Incredible atmosphere, super peaceful, would highly recommend to anyone visiting Okinawa. This place has many different set menus and we were served by a lovely lady who really accommodated us with English and a bit of Spanish too. the peaceful ambiance was also very appreciated. Highlights were the rafute and the yushi soft tofu, with a texture similar to mochi with a lovely rich nutty flavour. It’s not cheap by Okinawan standards but it’s worth the price you pay for the experience. Everything was fresh and full of colour - would take our family and friends in a heartbeat if we visit again.

Loved this place. We had a 6 hour stop in Okinawa from our cruise ship. After walking the Kokusai-dori area and the ceramics street, we trusted the Google reviews to end up here. The waitress spoke great English, the interior was air conditioned and clean and comfortable, the menus were clear (though you can only order the sets, no ala carte), and the Okinawa-brewed Orion draft beer was cold and crisp. Of course the meal was the main attraction. Everything was great. If I had the appetite, I would’ve ordered 2 more sets! Fair warning, the entrance is up a tiny hill, off the Main Street, so it looks like you’re lost. Have faith in Google Maps!

Absolutely love this back alley restaurant. We both had vegetable soba middle soup which was very flavorful and filling. Really, really loved this little restaurant.
