Izena Island diner whose standout feature is 'Taiyo-men' — noodles made from island-grown rice. Thicker and more substantial than Vietnamese pho, it's a unique island noodle experience available nowhere else. Gluten-free health-conscious menu featured on the official Izena tourism website (including English version). Ranked in jalan.net's Izena Village Gourmet Rankings. The most-reviewed restaurant in all of Izena Village on Tabelog (77 reviews). Governor's Award recipient. Prices starting from ¥750.

Reviews: 'Island rice noodles have a texture I've never felt before — moved', 'Cheap, filling, and tastes like the island', 'You must come here when visiting Izena Island', 'Daily specials show off authentic island ingredients'. Tabelog 3.05 / 77 reviews (most in Izena Village). Listed in jalan.net island gourmet guide and Izena Village Chamber of Commerce website. Independent food blog (sanpei, May 2023) confirmed 'Meat Miso Soy Milk Noodles' review.
