The restaurant is famous for its free live sanshin (Okinawan three-stringed instrument) performances held every day at 7:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The live music includes hand clapping and choreographing. The live music is a lot of fun, with people clapping their hands, joining in, and dancing the "Kachaasi" dance, in which they raise their hands and wave them left and right in time to the music. If you reserve a seat in advance, you can enjoy the live music right in front of you. On the open terrace seating, you can enjoy the music only through the speakers. Swimsuits are allowed on the terrace, so it is perfect for use after a day at the nearby beach. For lunch, the restaurant offers Okinawan set menus.

Local Guide Comment
If you want to enjoy the live sanshin performance, it is better to reserve a table in advance to coincide with the live performance time. We recommend making reservations several weeks in advance to allow plenty of time to enjoy the live music, as reservations fill up quickly during the tourist season.
