The only downside is they don’t speak much english and the menus are in Japanese so I recommend having a Japanese speaking person come along if possible.
They are also reservation-only so you should come with a reservation already made using their website. We were lucky and got in with no reservation but had to wait a little outside.
The lunch menu was great and you get a little bit of everything such as four different types of grilled fish, several different tempura, miso soup, rice, and eel. There are also complementary pickled cucumbers and seasonings for the fish.
There were private rooms, as well as a U-shaped bar which is where we sat. I will put this down as one of the best grilled fish restaurants I’ve been to on Okinawa!

All the seasonings matched to each fish are delicious!
The white rice that poured into the bowl was gone before I knew it! lol
Restaurants that serve delicious fish are rare in Okinawa. I would like to repeat it again!
I visited on a Sunday around 12:00, and the seats were empty. There were signs that about 15 people were there when it opened, so it might be a good idea to go a little later.
