Good atmosphere and nice decor, but cocktails were pretty bad. Mojito had no fresh mint in it but had a slice of lemon (?!) and tasted like gin and tonic. Mango frozen smoothie had a weak mango flavour and couldn't taste the alcohol in it at all (was there even any in it?). It was expensive, too (1500yen).

Beach theme bar. The owner is an avid surfer and guide during the day and is very knowledgeable about the local spots, events. The space is chill with a great ambiance and popular with young local creatives and musicians. This was a great jumping off point as I learned a lot about the island you can’t learn from guide books.
If you are looking for a very chilled bar with delicious drinks and a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you! It's one of the only places you can get real cocktails on Amami, and not at outrageous prices. It's a surf bar, but anyone who likes a chill atmosphere will like it. My favourite drink is the Mojito.
Also on Wednesdays, the place gets a little more hype for DJ might. The music is usually pretty mellow though. And it's free as long as you buy a drink!
If you visit this bar for the first time, you can expect the bartender to come sit next to you after a while and chat with you, ask you who you are and why you're on Amami. And if you're a regular he might be drinking right along with you!
