A 5-minute walk from Yui Rail Line Kencho-mae Station, Niku Kumochi is located behind Kokusai Street.

The recommended dish is the 'Agu Pork Platter,' which includes belly, loin, and sausage of Agu pork, all enjoyed as Yakiniku. While Agu pork is often eaten as Shabu-Shabu (boiled meat slices), grilling it brings out its rich Umami (sweet fat) and juiciness to an astonishing degree.
