The restaurant offers various parts of the Motsu, such as tongue, hearts, and Hachinos, but the most popular is the “vinegared Motsu,” which is grilled Motsu seasoned with vinegar!
The richness of the Motsu and the refreshing taste of vinegar are exquisite.
The “bara-kebabs,” skewers of pork belly, are also delicious, but they are often sold out early in the day. If you are looking for pork belly skewers, we recommend that you go as soon as the restaurant opens at 3:00 p.m.

This refreshing dish is also popular in Okinawa, where the weather is warm all year round!
Another dish that could easily be mistaken for pasta is the Tokushima Handa somen noodle Chanpuru, which is made with bonito flakes, ham, and scallions. It is a dish recommended for Shime, stir-fried quickly with bonito flakes, ham, and scallions!
