[A little luxurious lunch on a drive to Itoshima] A restaurant serving delicious, hearty, melt-in-your-mouth roast beef
Hello! I'm Hakata Aya, a writer who shares the hottest information about Fukuoka.
This time we will introduce a notable lunch spot that opened in the Itoshima area in 2024. It is a stylish restaurant that is tucked away on a quiet street a little way from the seaside.
A must-visit on a drive to Itoshima! "UMEYA" is a restaurant that looks like an art gallery (Nishiura, Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City)
Umeya is located in Nishiura, Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City, a little before Futamigaura, if you head from Fukuoka towards Itoshima on Prefectural Route 54, which runs along the coastline of the Itoshima Peninsula.
The sophisticated building and the cuisine packed with the bounty of Itoshima have been attracting attention, and more and more people are stopping by as a destination when sightseeing in Itoshima.
The first thing that catches your eye is the exterior, which looks as if it came straight out of a magazine! With such a modern building suddenly appearing in a corner of a residential area, you'll find yourself stopping in your tracks and wondering, "What is this place?"

By the way, the Showa Bus Nishinoura bus stop is located very close to the store, and you can also get there by taking the direct, non-stop "West Coast Liner" from Tenjin or Hakata Station.
The Itoshima area has the image of being difficult to get to without a car, but it's actually very convenient to access.
The interior of the restaurant is modern Japanese, with a warm wooden feel that makes it comfortable and makes you want to stay for a while. There are also counter seats, making it an easy space to dine alone.

The seats are spaced far apart and chairs for children are also available, making it a great place for families or mommy friends to gather.

Itoshima beef melts in your mouth! A luxurious roast beef bowl "Yamano Gochiso"
The lunch menu includes delicacies from each of the three regions: Port, Mountain, Sea, and Countryside.
This time, I had the roast beef bento "Yamano Gochiso" (2,500 yen), which is made with a generous amount of Itoshima beef, a brand of beef that Itoshima is proud of.

It makes a great impact from the look!

The thickly sliced roast beef is so tender that it melts in your mouth the moment you put it in, and goes perfectly with the sweet special sauce!

The trio of "rice x meat x sauce" will capture the hearts of meat lovers!

It's like a treasure box of the sea! "Umino Gochiso" is a colorful rice bowl topped with seafood from the Genkai Sea.
This is the "Umino Gochiso" (2,500 yen), a rice bowl topped with plenty of fresh seafood caught in the Genkai Sea.
The visual of the colorful ingredients lined up is spectacular!

One of the fun things about this restaurant is that the ingredients change depending on what's in stock that day. The shadows of the patterns carved into the tiered lunch boxes cast on the table are a beautiful and photogenic sight.

It is served with specially selected sesame and soy sauce sauce.

Every bite was filled with a satisfying taste, and you could really taste the "feast of the sea."

Don't miss the sweets! Strawberry Mont Blanc and Japanese Monaka Ice Cream
After the meal, take a break with a "Strawberry Mont Blanc" (900 yen).

The sweetness of the soft strawberry scent and the sourness of the fruit inside are perfectly balanced, so you'll finish it in no time! Another popular menu item is the "Matcha Mont Blanc" (900 yen).

There is also ice cream served with monaka wafers, and three varieties are available: "vanilla," "matcha," and "black sesame" (500 yen each).

The mochi is shaped like a sea bream and looks really cute! The fragrant black sesame ice cream was refreshing and perfect after a meal.

Enjoy your time in Itoshima by staying overnight! The second floor is the accommodation space "TSUMUGU"
In fact, if you enter from the entrance next to "UMEYA", the second floor is a lodging facility called "TSUMUGU".
Image: Hakata Aya.
There are four guest rooms with open-air baths, and the hotel is gaining popularity among women on trips with friends and families. You can enjoy delicious food and a relaxing time while touring Itoshima.
