Hachijojima Airport Restaurant Akakokko

If you want to try Hachijojima's specialties, I recommend Akakokko, an airport restaurant. I ordered the "Island Fish Set" without hesitation from the many menus. The main dish is mixed fries (flying fish croquettes, bluefin tuna fries, flying fish satsumaage). It's hot and crispy and definitely delicious. The soup is flying fish meatballs and local seaweed. The rice is seaweed rice 🍚, and underneath the generous amount of local seaweed, there are layers of rice, bonito flakes, and rice. It's just like my mother's nori bento. The wasabi served on the edge of the bowl can be added with soy sauce to taste. Everything is super delicious, and it's a set menu where you can't tell which is the main ingredient. The slightly bitter boiled asa leaf is also irresistible. pic3 Asa leaf soba Asa leaf tempura, boiled asa leaf, and soba noodles kneaded with asa leaf. The local seaweed works well. This is also delicious 😋
