The restaurant, boasting an inviting American ambiance, is not merely a place to dine but a culinary journey meticulously crafted by Okinawa-born connoisseurs.
The very name “U-MAKU” reflects the spirited essence of Okinawa, adding a playful touch to the dining atmosphere. Delight your senses with a menu curated from fresh, direct-from-Okinawa ingredients, complemented by a diverse selection of alcoholic beverages, including the renowned awamori.
A must-try masterpiece is the Okinawa soba, adorned with the succulent Rafute (Okinawan Braised Pork Belly).
