"Popular Izakaya with good vibes!
They have a large variety of Okinawa and Japanese delicacies, ranging from Wild boar sashimi to local fish 🐟 I enjoyed the sake tasting, pan fried fish, pork ear appetizer and sashimi platter.
The atmosphere is chill, waiters are friendly,
It is fully packed and very popular, so remember to book in advance. Dinner starts at 530pm. They have shuttle bus service that requires booking in advance."

"This place was just unforgettable. Discovered by chance and confirmed to be one of the best (and the best for me) restaurants in #Iriomote by locals. Excellent Okinawan cuisine, but also good wines and pizza. They grow their own mangos and they also have a very nice terrace. They have pick-up/drop-off service.
Please reserve in advance if you have the opportunity to visit Iriomote."
