Down a dirt road and facing a field of wild reeds, this cute cafe feels vaguely Hawaiian. The menu, however, leans more toward Thailand. Lunch sets range from red curry to Kagoshima black-pork-sausage pizza, and the fresh, homemade breads are dreamy. Look for a green sign in English, about 3km west of Onoaida.
