Minato Sushi

Around Tokyo


This sushi restaurant on the south coast is considered the island's best by locals, and so it pays to book ahead. A must-try is bekko sushi, made with fish marinated in soy sauce and island chilli peppers.

After your meal, the timewarp Habu Port – where the restaurant is located – makes for a pleasant stroll.
