Shimafumi — Restaurant in Sado

This is a golden gem on the island of Sado.

The view's good and so is the garden. The food isn't anything special though and neither is the service (pretty slow bringing food out). Locals coming in at the weekend, filling their trays with bread for everyone in their family. And of course there's only ONE register. I mean, come on.
