"Fresh seafood caught by the owner daily and wild boar hunted by the owner during the hunting season in winter… Do I need to say more?!"

"A fantastic seafood focused restaurant. One of the best meals I've had during my Okinawa trip! 💯 Recommend
Quality of ingredients is high, seafood is freshly caught daily and food is perfectly executed. I highly recommend poached fish, risotto, sashimi platter and fried chicken.
The owner is humorous and speaks fluent English. The view is breathtaking and relaxing, where you can watch the sunset while savouring delicious food."
