Restaurant Kuina is located inside the Kunigami Tourism Products Center and offers various Okinawan dishes, including meals featuring their specialty ingredient, “inobuta” (cross between wild boar and domestic pig).

Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Matsuo 2-9-6 Takamine Bill 1F

This cafe is at 2 Matsuo near the First Makishi Public Market.

Northern European furniture decorates the interior, whose décor is a fusion of styles from Okinawa, Hawaii, and Northern Europe.

Had to queue up for more that 30min as the place was small. The food was above average western style food.Similar food can be found at many other places in Singapore.

If you are a tourist, this is a great experience to have on your Okinawa trip! I had the sandwich with goya, egg, cheese, and spam--the nuyaru burger. I think nuyaru means what is this? in Okinawan...

This restaurant is on the 4th floor of the Naha Airport Domestic Terminal. While alcohol is served as well, Okinawa soba is their main offering, along with chanpuru and other local dishes. Since it's inside the airport, you can grab a quick bite to eat here before your departure.

Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Matsuyama 1-3-18

This dining hall was founded in 1962 and is open 24 hours. It is famous as the origin of the “pork and eggs set,” which has become a standard of Okinawan cuisine. There's also goya chanpuru, Okinawa soba, and other home-style cooking with plenty of vegetables. The main draw is their katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl). The sweet and savory sauce, soba soup stock, and braised pork is sure to whet your appetite.

Great local cuisine; providing a range of dishes to tempt all cuisine styles inc vegetarians like me. Menues are in English and prices are very reasonable.

This long-standing dining hall is on National Route 58 in Ogimi Village in the Kunigami County. It’s known for its “gyuniku soba” (beef soba), which features mounds of stir-fried bean sprouts seasoned with black pepper as well as beef. There’s also “soki soba” (Okinawan noodles made from wheat powder) and “yakiniku okazu” (grilled meat side dish), among other original Okinawan dishes. There’s often a long line in the afternoon at this popular spot.

Dont miss the gyuniku soba! A huge amount of stir fried beef and moyashi over a bowl of noodles. Moyashi is at the right point, not raw but still very crunchy. And all that beef juice slowly...

Okinawa Pref. Miyakojimashi Hirara Shimozato 1517-1

This is the company store for the long-standing “Koja Soba Factory” founded in 1932. The store has a calm air about it that women can feel comfortable entering alone. It’s popular with the locals, and the traditional, plain taste is as enjoyable as always. The most popular item is the “soki soba” (Okinawan noodles made from wheat powder). The springy noodles are topped with soft, sweet pork, and the soup is clear and has a light taste. Both the soba sets and individual item menu offer numerous options.

Great local soba dishes all for 850 yen - must try! Really enjoyable food in a nice location - close to the airport

You’ll find this cafe and restaurant right after crossing the Kouri-ohashi Bridge. This popular spot has been featured on TV several times. The wooden building interior is decorated with seashells, and the wood produces an inviting atmosphere. This agu (Okinawan pork) restaurant uses “Kogachi agu” from the agu specialty store “Kippo” in its dishes, with “shio-yaki” (salt-grilled dish), “shabu shabu” (thinly sliced meat boiled quickly with vegetables), and other items making full use of the sweet and flavorful pork. There’s also dessert, with “Kibi soft cream,” which is topped with caramel sauce made from boiled sugarcane, enjoying particular popularity.

Okinawa Pref. Shimajirigunyaesechou Oton 1172

Situated on a small hill in Yaese Town, Shimajiri County, this restaurant features a red-brick design and offers local cuisine and sweets. The pure Ryukyu-style “karaya” tiled building is a registered Tangible Cultural Property. This restaurant has been repeatedly voted on sites such as “Hitosara” and “Tabelog” as having the “best lunch” and other distinctions. Their popular Okinawa soba uses a rich soup with a wonderfully light taste. There’s also “asa soba,” featuring noodles with sea lettuce kneaded into the flour, and “soy milk soba,” whose noodles contain soy milk. The dessert selection is impressive as well, with the “brown sugar zenzai (red bean sweet) with brown syrup and soybean flour” enjoying particular popularity. A wide selection of a la carte options is also available.

A little gem we found on TripAdvisor. Off the beaten track in this quaint little Okinawan house. The broth is so flavourful and the noodles are just the right texture. My Daughter has an egg...

Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Omoromachi 4-9-11

This restaurant specializes in Okinawa soba. Based on the concept of “harmony,” the soup is made using a painstaking process that takes two days, and it is full of the flavor of dried bonito and packed with savory flavor and richness. There are many types of soba available, including “hon-soki suba” (Okinawan soba with stewed pork spare ribs) and the meat-packed “kenpa suba.” There’s also a “children’s set” available on the side menu, which is perfect for families. As a special lunch promotion, whenever you order soba (with the exception of the mini soba), you can receive either “jushi” (Okinawan paella) or rice for free.

気になっていたお店に休日のお昼過ぎに訪問。バラックのような佇まいですが、店内は思ったより広いです。券売機で食券を購入するシステムで、各種沖縄そば以外にもカレーライス等ご飯ものも揃っていました。肝心の沖縄そばは、出汁がすっきりしていて美味しい。県外にも発送可能なお土産もありました。

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
