However, as soon as they noticed me, they quickly turned on the lights. I ordered the Oita specialty, the "tori-ten teishoku" for 1080 yen. The chicken was juicy and delicious despite being lean, and the mixed rice was also tasty. It was a hit!

Today, near the Chojahara intersection, there were a lot of tourists, but we still managed to have a peaceful lunch. Once again, I ordered the pork cutlet bowl, which is simply delicious with its humble flavor. The prices may be a bit high, but it's worth it to be able to sit down and enjoy a tasty meal without waiting. It's like the rumored "drive stay" option. Highly recommended for a rest stop during a drive.
