The first anniversary of the opening

About the products

The roots of the restaurant lie in the "Saba Kaido" (mackerel road) that connects Kyoto and Fukui.

The owner, who had been making "saba-zushi" for many years in Shiga Prefecture, moved to Okinawa, saw the potential of Okinawa's saba food culture, and began to take on the challenge of making it here.

The rice used is Koshihikari produced in Omi, Shiga Prefecture. The rice is polished at home and combined with vinegar imported from Fukui. The aroma of the baked mackerel and the softness of the vinegared rice.

The food culture of the north is expanding to the south.

One year anniversary

The new "Saba Kaido" connects Shiga and Okinawa.

We will continue to create flavors that are rooted in the local community.
