Cafe • 2-chōme-4-15 Yasuoka Ekimae, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi 759-6612, Japan
Shimashima Shokudo, located in front of Anoka Station in Shimonoseki City, is a cafe that was originally part of the Wakaofuku Inn and renovated. Opened in April 2017, the store is located in a peaceful atmosphere facing the Anoka beach, where time flows slowly.
Stepping into the store, antique furniture and vintage items catch the eye. There are 2-person and 4-person tables, counter seats, and an 8-person large table, ensuring a spacious seating arrangement. There are also private sofa areas and Japanese-style rooms suitable for families, offering a variety of seating layouts.
However, the most attractive feature is the view from the spacious terrace seats. A calm sea spreads out in front of you, and you can overlook the expansive sandy beach in the distance. You can spend a relaxed time feeling the sound of the waves.
The lunch menu offers a selection that allows one to feel the hospitality of an inn. For example, the "Shimashima set meal" (1,000 yen) is a classic dish where you can choose between meat or fish. It comes with several small side dishes, allowing you to enjoy different colors and flavors. There are also options such as keema curry, hot dogs, and cake sets.
The menu is simple, but you can see the careful effort put into each dish. It's the charm of Shimashima Shokudo to be able to enjoy the taste of a well-prepared inn-style meal.
The operating hours are from 11:30 to 16:00 (last order at 15:30), with only lunchtime business. The regular holidays are Sundays and Mondays, but there may be extended closures in the summer or temporary closures due to inn events, so it is recommended to check in advance on platforms such as Facebook.
There is a spacious parking lot in front of the store, and there is also parking space at a nearby drugstore. It may get crowded during busy hours, and there may be quite a line just before opening, so it's best to visit with plenty of time to spare.
Shimashima Shokudo, with its retro atmosphere and seaside views, along with its meticulously prepared lunch menu, is attractive. Why not visit this hidden cafe to enjoy a leisurely time? Don't forget to check the operating hours in advance.
