MIYATSU 382 – A Local Favorite in Kashima City

The first cafe on our list is MIYATSU 382, located in Kashima City, Saga. Known for using fresh local ingredients, the menu offers a healthy variety of dishes that both locals and visitors love.

When I visited, I tried the Saga Beef Steak Bowl (¥1,250). The tender Saga beef, paired with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce, created a refreshing flavor that was surprisingly light yet satisfying—especially popular among female guests.

The interior is bright and welcoming, thanks to its glass-paneled design that lets in plenty of natural light. At night, the cafe transforms into a bar and stays open until 10:30 pm, with shelves lined with local sake adding to its cozy atmosphere.

If you’re ever in Kashima, MIYATSU 382 is definitely worth a visit.
