The lunch menu features an omakase course centered around chewy pizza and pasta. This hearty lunch comes with an authentic dessert plate and a drink, ensuring you’ll leave completely satisfied.Depending on the season, you may also be able to enjoy dishes and desserts made with local specialties from Kamikoani Village, such as edible ground cherries and perilla. Both the dishes and the desserts are all carefully handmade by Kimiko herself.
