  This is the restaurant where the famous Kumamoto dish "Taipi-en" originated. It gets crowded because both locals and tourists want to try the famous dish, but you can get a numbered ticket on the first floor and come back at the estimated time. The dish is made with a light seafood stock soup, topped with glass noodles and plenty of vegetables. During the summer, a version filled with lots of summer vegetables is available for a limited time only.

  The food was absolutely delightful, and the service staff were incredibly friendly. This restaurant would be a fantastic choice for a romantic date; the atmosphere was serene and relaxing. Interestingly, one of my Chinese classmates from Kumamoto University's Japanese class invited me to join them for dinner, and we ended up here. The moment I walked in, I realized it exuded an air of elegance and sophistication, perhaps tailored for business meetings with a formal dress code. I felt a bit self-conscious because I was dressed casually, but I didn't want to disrespect my classmate's invitation. What's even more amusing is that when we placed our orders, my classmate, who didn't speak any Japanese, was caught off guard. The waiter, seeing this, switched to English, which only made my classmate more anxious and pointed to me to take over. I nervously attempted to use my limited Japanese skills to put the waiter at ease. Despite the initial awkwardness, we had a great time, and the food was especially enjoyable for me since my classmate covered the bill. 🤣

  Korantei is located in the heart of the Shimotori shotengai. We went for dinner and opted for the set menu which was generous. The set menu had taipien which is a local Kumamoto specialty. Everything tasted amazing. I was slightly surprised by the anchovy fried rice. The service is perfect, great view of the shopping arcade. Arrive early on weekend, Korantei gets busy really fast.

  After sightseeing at the Kumamoto castle, we found this place, 10 minutes walk from the tourist area. We had to wait for around 25 minutes but it was worth it, the food was very good presented, the size of the portions, reasonable and everything was delicious. You also get a free pot of delicious cold tea with your meal. I would definitely go back. Reserve in advance if you want to avoid waiting.

  Had the clam taipien and the normal one, both teishoku. Had to add 100 yen for the clam seasonal one. There was 3 tiny clams in it, but the soup base was the same as the normal taipien. So don’t recommend changing it to the clam one, unless you really want to eat three tiny pieces of clams for 100 yen. The noodle in the soup was very little There wasn’t much queue maybe because we came early and on a working day. The restaurant is more classy than I expected, overall it was quite disappointing for me. If you look at the photo, can really tell the difference between clam and normal.
