I visited in the evening and had a 10-course meal. This is a course of Ryukyu court cuisine. All of the dishes were unusual and had strange flavors, but they were all delicious with very gentle seasonings. In particular, the last Rafute was exquisite, the creamy texture was the best, and it was the most delicious ever. The price is around 7000 yen, which is reasonable for a course meal. However, the restaurant was a very old private house from the Showa era, and the atmosphere was not good enough. It's difficult to repeat, but I think it's a dish worth trying at least once in your life. Cash only, free parking available (you can park in the vacant lot next to the store).

sorry.
It's expensive before you eat it. That's what I thought, but when I tried it, I was surprised. How much time and effort did you put into achieving this balance of taste and texture? I thought. Not all the dishes have a particular flavor that stands out, but they are exquisitely balanced, and this is what Ryukyu cuisine is all about.
I want to go again.
