Why go

Horse-meat sashimi, Kumamoto’s best-known dish. Suganoya’s Kumamoto Station shop serves lunch 11:00–15:00 (last order 14:30) with no closing days; a five-kind basashi platter is ¥2,590 and the lunch set ¥2,980. Same-day and weekend tables are walk-in only. It is the one sit-down meal you can fit between the Shinkansen and the castle without a tram.

Before you count on it
  • 4 hr door to door needs a 6-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
