A June 2026 Tabelog reviewer walked in to walls of awamori bottles, and a March 2026 regular credits a sommelier with the selection. One November 2025 visitor began with a craft gin and soda scented with shikuwasa, then paid ¥1,100 for a 35-degree Tamayuki kusu aged ten years in clay jars. Each pour came with a short explanation of the bottle.
The bar food takes an Okinawan turn: tofuyo made from island tofu fermented in awamori, and a Shima Napolitan that uses Okinawa soba noodles in place of spaghetti. The bar opened in August 2020 and stays open to 02:00, so it works as a last stop after dinner in Kumoji or Matsuyama.
