Origin

Origin is a casual and cozy restaurant nestled in Uemachi, offering a unique experience not far from the city center of Hyuga. Though finding it might be a small adventure—since there's no prominent signage to guide you—the second floor space provides a charming escape with a distinctive flair for customers seeking something different. The establishment is run by a surf-loving couple, adding to its intriguing atmosphere.

The restaurant is well-suited for dinner gatherings, especially for groups, with options for small plates and a menu that aligns well with their selection of Japanese and Western-style drinks, including cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits. Origin features a bar onsite and offers comfortable seating options, such as counters and several private rooms. For larger groups, these private rooms can be linked together, providing flexibility for bigger gatherings.

Operating daily from 7 PM to 11 PM, Origin invites reservations and accepts credit and Rakuten Pay for convenience. However, potential visitors should note the absence of wheelchair accessibility at the entrance and car park. Despite relatively older reviews available from patrons who appreciated the ambience and cuisine, current details from the owners are limited, suggesting potential changes or enhancements might occur over time.
