Enjoy the signature curry or a relaxing cafe break in a renovated island general store.

Last update :
Supervised by :  Motoe Cafe

Motoe Cafe is a 1-minute walk from Manabeshima Honura Port, tucked away down a narrow alley. It opened in a renovated building formerly occupied by Motoe Shoten, an island general store, and retained the store’s trade name. With high ceilings and generously spaced tables, the spacious, relaxing interior is perfect for taking a break while exploring the island or waiting for a ferry.

Everything on the menu is carefully made by hand. The signature Motoe Curry is a simple, straightforward dish made with a soup base prepared by slowly simmering beef tendon. This authentic European-style curry, created to let diners savor the true flavor of curry, is well worth trying.

The cafe menu is also worth exploring, including the Motoe Blend, brewed with freshly roasted house-roasted beans, and baked cheesecake with just the right amount of sweetness.
It is an ideal place to relax and take a breather during an island trip that is a pleasure even when simply strolling around.
