What is Genpachi Funatou?
Celebrating 40 years in business, Genpachi Funatou is a tavern where you can enjoy Hachijojima's local cuisine and rare Hachijojima shochu (distilled spirit) in exchange for carefully selected ingredients.
We serve thick sashimi and shimazushi made with fresh fish directly from the market, tempura of large asunasutake leaves that we purchase from farmers in Hachijojima, and other delicacies filled with the charms of Hachijojima.
The charm of Hachijojima's local cuisine and the ingredients that make it special.
Ashitaba
As a vegetable rich in vitamins and minerals, Ashitaba is well known. It has a strong life force and has long been regarded as a miracle drug for longevity and immortality. Its name comes from the fact that its vitality is so strong that it is said, "If you pick a sprout today, a new sprout will appear the next day. Also known as "Hachijoso," it is a perennial herb of the parsley family with a distinctive bitter taste.
Shimazake -Shima Sake
Shochu made on Hachijo Island is called Hachijo shochu or island sake, and has long been popular among the islanders. It is made from the delicious water resources of Hachijo Island, using a unique malted barley malt.
Island Sushi -Shimashimashi
A local delicacy characterized by sushi ingredients marinated in a soy sauce-based sauce, then made into a zuke, with the rice made with slightly sweetened vinegar and topped with karashi (mustard) instead of wasabi.
Fresh fish -Sakana-.
Only the freshest and best quality fish is used for island sushi and sashimi. The chef himself goes to the market and purchases the fish with his own discernment.
The following is a detailed list of our recommended menu items.
Island Sushi
The fresh sushi ingredients are marinated in a special soy sauce-based sauce, then dipped in a zuke, and served on a bed of slightly sweetened vinegared rice topped with karashi (mustard).
Tempura of Ashitaba
Asuka leaves purchased from farmers on Hachijojima are crisply fried in hot oil and served with salt. The subtle bitterness makes it an irresistible delicacy.
New menu items from March
Asukaya and Hokkai octopus with vinegared miso
Kakiage (deep-fried ashiyo leaves and sakura shrimps)
Fried Asukaya and garlic
Kusaya cream cheese
The purpose of the media launch dinner
The new menu was developed with flavors and ideas that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and both men and women, so that those who think that "Asuka leaves are bitter," "Kusaya is smelly," or "I have never heard of Asuka leaves or Kusaya in the first place" can enjoy the new menu.
We want to preserve our existing dishes such as the historic island sushi and tempura kusaya, but we also want the younger generation to try our asahaya and kusaya as well.
[Details of the Nakameguro branch where the unveiling event will be held this time
The previous president had long wanted to take on the challenge of opening a restaurant in Tokyo, and we have taken over his intentions and opened a restaurant in Tokyo at the end of the Corona. Nakameguro has a fashionable image among women and young people.
We would like to introduce "Hachijo-jima's local cuisine" to the younger generation. We opened this restaurant in Nakameguro, an area with a rapid turnover of new restaurants, because we believe it is a good area to increase the visibility of Hachijo-jima's local cuisine.

A word from the chef
You can only taste the real taste of local cuisine locally. At Genpachi Funatoh, our chefs go to Hachijojima to eat, feel, and purchase local food.
We provide our customers with the best possible local flavor. We purchase the sauce, asafoetida, and kusa-ya for our island sushi from the local market, and we cooperate with a shochu (Japanese liquor) brewer.
Please try it for yourself. I used to not be able to eat kusaya, but now I love it.
