Kirk here with a restaurant recommendation. I’m a fan of Indian cuisine and, fortunately, we have several good choices here in Kumamoto. One is called Surya and has locations in Tatsuda (in Kumamoto City’s North Ward) and Ozu. Here are the two addresses, which can be popped into Google maps to show you the location, regardless of whether or not you can read the Japanese text yourself:
Tatsuda: 熊本市北区龍田6-1-32
Ozu: 菊池郡大津町室176-4
Here’s the website from which I took the image and where I found the addresses: https://surya.storeinfo.jp
I’m prompted to write about Surya today because my wife and I noticed the Ozu restaurant on our way back from a drive to Aso the other day. I had resigned myself to a rather unremarkable meal at one of the fastfood chain restaurants on Highway 57 when my wife noticed Surya. By the time she realized that it might be the same restaurant that we knew from Tatsuda we had passed it so we had to double back – but it was well worth the trouble. As you return to Kumamoto City from Aso on Highway 57, it’s on the left side of the road.
