Reviews Summary
This cozy restaurant offers a truly authentic local dining experience with delicious, comforting dishes at affordable prices. While the atmosphere is casual and the owner can seem aloof, the hand-caught sashimi, unique wild boar ramen, and other specialties are highly praised. It's a hidden gem for those seeking genuine island flavors.
"A very residential restaurant that feels like you’re stepping into someone’s house for dinner. Not a huge menu, but a decent selection of food options. And ice cold draft beer. The tuna sashimi was delicious and the beef bowl (牛丼) was delicious. The owner can seen a bit aloof, but don’t let that scare you away. It’s a great experience and since there’s not much in the area to begin with, you might as well give it a try."

"Cozy and authentic. After a visit to Ida Beach, we were looking for a place to eat and found this place. Walking in felt like stepping into someone’s living room super homey and welcoming. The menu was small but just right, with delicious, comforting food at very affordable prices. A lovely spot to relax and enjoy a simple, satisfying meal."
