hiroshima beef brands-Hiroshima-gyu, Jinseki-gyu, and Hiba-gyu. The owner personally visits cattle auctions every month to purchase whole cattle, ensuring quality and authenticity with grading certificates. Only Hiroshima-raised female cattle, aged 28-30 months and graded A4 or higher, are selected, reflecting the restaurant’s uncompromising commitment to quality.
The meat quality is really good, with just the right amount of marbling. Grilling it brings out a rich aroma, and the charcoal flavor is a big plus. There are plenty of side dishes and sauces, so it doesn't get boring. The atmosphere is cozy and not too noisy, making it great for dinners with friends or date nights. Prices are moderate, and overall, it's a yakiniku place I'd definitely visit again.

Kuroshima Island (Nagasaki prefecture)
This island is 12km to the west of Sasebo City. It is 12.5km in diameter, and the biggest in Kujukushima Islands. The origin of the name of the island has various theories. but the prevalent theory is that the island looked black from the abundance of trees.
Besides the old church, Kuroshima Island offers lots of other activities and sights, like beaches, hiking trails, and cultural heritage spots.
You can try all kinds of outdoor activities here or just wander the island’s paths and feel its mysterious vibe.
