① Yukunumi (Photos 1-3)
Address: 10-2 Okawa, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, 907-0022
Atmosphere/Facilities: Run by a single grandmother, this restaurant has a homey atmosphere and is popular with locals.
The restaurant is not particularly large, so we recommend groups of four or fewer.
Recommendations: The Yaeyama soba (cartilage soki soba) and zenzai (shaved ice) are delicious. You can also change the flavor of the Yaeyama soba with peppers (island peppers) and koregusu (island chili peppers marinated in awamori).
Budget per person: ¥1,000
Rating: 4.5
② Island Cuisine Izakaya Adantei (Photos 4-6)
Address: 1F East, 430 Okawa, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture, 907-0022
Atmosphere/Facilities:
This restaurant serves Ishigaki and Okinawan local cuisine. This popular restaurant is a little far from the city center, so we recommend making a reservation in advance.
Recommendations: The restaurant's eponymous "Adan no Wamono" (Adan's Japanese Food) is a rare and delicious dish you won't find anywhere else. They also offer a wide selection of alcoholic beverages, including Ishigaki Island beer and Ishigaki Island awamori. Their local fish dressed in vinegar and miso goes perfectly with alcohol. In addition to typical Okinawan dishes, they also offer local cuisine.
Budget per person: ¥5,000
Rating: 4.6
③AZZURA (Photos 7-13)
Address: 209-6 Okawa, Ishigaki City, Okinawa Prefecture 907-0022
Atmosphere/Facilities: This Italian restaurant uses ingredients from Ishigaki. The interior is stylish, yet conveniently located in the middle of Euglena Mall, creating a casual atmosphere.
Recommendations: This Italian restaurant uses local ingredients and is recommended for those who are tired of island cuisine.
The menu is also extensive (Photos 11-13). The menu features appetizers that pair perfectly with both white and red wines, and Ishigaki Island specialties are marked with a star. If you're unsure what to order, we recommend ordering multiple dishes and sharing them with others.
Budget per person: ¥5,000
Rating: 4.7
