カヌーは一人乗り、二人乗りが選べます。干潮の時間に行ったら白いかにが見られました。体力に自信がなくても大丈夫ですが、大人二人なら二人とも漕ぐのがよいでしょう。足元は必ず濡れます。濡れてもいい服装で行きましょう。見どころではガイドをしてもらえます。マングローブとは何か教えてもらいました。

奄美大島初日に、ぶらぶら歩いて発見後、入ってみた店。庶民的、大衆的で、混んでる時間は料理が出てくるのが遅いが、スタッフは明るく親切、好意的。飲み放題コースには生ビールは含まれない。レアものの黒糖焼酎などはないので注意。

Tried this place after recommended by one of mangrove tour guide. Great chicken rice with that soup stock! We had other dishes like pork on the tice and grilled chopped chicken dish with green onion on the top. Full dished, and the portion isn't small so great if you have a big appetite! Definitely recommend to try while you are visiting Amami island.

鶏飯は有名になってきましたが、こちらが元祖だそうです。実は鶏飯は与論島で食べたことがありまして、大好物です。特に飲み過ぎた次の日は本当に助かります。おみやげのフリーズドライを買って帰ったこともあるのですが、イマイチ。というわけで元祖のお店についに来ることができました。特徴はお出汁が濃厚なこと。二日酔い向けには濃すぎますが、体調が良ければおいしくいただけるかと。旅先では地元の方と飲むことが多いので、私的にはもう少しあっさり目を希望です。Although chicken rice, called keihan, has become famous, it seems that this is the original one.Actually, I eat chicken rice on Yoron Island, and I like it a lot. Especially the next day I drunk too much is really helpful.Sometimes I bought souvenir 's freeze - dried and went home, but I do not like so much.So I finally came to the original shop.The characteristic is that the soup stock is rich. It is too heavy for hangover, but I wish it would be delicious if I had a good physical condition.When I travel, I often drink with local people, so I personally hope a little more light taste.

If you want to try some local only dishes, its all there. Kind staff can also give you some advice on what to try what to have it before you leave Amami. We tried Goat soup, and Chicken rice some other seafood dishes. Plenty of food, we were happy at the end for all these very first time tried local dishes!

Staff was really friendly and helped me with choosing my dishes. The sashimi salad was very fresh and tasted great. The price was reasonable but it was my most expensive dinner so far. I would definitely go back if I visit amami again.

We were welcomed in a friendly manner and shown to a table sharing with others. The set course was good, with a variety of dishes to cover the main food groups, including amami osechi, pork ribs, pigs trotters, egg-wrapped onigiri, sashimi, local miso, pickled papaya, and burdock root. It was a lovely evening and worth a visit. Reasonably priced too!

We ordered the local menu and get keihan und torisashi. First, torisashi is chicken sashimi! Yes, raw chicken. It was really unusual for us but we ate half of it. The keihan was good and the service was really friendly. Up to now they could not speak english. Feel free to try this location!

The food at this restaurant is amazing! Tofu and soy in many different versions! If you are vegetarian I recommend the tofu croquette, because it's a feast! Also it might be a good idea to share the dish you get, because it's so big! As a starter you can serve yourself with homemade plain tofu, soymilk and miki (Amami style rice drink/pudding). It is ALL sooo good!!!!
