Frommer's Review

Located just outside the entrance to Korakuen Garden (its name translates as "Four Seasons of Color"), this modern restaurant is decorated with Bizen pottery and Japanese ikebana and is a good place to try Okayama specialties for lunch, including barazushi (¥1,575/$13/£6.50) and seasonal dishes such as nabe (a one-pot stew eaten in winter), sea eel (anago), and mini-kaiseki meals, as well as soba and udon noodles. The menu is written in Japanese only, so look at what others are eating. Top it off with Doppo, a locally brewed beer.

About Our System

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.
