Shima Ryōri Isun

島料理 海響(いすん)

An island-cuisine izakaya in Kubura, billed as Japan’s westernmost izakaya, known for its sailfish sashimi and chōmeisō (longevity herb) dishes.

An island-cuisine izakaya near Kubura Fishing Port, cooking with local seafood and island ingredients. The sashimi platter includes Yonaguni’s famous sailfish, sailfish belly and deep-sea red snapper, eaten with shikuwasa citrus and island chili pepper. Other dishes include chōmeisō shiraae (wild chōmeisō tossed with tofu), miso-stir-fried luffa, butter-fried red snapper, and salt-seasoned Yonaguni fried noodles. Pair them with the local awamori “Donan.” Island residents often hold gatherings here, so the atmosphere is lively. You can also arrange in advance to have your own catch prepared. There are few restaurants on the island, so evening reservations must be made by phone, and during peak season some tables are booked a month ahead. Cash only; about ¥3,000–4,000 per person.
