Go

Located on Sakaecho, the restaurant "Go" offers a taste of traditional Japanese cuisine in Miyakonojo. It's a modest establishment featuring a counter and three small tables, making for an intimate dining experience that can accommodate around 20 people at full capacity. While the precise operating hours are unknown, this cozy spot is noted for its genuine, down-to-earth atmosphere and dishes that locals seem to appreciate.

The menu at Go showcases a variety of Japanese offerings, particularly featuring fresh chicken sashimi with options like tataki and sasami available. Diners can enjoy these delicacies paired with either locally sweet or regular soy sauce, often accompanied by ginger. Visitors have also enjoyed the diverse selection of local seafood, including seasonal items such as rock oysters. The establishment's appeal is further enhanced by the use of homegrown vegetables from the owner's personal garden.

Patrons looking for soul food indicative of the region might find interest in the soft, miso-rich pork cartilage stew known as "nankotsu no nikomi," which pairs well with shochu. Although reviews left by visitors were positive, they date back eight years, highlighting the absence of recent updates directly from the owners or new patrons. This lack of current information may be worth noting for potential new guests planning a visit.
