About

The shop's name comes from the gold prize (kinsho) its croquette won at a national croquette contest, and that potato-and-beef croquette is still the one everyone orders, freshly fried and handed over in paper. Variations include Bungo beef, curry and cream croquettes. There are several branches in Yufuin, with the main one on Yunotsubo street near Floral Village. Cheap, hot and fast, it's perfect fuel while browsing the street.
