This live music club is owned by Sadao China, one of Okinawa's leading folk singers and a talented producer. The spacious 150-seat venue features performances by the “Nēnēs”, a female group active in Okinawa and abroad, as well as other talented groups such as “The Fare”, “Tururunten”, and “Yonaha Toru”. The attraction of this event is that there is no changeover system and unlimited time is available (live performance charge: 2,310 yen per adult, 1,155 yen per elementary, junior high, and senior high school student).

From ancient times, various songs, including court music and labor songs, have taken root in daily life in Okinawa, and a unique musical culture has grown up here. The high quality music culture that has been passed down from generation to generation can be experienced by not only tourists, but also local regulars and music connoisseurs.

The restaurant is also known for its local Okinawan cuisine, such as "soft rafute" a dish made with Awamori and brown sugar, "su chikka (Okinawan salt pork)", a savory grilled pork tri-tip cured in salt, and "goya chanpuru", a classic Okinawan dish.
