It has almost no special fishy odor, making it highly recommended for women. The signature dish is "Premium Okinawa Black Pork Shabu-Shabu." The main ingredient is "Okinawa black pork," and the three combination plates include shoulder meat, belly meat, and thigh meat. In addition, there are many classic Okinawan dishes such as sea grapes, Okinawa salted pork, pig ears, and Okinawa buckwheat. The interior is filled with the atmosphere of a traditional house, featuring handmade wooden tables on tatami mats, decorated with miscellaneous items and small goods created by artists from the Yambaru region. Besides the Japanese-style private rooms, there is also a bar counter with a variety of alcoholic beverages, allowing guests to enjoy fine drinks while savoring delicious food.
