Hitoyoshi, Japan
Kijiya
Kijiya places Hitoyoshi’s regional cooking in a narrower lane than the city’s better-known unagi and sushi addresses: pheasant, local setting, and a house-restaurant format built around sourcing rather than polish. Its 2025 Tabelog 100 selection for chicken cuisine gives it a national signal, while the appeal remains grounded in Kumamoto’s inland food culture.
