Hanare — Restaurant in Ishigaki

Still hungry after the meal, we are at Family Mart now. You should take the 12-course meal. Do not take the 8-course meal.

The whole 8-course menu can probably fit on one (small) plate. Of course, that’s not what you want, but if they just tried to put everything on one plate, they would easily see it’s not enough food and everything can fit with space. Eight courses are probably less than a normal plate of food.

We are more used to French fine dining, where you usually have a selection of bread during the meal (unlimited) and cheese at the end of the meal—whichever menu you take, you can’t leave hungry. At Hanaré, portions were small. At first, you think it’s because it’s the appetizer, but when you see the main is the same size as the appetizer and it’s your sixth dish, you know you will leave hungry.

I think they offered us the chopsticks to take home at the end and gave us chopstick-cleaning wipes. Usually, you get chocolates or small cakes to take home, not used chopsticks.

The first three dishes were mini soups, so they don’t make you full. Dessert was a very small mango sorbet/soup too (really nothing special).

At the end of the meal, we got some tea with a twelfth of a slice of banana bread.

The food was good but not enough. The goat milk dish was nice; the beef was nice. But you will finish each dish in two bites. There are almost no carbs in the 8-course meal—if you like keto or intermittent fasting, you can consider the 8-course meal.

After going to Hanaré, my girlfriend (who usually doesn’t eat much) got cup noodles at Family Mart, and I had to get melon-pan bread and two cups of mochi because we were too hungry.

In the end, it comes down to how you feel at the end of the meal, and if you feel you had a good meal. It’s not cheap, so you should at least feel satisfied. For both of us, we were still hungry. Some things were good, but neither of us would come back or...

Okinawa (Ryuku) food turned into gastronomic food. Good concept with some interesting dishes. A good place to go if you're looking to discover Chinese/Okinawan food in a new way. Minus point on the service. Even though the staff was friendly, the staff in charge was too inexperienced or not trained enough... Very far from the standing expected for this kind of place: not making us taste the wine, dropping accidently some food on customers, not able to speak any single word of english... We found other waiters in other restaurants in the resort much...

One of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been to. Beautiful interior, great attention to details and materials used. The food was delicious. Every bite was good, we loved all dishes (except one goya appetizer). Everything was really superb. Wine pairing and soft drink pairing was a good option and well worth it. The staff was super friendly and attentive, even the chef came to greet us after. Highly...
