Local cuisines that brings out the best of the ingredients in season
Yoron Island is famous as the island of longevity.
Fresh seafood and a warm, mild climate bring good health to the people in Yoron.
The inside of a nearby coral reef abounds with many kinds of small fish, seaweed, and shellfish.
The outside has migratory fish such as tuna, bonito, Spanish mackerel and so on.
Because of the mild climate, fresh vegetables are harvested all through the year in the fields.
In summer, tropical fruits such as mangoes and passion fruits are in season.
You can enjoy amazing views of the ocean, getting in touch with nature and having excellent fresh foods.
We serve you healthy local cuisines made with fresh local ingredients from the sea and the fields on Yoron Island.
