Spotlighting Pacific bluefin tuna caught in nearby Ishigaki waters, Hitoshi Hitoshi Honten is a tuna-specialty seafood izakaya that has anchored the island's food scene since 1998. The assortment letting you compare otoro, chutoro, and lean akami features sweet, melt-in-the-mouth fat, while seared Ishigaki beef nigiri and tuna with sea grapes gunkanmaki are also popular. Distinctive Okinawan items are abundant, including somen champuru coated in rich sea urchin, chewy jimami tofu, freshly fried mozuku seaweed tempura, and garlic-scented squid ink fried rice. Across the counter, guests can watch the cooking unfold amid the bustling energy of a fisherman's hut, while gathering around the tatami seating (zashiki: low tables on tatami mats, shoes are removed) suits dining with friends. Praised for offering high-grade tuna and Ishigaki beef at reasonable prices, it is a sought-after restaurant where phones are rarely answered, but if you leave your mobile number in person, they will call you as soon as seats open. All seats are non-smoking, payment is cash-only, and being within walking distance of the remote islands ferry terminal makes it easy to fit into travel itineraries.
