I'm here. Freshly fried PANBIN, which does not use additives, is a traditional fried confectionery of Miyakojima called Sata Bread Bin. There are almost no shops where you can buy bread bin on the street now. Organic sugar and brown sugar from Tarama Island are used for sweetness. More than 16 different kinds, which change daily!

When going to Nagama Beach, you pass under an arch made of Pandanus trees and pass through a slope of white sand. It is a beautiful beach with pure white sand stretching 1km from north to south. There are usually few people, and it is a little-known beach where "Kurima Blue" with excellent transparency spreads. ↓●Spot 5 Musunun Beach This is a place where a ritual called Musunun Beach is held, and the local dialect for exterminating insects is Musunun, so it is called Musunun Beach. ↓Return to the store, dissolution *We can also set the time and course according to the customer's request, so if you have any requests, please feel free to contact us at the time of booking. *Since AOSORA PARLOR is closed irregularly, we will confirm business hours after making a reservation request.
