About this spot

Tsuyama is renowned nationwide for its high hormon (offal) consumption, and "Hormon Udon"—beef offal and vegetables stir-fried in a sweet-spicy miso sauce—is a signature B-grade gourmet dish representing Tsuyama. Around Tsuyama Station, restaurants ranging from long-established establishments to casual eateries serve Hormon Udon. On the festival day, crowds increase from evening onward, so it's wise to complete your meal before heading to the fireworks venue. Eating well in advance means you can leisurely enjoy the fireworks by the waterside. Savor Tsuyama's summer castle-town flavors as the perfect finish to your gourmet experience.

Tips
