Roadside Station Kushima Pre-opening

Pre-opening on April 24, 2021
Miyazaki Prefecture's southernmost roadside station

Pre-opening on April 24, 2021 at a location near JR Kushima Station. In addition to the "Umiyama Marche" product center, there will be a "Umiyama Shokudo" restaurant, a "Sushi Tora" conveyor belt sushi restaurant, and a "POTATO STAND" take-out store, etc. A civic exchange facility and event plaza are scheduled to be completed for the grand opening in 2022.

The product hall is lined with souvenirs from Miyazaki and agricultural and marine products from Kushima City, with the most eye-catching being Kurose Buri. Kurose Buri is a brand of yellowtail that is cultivated in Shibushi Bay and landed in Kushima City. In addition to sashimi, the Kurose Buri corner sells frozen blocks of yellowtail, yellowtail kama, yellowtail arabesque, and other items. All are pre-processed, so they are easy to prepare right out of the packet.

A menu item of note at Umiyama Shokudo is the "Kushima Ikusame Buri Puri Donburi" (1,100 yen), which was created as a local gourmet dish. The rules include using at least 100 grams of live-clawed yellowtail produced in Kushima City, using at least five local seasonal vegetables, and serving the dish with yellowtail "ara-jiru. Umiyama Shokudo offers five kinds of sauce for this bowl: sashimi soy sauce, spicy miso sauce, sesame miso sauce, onion soy sauce sauce, and onion salt sauce. Enjoy the change of flavors as you pour a little at a time.
Another popular product is "yakimo soft serve ice cream" (450 yen) made from sweet potatoes, another local specialty. The ice cream is made by kneading sweet potato paste produced in Kushima City into milk soft serve ice cream, which is thick and rich in sweet potato flavor. It is a must-try dessert.
