This American fast food restaurant has a history that began when it opened as a root beer stand in California in 1919.

This local restaurant uses a kominka (old house) centered on Asato residence, constructed in the late Meiji period (1868–1912). In the afternoon, in addition to Okinawan soba wheat noodles, you can enjoy their prided Agu pork dishes and steak using wagyu beef from the prefecture, and reservations are only available for the shabu-shabu course and wagyu steak. They only offer courses of Ryukyu dishes or Agu pork at night.

Make your reservations online as the place can be packed. We ordered the Agu pork shabu shabu set for 3 persons and really enjoyed the meat and the fresh vegetables. The resulting broth at the end...

Kishimoto Cafeteria is a long-established (founded in 1905) Okinawan Soba Noodles restaurant located in Motobu Town. The restaurant’s signature dish is its hand-made “Ash Soba Noodles,” made with broth derived from the clear upper layer of water that has had rice straw ash dissolved in it. The rich-flavored dried bonito soup stock and thick hand-made noodles have remained largely unchanged since the restaurant was first established. Kishimoto Cafeteria is very popular with both tourists and locals.

Yanbaru Soba

Gourmet / Alcohol

Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunmotobuchou Izumi 70-1

Despite being located a two-hour drive from Naha Airport in Motobu Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa Prefecture, this Okinawa soba noodle restaurant is so popular, lines of waiting customers form outside its door. Operating out of an Okinawan style wooden Japanese home with a red tile roof, the restaurant's tatami mat seating gives it an old fashioned, Showa period atmosphere. The establishment's medium thick noodles are served in a fairly thick skipjack tuna based broth. Here customers can enjoy soki soba noodles topped with sweet and salty stewed spare rib, and san-mai niku soba topped with three strips of sweet and salty stewed boneless pork rib. Lines often form outside the door before the restaurant even opens and the establishment closes when supplies run out. This popular restaurant is frequently featured on television and in magazines.

Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunnakijinson Imadomari 3570

Located in Nakijin Village in Kunigami County, this Japanese-style pub will make you feel like you’ve been transported back to the Showa period. The retro atmosphere is made more vibrant by the patrons, many of whom are foreign and of all ages. The dishes are mainly Okinawan, such as seared Nakijin beef and papaya chanpuru (Okinawan stir fry, only available during certain periods). One surprising feature is the faucet at each table that dispenses awamori (millet brandy), which is available for use if you get the three-hour all-you-can-drink course. With private rooms and tatami seating also available, there’s something to suit everyone’s needs.

This is a restaurant in the middles of no-where and it serves really great food! Service was excellent and we order from a tablet that offers several languages including Chinese, English, Korean...

Plenty of other local cuisine is available as well.

Okinawa Pref. Kunigamigunnakijinson Kouri 321

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.

Ordered the curry rice (about 660Yen) and the sugar cane coffee. Great view of the bridge and water.

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.
