Henkotsu-en
Mix with the locals in this yakiniku house, where the order of the day is slabs of raw meat. Just slap them on the hot plate and chat away with friends. It's Japanese style indoor barbeque at its most native.
Naoshima is not an island where you will find Western food in any measurable amount. Almost all venues serve Japanese food only. Restaurants accept last orders around 7:30pm, so do not delay in choosing a place. Notably, the New Olympia and Henkotsu-en restaurants remain open until 9pm. Be aware that most restaurants either close early or do not open at all on Sunday evenings.
Yamamoto's Udon
Rub shoulders with workers on their lunch break and housewives gossiping away their day. It has a good reputation for quality affordable noodles. They may have the Kagawa prefecture udon speciality, Sanuki Udon.
New Olympia
The best quality seafood you'll get outside of Benesse House. Try the Tempura, and don't worry about language barriers just point and smile and you'll be treated royally. The chef has a cheatsheet of English translations of his dishes behind the counter.
Café Ougiya
Japanese food railway-style, one of tenants in the ferry terminal. Standard udon, curry & rice etc.Café Ougiya manages Bicycle Rental.
Iwata's confectionery shop
Japanese style sweets & cakes, traditional food gifts.
Café Saya
This charming place is attached to the rear of a house. Café Saya serves excellent green tea lattes and sweets. They also serve tsukune-don a ground-chicken patty on top of rice, Saya men beef on top of noodles, etc.
