There's more! Recommendations from residents of Okayama Prefecture
[Sake Haru Ichizen]
Location: 5-12 Okayama Prefecture, Kita-ku , Okayama City, Kita Ward
●You can enjoy delicious food from Okayama. I recommend the salt-seared Spanish mackerel and the rolled omelet with Yellow Chives (Okayama Specialty)! (50s/Female/Office worker)
[Wayo Bizen Setouchi Takashimaya Okayama Store]
Location: 8th Floor, Okayama Prefecture Takashimaya, 6-40 Okayama, Kita-ku , Okayama City Kita Ward
●I actually used this restaurant when friends from outside the prefecture came to visit. There were quite a few of us and our time was limited, but it was very convenient because it's directly connected to Okayama Station, making meeting up and getting around easy. I chose it because I wanted my friends from outside the prefecture to try Okayama specialties, and they had a good selection of local dishes like ebimeshi (shrimp rice) and demi-katsu don (pork cutlet with demi-glace sauce), so everyone could choose according to their preferences. It's easy to use even for large groups and is recommended for meals during sightseeing. (40s/Female/Other)
[Suwaki Koraku Chinese Noodles Okayama Takashimaya Store]
Location: B1F, Okayama Prefecture Takashimaya, 6-40 Okayama , Kita Ward, Okayama City , Okayama Prefecture

[Hakata Ramen Nikoichi]
Location: B1F, Daiichi Central Building, 6-36 Okayama Prefecture, Kita Ward, Okayama City
●A pork bone broth made using the traditional "yobimodoshi" method, paired with thin noodles sourced from Hakata. Consistently delicious every time you visit. A representative pork bone ramen shop of Okayama. (50s/Male/Office worker)
[Oyster Hut Yamasho Suisan]
Location: 1-7-27 Ekimae-cho, Kita-ku , Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture Kita Ward
●I was so captivated by the deliciousness of the large, locally sourced oysters that I ate my fill of them with beer! It was the first time I'd ever eaten so many oysters at once, and it was great value for money! (50s/Male/Office worker)

[Sanuki no Otoko Sun Station Terrace Okayama Store]
Location: 1st Floor , Sun Station Terrace Okayama Kita Ward , 1-1 Ekimae-cho, Kita Okayama City Okayama Prefecture Prefecture
●Located inside JR Okayama Station, it's convenient to stop by even for a short while, such as when transferring trains. My recommendation is the Bukkake Udon, which, as the name "Otoko Udon" (Man Udon) suggests, has a firm, chewy texture. It's great that the price doesn't change even for a large serving. (40s/Male/Office Worker)

Location: 1-1 Ekimae-cho, Kita-ku, Okayama Prefecture Okayama City Kita Ward, Okayama IchiBanGai shopping center

I recommend it because it's reasonably priced and you can eat Okayama's local specialties. (50s/Male/Company Employee)
【Lasten aika】
Location: 1-4-10 Okayama Prefecture, Kita Kita Ward, Okayama City, Hokancho
