Yuzuan Restaurant

ゆず庵 via Google Maps

Step into the delightfully eccentric world of Yuzuan, a legendary roadside eatery where a parking lot full of vintage Cadillacs and handmade Ghibli Catbuses only hints at the whimsy inside. Beneath giant suspended dragons and statue-lined dining halls, guests peruse newspaper-style menus offering serious Kochi comfort food alongside unforgettable novelties. The kitchen excels at enormous fried jumbo shrimp, rich demi-glace omurice, and fresh katsuo no tataki—as well as the infamous bonito ice cream sundae garnished with raw garlic and sea salt. It is a one-of-a-kind roadside stop that seamlessly merges outsider art collection with hearty regional dining.
