This informal eatery in the heart of Okayama is a local institution, popular for its specialty, homemade tofu. There's no problem ordering, as it serves only two teishoku (set meals), both with soup, rice, and pickled vegetables: the Okabe teishoku with two kinds of tofu, the other a donburi (rice bowl) topped with namayuba, a kind of tofu. Seating is along one long counter, behind which an army of women scurry to get out orders. It's simple but atmospheric.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
