The owner is particular about using seasonal ingredients according to the season of Awaji Island! As much as possible, he uses locally grown and locally harvested ingredients. He takes the time and effort to arrange each dish with care and delicacy, using crops that have been grown with love and seafood that have been harvested with great effort and hard work. If they are not available, the owner himself will go and pick wild plants or make tea. The owner's attention to detail is apparent not only in the ingredients, but also in the dishes, forks, knives, chopsticks, temperature and space to suit the food served. Kairi does not have a set menu. Instead, he thinks about the local ingredients that are available at the time, so the menu is handwritten by the owner and posted at the entrance of Kairi every day.

Looking out from the entrance, you can see the unspoiled scenery of the past. The interior of this old-fashioned house blends in with the scenery, and you can relax in a space that exudes the beauty of traditional Japan, with an irori hearth, a veranda, nostalgic yet beautiful patterned glass windows, and a transom at the top of the room that acts as a partition while letting in air and light.

※Nearby information

[Gossakaito Ruins]
A four-minute drive from the dining area takes you to ruins with a panoramic view of the sea, located on a hill 200 meters above sea level and 3 km from the sea, from the late Yayoi period, when maritime traffic was the norm. The Yayoi period has an idyllic image of rice farming, but in fact this ruins was a "blacksmith village" where iron tools such as arrowheads and axes from the Korean peninsula were made, and not a single farm tool has been found here. The blacksmith's workshop building has now been restored.

[Rice terraces in Ikuta area]
A five-minute drive from the dining area takes you to the original Japanese landscape of the rice terraces of Ikuta. The Ikuta area is made up of three small villages in the mountain valleys, and as the area faces aging and depopulation, momentum has grown to revitalize the area, leading to the formation of the Ikuta Area Revitalization Council, which has maintained the beautiful rice terraces and even started selling soba, a local resource, and has opened a soba cafe in the former nursery school building and restored the watermill. In the evenings during the rice planting season, the scenery is mesmerizing.
