Hello! We are the Tenku Festival Food Department and we are introducing our top 10 Beppu restaurants picks in our "Beppu Tenku Restaurant" event.
The Tenku Festival is unfortunately online again this year due to the coronavirus which is why we wanted to do something that would include the restaurants that had originally planned to have a food stall if the festival was held on campus. After some discussion, we came up with the idea to introduce each place via video and blogs. We can guarantee that you will want to try our restaurant picks after watching! Please support Beppu's local businesses and check them out!
We would like to introduce Lucoco Nico, a restaurant that specializes in made-to-order sandwiches!
It's a stylish store located just up the hill from Beppu University Station, and they have been in business since May 2017.
Many of you may know them from their sandwich and salad sales near the entrance on the first floor of D building in APU.
Lucoco Nico sells their sandwiches on the APU campus on a daily basis. We were impressed at the sheer number of people who gathered on the first floor of D Building during lunchtime to buy sandwiches. (We highly recommend the shrimp cutlet sandwich!)
When ordering sandwiches at the store, you can customize by choosing two or more ingredients from 20 different ingredients.
We recommend APU students to try the "Luco Meat (homemade meat sauce) x Roast Chicken Sandwich." It's one of the sandwiches sold at APU and according to the owner, it is a very popular and classic combination.
As you can see from this picture, it looks very delicious with a good balance of vegetables and meat. It is very healthy and filling.
We strongly recommend everyone to visit this store and post a picture of your favorite sandwich on Instagram. Don't forget to tag the store's account (@lucoconico0529).
Lastly, a message from Lucoco Nico to APU students!
"We offer original sandwiches with plenty of vegetables and your choice of filling! We hope that international students will be able to find their favorite sandwich and we look forward to seeing your smiling faces.”
Whether you are a domestic or international student, if you are in the mood for a delicious sandwich, please visit Lucoco Nico.
