Takeo Onsen Station Café Kairodo
Two of its ekiben-both winners of the Kyushu Ekiben Grand Prix-are absolute must-tries.
A café located inside Takeo Onsen Station on the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen line, offering a convenient place to relax while waiting for your train. Inside, you can enjoy treats such as gelato made with Amaou, a premium strawberry from Fukuoka known for its clean, refreshing sweetness. The café also serves full meals, including dishes like the Saga Beef Steak Sukiyaki-Style Set Meal.
The shop’s ekiben (station lunch boxes) are also a major draw. The Saga Beef Sukiyaki Bento, which won back-to-back titles in the 8th and 9th Kyushu Ekiben Grand Prix, is simmered to perfection and seasoned sukiyaki-style, allowing you to fully appreciate the rich flavor and tenderness of Saga beef.
Another bestseller is the Saga Beef Premium Kalbi Bento, winner of the 10th Kyushu Ekiben Grand Prix. It features top-quality kalbi and sliced beef, cooked to a fragrant, juicy finish with the shop’s original sauce.
Both bentos are luxurious selections that let you savor the full flavor of A5-grade Saga beef. They’re highly recommended purchases before boarding the Shinkansen.
