The "Live Tiger Prawn Sashimi Gozen" is characterized by its plump texture and sweet meat, which can be tasted only when it is fresh. The taste melts in your mouth.

The "Live Tiger Prawn Tempura Gozen" has an exquisite texture, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The fragrant aroma of freshly fried prawns whets the appetite. Both sets come with rice and miso soup, and are very satisfying.

The interior of the restaurant, which utilizes a container house, is a calm space with plenty of light streaming in through the large windows and the warmth of the wood. You can spend a special time while directly feeling the nature of Okinawa.

Of particular note is the introduction of a fish tank for long-handled prawns. This will be a new hands-on restaurant where customers can enjoy catching their own prawns and having them BBQed or tempura-ed on the spot. This will be an exciting new way for adults and children alike to enjoy food.

Review of Okibara

Nakijin-mura, Okinawa Ebinomori, Forest Restaurant Yanbaru, tiger prawns, lunch

Ebi-no-Mori is a new style restaurant born in the Yanbaru forest. It is a special restaurant where you can enjoy the luxury of fresh tiger prawns in a quiet space surrounded by the forest.

The counter seating offers a view of the open kitchen, allowing diners to enjoy the prawns being prepared in front of them with a live atmosphere. Both the tempura and sashimi were truly exquisite, with flavors that brought out the best of the ingredients.

Banyan trees and Ryukyu scarlet cherry trees spread across the vast grounds, and the restaurant is a pleasant space with plenty of natural light. It was a unique and special experience to dine while relaxing in the forest.

The restaurant will be even more enjoyable in the future, as a fish tank for long-handled prawns is scheduled to be introduced. Ebinomori, where you can enjoy delicious shrimp dishes in the midst of nature, is a new gourmet spot in Okinawa that you should check out!
