About
This small restaurant with just 10 seats was opened on Ishigaki Island in July 2013. The people of Okinawa, surrounded by abundant nature and seas, are extremely enthusiastic, kind, and charming. Delicious foods are also produced in Okinawa. We believe that the Okinawan food culture, which has taken in various influences including from China and Southeast Asia, has the potential to evolve in the future. We feel that Okinawan food culture must become more open and that we are at a stage that requires continual efforts in many ways. Okinawan cuisine is not perfect, but we bring Okinawan food closer to its perfect state and also encourage its development. To that end, we incorporate local ingredients together into our dishes as well as various ingredients and cultures from the land and oceans of Japan, a nation of abundant foods, as well as overseas countries. We Okinawan chefs will continue being influenced by cuisine from across the world as we utilize more ingredients, methods, and ideas while adding our Okinawan flair. Challenge and progress of shimalohas have just begun; and they are to continue.
