Tabiiro’s picks: signature dishes
"Galette Complete," a Traditional French Classic
This traditional buckwheat galette is considered the original form of the dish. A crisp buckwheat crust is generously topped with a fresh free-range egg from Okinawa Prefecture, rich Gouda cheese from the Netherlands, and house-made ham made with pork loin from Okinawa Prefecture. The house-made ham is slowly cooked at a low temperature to preserve its tender texture and refined saltiness, while the mellow richness of the Gouda cheese enhances the overall flavor. The crisp yet chewy texture of the galette crust and the simple yet deep flavor of buckwheat pair exceptionally well with the rich toppings. The galette is finished in a way that makes the crust itself worth savoring on its own.

A Galette Crust with a Crisp, Chewy Texture
The galette batter is made with buckwheat flour. Although sourcing it in Okinawa Prefecture can be difficult, the restaurant has established its own supply channels to maintain careful ingredient selection without compromise. Buckwheat flour contains no wheat and is gluten-free, making it an ingredient that has also drawn attention for its wholesome qualities. The galette offers the distinctive flavor of buckwheat along with a crisp yet pleasantly chewy texture.
Popular pairings
"Crêpe Nutela Banane" with Homemade Nutella and Fresh Banana
A standout crepe selection is the "Crêpe Nutela Banane (Crepe with House-made Nutella and Fresh Banana)." The thin, delicately cooked crepe is generously filled with smooth house-made Nutella with restrained sweetness and paired with fresh banana. The Nutella melts in the mouth, while the banana adds gentle sweetness, natural aroma, and further depth of flavor. The richness of the fresh banana also helps balance the overall taste, creating a satisfying crepe that remains appealing through the final bite.
Must-try signature dish

"Iced Latte"
The "Iced Latte" offers a well-balanced flavor complemented by an appealing aroma. Made with coffee beans from "COFFEE potohoto" in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, the medium-dark roast provides a deep flavor with a soft mouthfeel and gentle acidity. Regular milk is standard, with oat milk and soy milk available for an additional charge.
-
"BERRY MATCHA CLOUD"
This indulgent drink layers house-made berry sauce with mellow matcha milk and finishes with a light matcha cream. The juicy acidity of the berry sauce balances the gentle sweetness and richness of the matcha milk, while the smooth cream gradually melts into the drink and leaves a subtle matcha bitterness on the finish.

Delicious batter cooked on an authentic griddle
Craftsmanship Extends Beyond Ingredients to the Cooking Tools
Close attention extends even to the equipment, including a griddle made in France, the home of galettes, for cooking the batter. Menu development also involved a food coordinator with approximately 25 years of experience operating a galette restaurant in Tokyo. Drawing on that expertise and knowledge, the menu was created to suit Okinawa Prefecture's seasonal ingredients and climate.
Interior
The interior design and furniture were selected in-house, creating a calm setting centered on beige tones, the warmth of wood, and touches of greenery. Attention extends beyond the decor to details such as the cutlery. The relaxed atmosphere is approachable even in swimwear, providing a comfortable space for a leisurely break.
A message from the owner
A commitment to fostering connections between people is reflected in every aspect of the restaurant, from the approach of the staff and choice of location to each individual recipe. The aim is to create a warm atmosphere where every guest can feel a sense of "connection," making the restaurant a welcoming place to stop when nearby.
