General Info

Located at 1 Chome-7-20 Sanbonmatsu, Hita, Oita 877-0016, Japan, Sofuren Sanbonmatsu (Ten) is one of those local spots that quietly earns its reputation through consistency, flavor, and an unmistakable sense of place. This yakisoba restaurant focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well, and the moment you step in, that confidence is clear. The space feels practical and welcoming, designed for people who come hungry and leave satisfied.

The menu centers around their signature yakisoba, especially the much-loved すたみな焼きそば and スタミナ焼きそば, both known for their rich aroma, crisp noodles, and savory depth. The noodles arrive hot, lightly charred, and coated in a sauce that balances sweetness and umami without feeling heavy. Each bite feels intentional, which explains why locals often recommend it in reviews as a must-try when exploring dining locations in Hita.

Alongside the noodles, 一口餃子 plays a supporting but memorable role. These bite-sized dumplings are easy to share, lightly crisp on the outside, and juicy inside. They pair naturally with the yakisoba, adding contrast without stealing the spotlight. For those looking for balance, the B Set Salad brings freshness to the table, offering a clean, simple break between richer bites. Meanwhile, the 想夫恋焼セットのスープ rounds out the meal with warmth and comfort, tying everything together in a way that feels thoughtful rather than excessive.

Service at Sofuren Sanbonmatsu (Ten) is straightforward and efficient. The restaurant offers delivery, which is convenient for locals who want the same flavors at home. Accessibility is clearly considered, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and a wheelchair-accessible car park available. Practical details like a free parking lot and a cash-only payment policy are clearly part of how the restaurant keeps things running smoothly.

What stands out most is how genuine the experience feels. This isn’t a flashy diner chasing trends. Instead, it’s a yakisoba restaurant that knows its craft, respects its customers, and delivers food that speaks for itself. From the focused menu to the no-nonsense service, every visit feels grounded, reliable, and deeply satisfying-exactly the kind of place people return to again and again.

What customers say?

“ 由布院から福岡に移動する途中になにかご当地名物が食べたくなり、せっかくなら本店をと思い利用しました。 幸いカウンター席が空いていてすぐに案内していただけましたが、途中大将から、カウンター席暑いから席移っていいですよとお気遣いいただくハートフルな接客に感動しました。 最初は結構ボリュームあるなと思いましたが、麺はパリパリ部分ともっちり部分が最後まで交互に楽しめる食感と美味しさでぺろりと完食できました。 ※ちなみに相方はマヨかけを注文しましたが、思った以上にマヨたっぷりですので、覚悟の上での注文をおすすめします笑 ”

“ 아주 만족. 친절. 맛도 있음. 미니세트에 맥주가 딱일 듯. 여기에 샐러드도 있으면 좋고. ^^ 둘이 가서 샐러드 포함 야끼소바 하나, 미니세트 하나 하면 양은 괜찮음. ”

“ 히타역에서 마메다마치 가는길에 들렀는데 알고보니 여기가 소후렌 본점인 듯 합니다. 면이 살짝 바삭한 식감이라 일반 야키소바와는 다른 느낌이며 숙주가 잘 볶아져서 아삭하니 맛있습니다. 가격대가 다른 곳보다는 살짝 있는 느낌이지만 충분히 값어치를 한다고 생각합니다 ”

“ 日田の焼きそば店。有名な想夫恋の元本店。外観は地味でぱっと見わからなず通り過ぎてしまいました。 想夫恋焼き パリッと焼かれた麺は流石の美味しさでした!駅からの距離はどちらも同じくらいなので総本店より混んでないのでオススメです! ”

“ 子連れ3家族で利用しました! オーダーをする前に子供用に白ごはんを提供いただき感動していると、少し経ったら味付け薄めの焼きそばもくださいました。 え?!と感動しました もちろん子供用の椅子や食器も用意があり、キッズフレンドリーすぎて本当にありがとうございました。 焼きそばも美味しく、生卵とネギトッピングにしましたがマヨもトッピングしたかったのでまた伺います ありがとうございました!! ”

“ Lovely staff (v little English spoken, but friendly and patient!) and the yakisoba I received was the best I've had in ages. Dry-fried style noodle, not the wet style often made in Western establishments. Great balance of noodle to the fresh bean sprouts and spring onions, good sauce and the little pork pieces were well cooked and a nice grade of meat. ”

“ 「本当の日田焼きそばはココ」と日田在住の後輩から聞き、行ってきました。 店向かいに駐車場を発見^_^ 外壁に「本店」の文字!建物は築50年以上の風格を感じさせる。 店内はアランドロンやエデンの東のポスターがありタイムスリップした雰囲気で落ち着きます。 メニューは「想夫恋焼」…焼きそばとは書いてないところがいいね〜 普通盛りでも結構な量…と思いきやあっという間に完食。パリパリ麺が最高でした。 大将が気さくに話しかけてくれて楽しいひと時でした。 ”
