A reservation is essential at this renowned restaurant. I usually prefer strip loin because I like tender cuts, but the staff recommended the lean steak, so I gave it a try. It was incredibly tender, with an outstanding depth of beef flavor. Adding garlic or mustard as condiments brought out even more deliciousness. The restaurant is quite small, so making a reservation is definitely necessary.

With only a limited number of seats, guests can enjoy a quiet and relaxed dining experience. The sleek, black-themed kitchen adds a stylish touch. I ordered the course menu featuring Ise-ebi (spiny lobster), and personally loved the rich, bold flavors of each dish. For the final course, you can choose between garlic rice or traditional Okinawan juushii rice.

The white fish known as "Taman" was especially delicious. The crispy rice cracker made from the heads of Okinawan prawns is a must-try for shrimp lovers—absolutely outstanding. The ingredients are simple: just shrimp, nothing else.

The beef is exceptionally tender, allowing you to fully savor its rich, lean flavor—I easily finished 200g. Next time, I’ll order 300g. The garlic rice served after the steak is also outstanding, having absorbed all the delicious flavors of the meat.

This time, I chose the regular strip loin and tenderloin instead of the special grade cuts. In the end, every cut here is undeniably delicious. Since I prefer fattier meat, I might actually like the regular cuts even more than the special ones. I also appreciated the complimentary appetizers and the island tofu steak, which were delightful additions to the meal.

At first, I was going to order the regular strip loin, but the staff recommended the Special, saying it was on another level, so I decided to try it—220 grams for JPY 12,800! And they were absolutely right—it was completely different. The meat was incredibly tender, with no fatty parts at all. It was served with salt and two kinds of sauces, all of which were delicious.
