So tender that it falls apart with just a touch of chopsticks. This dish features Ishigaki Island's braised pork, simmered in coconut milk and Vietnamese seasonings to create a 'sweet and fragrant' flavor. The subtle ethnic aroma stimulates the appetite, and the sweetness of the pork fat spreads throughout the mouth. It's excellent served over rice, but it pairs exceptionally well with awamori or beer! Enjoy breaking apart the flavor-infused egg that has been simmered together, and savor every bit of the sauce. [Allergens: Pork, Fish Sauce]

Carefully boiled, plump chicken served with three distinct flavors. A spicy and stimulating 'Ethnic', a rich 'Chinese Soy Sauce', and the refreshing 'Shikuwasa' unique to Ishigaki Island.

When you bite into it, the crispy skin bursts open, releasing a rich flavor of meat and a sweetness from the fat! The slightly sweet and spicy unique aroma is an addictive taste once you try it.

The secret to its deliciousness lies in the time spent on marination without cutting corners. By slowly resting the chicken in yogurt mixed with 10 different spices, we lock in the umami of the meat and achieve a tender texture. The complex and deep aroma that spreads the moment it enters your mouth is a flavor that can only be produced by hand. I confidently recommend it as a companion for drinks or as the main dish for dinner. The pairing with 'Spice Honey Beer' is the best! A mini size for one person is also available. Mini size for one person 600 yen [Allergens: Dairy, Chicken]

The moment it arrives, a rich aroma of Shaoxing wine and fragrant vegetables wafts through the air.
