AMANARI

The name of the Restaurant AMANARI is derived from name of the island AMAMI and the NARI seed of the native plant Sotetsu (Japanese Cycas revoluta). The NARI seed is toxic and poisonous.

In times of poverty and food shortages, local Amamians, found a way to remove the toxin and use the seed for cooking as soul food for many generations. The NARI seed to this date, symbolises the resilient nature of the people of the island.

AMANARI modern Japanese cuisine utilizes local and seasonal ingredients that are expertly prepared for you.
