Obiten Kura: A local treat in Obi Castle Town

While strolling through Obi Castle Town in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture, we stopped by Obi Tenzo. The chalkboard-clad building is reminiscent of a merchant's house from the Edo period, blending perfectly into the historic townscape. Here you can enjoy freshly fried Obiten. Made by adding tofu to fish paste and deep-frying it, it has a soft and fluffy texture. There are also a wide variety of tempura, such as burdock tempura and pickled ginger tempura, and each one costs around 300 yen, making it easy to sample while walking around. The store also has a corner selling local specialties and souvenirs, so you can even take home a taste of Miyazaki. It's the perfect place to satisfy your hunger while sightseeing or look for souvenirs.
