Visiting tips & what to bring

It is a diner in front of the fishing port, and easy-to-walk clothing is fine. The terrace seats have hours with strong sun, so a hat or sun shade is comfortable to have. Lunch tends to get crowded around noon, and the popular tub bowl may sell out, so an early visit is recommended. As the closing days are irregular, confirm operation. At the direct-sales shop you can buy fresh fish and bonito processed products too.

For families with small children

It is an easy diner to use even with small children. With terrace seats and a barrier-conscious build, it is said to be easy to enter with a pushchair. Besides seafood bowls, there are easy-to-eat menu items for children such as soba and Okinawan dishes. However, it tends to get crowded at lunchtime with possible waits, so visiting with time to spare is reassuring.
