Hachijojima Local Cuisine Ryozanpaku
The most famous local cuisine izakaya on Hachijo Island. Reservations needed 2 months in advance during tourist season. Full lineup of authentic local dishes using all Hachijo Island ingredients: ashitaba, kusaya, shima sushi, local fish. Tabelog 3.52 (233 reviews) — exceptionally high for an island izakaya. At ¥8,000-9,999 per person, it's priced higher, but the volume and quality cannot be found even in Tokyo. Island sushi requires reservation by 3 PM same day. 39 seats.
