Founded in 1989 as a specialty Aigamo duck restaurant, it has since become a well-kept culinary secret where foodies from all over the country gather. Today, it is famous for purchasing whole &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; pigs\u2014an exceptionally rare, premium brand of pork with extremely low production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant is situated in a peaceful area of Ukiha City, a town celebrated for its fruit orchards and historic white-walled streets. Nestled in a quiet suburban environment, it serves as a relaxing haven for both locals and tourists, offering exquisite meat dishes born from the owner-chef&#8217;s uncompromising culinary philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"highlights-of-yoshii-tohachi\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Highlights_of_Yoshii_Tohachi\"><\/span>Highlights of Yoshii Tohachi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant&#8217;s greatest charm is its tranquil Japanese-style space, where you can take your time savoring delicious meats. The dining area features comfortable tatami-mat seating, creating a nostalgic, homey atmosphere. Guests can relax and enjoy their meals and drinks just as if they were lounging in their own homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main dishes are the &#8220;Kamo Nabe&#8221; (Duck Hot Pot), which has boasted steadfast popularity since the restaurant&#8217;s founding, along with Shabu-Shabu and Tonkatsu (breaded deep-fried pork) made with &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; pork. The Kamo Nabe offers a sensual, mouthwatering experience where moist Aigamo duck intertwines with a special soy sauce and bonito-based broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; Tonkatsu is made with extraordinary dedication. Instead of using a standard deep fryer, each piece is slowly fried in a pot for 15 minutes using a custom blend of Tokyo X lard and cottonseed oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-liquid-speech-balloon liquid-speech-balloon-wrap liquid-speech-balloon-00\"><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-avatar\"><\/div><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-text\"><p>This meticulous process ensures the ultimate tenderness and allows the natural sweetness of the fat to fill your mouth.<\/p><div class=\"liquid-speech-balloon-arrow\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"spot-middle-banner-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryokan-book.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MG_5902-scaled.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-enjoy-your-visit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enjoy_Your_Visit\"><\/span><strong>How to Enjoy Your Visit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a 10-minute scenic stroll south from JR Chikugo-Yoshii Station, or drive about 20 minutes from the Asakura Interchange, and you will arrive at the restaurant amidst the idyllic landscapes of Yoshiimachi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once inside, start by choosing a dish from their proud meat menu. The most popular choice is the &#8220;Kamo Nabe,&#8221; featuring a delicious taste that has remained unchanged since the restaurant opened. Another standout is the &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; Shabu-Shabu\u2014a phantom pork dish so good you&#8217;ll want endless refills. If you visit for lunch, the &#8220;Tonkatsu Set Meal&#8221; (reservation required)\u2014where the meat is hand-cut slice by slice and slowly fried\u2014is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To accompany the exquisite meat, there is an extensive selection of alcoholic beverages. Delightfully, the restaurant is equipped with a wine cellar, allowing for luxurious pairings such as red wine with Aigamo duck dishes and white wine with &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; pork. For the true connoisseur experience, discreetly ask the proprietress about rare, off-menu spirits to find your perfect glass and enjoy a personalized pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the restaurant opens at 11:30 AM on weekdays and 12:00 PM on Sundays, it is the perfect spot to indulge in premium &#8220;Tokyo X&#8221; pork for lunch during your sightseeing trip in Ukiha. Because some menu items require advance notice, reservations are highly recommended to ensure you get to taste this phantom pork. They also offer takeout options for their premium meats. Whether it&#8217;s the main event of your Ukiha tour or a meal for a special occasion, this is a truly exceptional destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"basic-information\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Information\"><\/span><strong>Basic Information<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Name<\/strong>:Yoshii Tohachi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Operating Hours<\/strong>:Weekdays 11:30\u201321:00 (L.O.) \/ Sundays 12:00\u201321:00 (L.O.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Closed<\/strong>: \u00a0Wednesdays<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Estimated Price<\/strong>: Kamo Nabe, Shabu-Shabu, etc. budget from 3,000 yen \/ Tonkatsu Set Meal 3,300 yen (Reservation required), etc. *No table charge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Parking<\/strong>: Available<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"access\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access\"><\/span>Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3333.266632986973!2d130.7485736!3d33.3379833!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x3541732f86c18571%3A0xf6dd806b07c219f0!2z5ZCJ5LqV5Y2B5YWr!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sjp!4v1776307779676!5m2!1sen!2sjp\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Address:<\/strong> 102-5 Fukumasu, Yoshiimachi, Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>By Train:<\/strong> About a 10-minute walk from JR &#8220;Chikugo-Yoshii Station&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u30fb<strong>Car:<\/strong> About a 20-minute drive from &#8220;Asakura IC&#8221; on the Oita Expressway<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0What Is Yoshii Tohachi? &#8220;Yoshii Tohachi&#8221; is a renowned restaurant specializing in Aigamo duck and pork dishes, located in Yoshiimachi, Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
