About a minute’s drive from Naha Airport. It is a Western-style izakaya located in Okinawa City in the central part of Okinawa Island. The name of the restaurant is quite impressive, but the food is just as impressive. Starting with their specialty smoked meat dishes, new and stylish dishes are created one after another.
Point 1: Deep Okinawa City! What is the location of “Ryukyu CHOP”?
Ryukyu CHOP” is a Western-style izakaya located in Moromisato, Okinawa City, which celebrated its 7th anniversary in November 2024. It is a bar with a stylish exterior and interior where you can enjoy a relaxing drink in a relaxed, adult atmosphere.
The bar is always full of customers, as it offers hearty Western-style dishes at reasonable prices! It is only open at night, but we wish it would be open during the day as well.
It is located along Route 330 in Okinawa City, between Park Avenue and Lycam! The location is very easy to find because it is along the national highway.
It is 46 minutes from Naha Airport via Okinawa Expressway. By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 113, get off at Sonoda, and you will arrive at the store in 7 minutes on foot.
It is a good idea to keep this route in mind because you can get there in one line without having to change trains, and since it is via Okinawa Expressway, it takes about 1 hour, the same amount of time as by car!
Point 2: Cheap despite the generous portions! Introducing the popular menu of Ryukyu CHOP!
Ryukyu CHOP” is an izakaya specializing in smoked and meat dishes.
In particular, meat such as “instant smoked beef sirloin Tagliata” (1,780 yen) and “char-grilled magred canard with homemade honey mustard sauce” (1,680 yen), “prefectural tuna rare cutlet with tartar sauce” (1,380 yen) and “sauteed caper butter of toro saba directly from Tsukiji” (980 yen), The generous portions of these dishes are very popular. (Prices may be subject to change.)
The main dish is such a hearty dish at such a reasonable price!
Side dishes include assorted smoked fish, crunchy onion rings, scallion steamed in white wine, and mushroom Ajillo with Marutto Iodadako, ranging in price from 380 to 1,100 yen.
The waitstaff is young and energetic, and they are known for their pleasant customer service, as they are flexible enough to help you find a seat at the sister restaurant on the second floor when the first floor is full.
With a restaurant like this, you will inevitably want to return again and again.
Point 3: Introduction of recommended dessert menu for “Ryukyu CHOP”!
At Ryukyu CHOP, desserts are also very attractive.
Take for example the homemade crispy crème brûlée. It is made with local eggs and fresh vanilla beans, and the rich vanilla flavor is irresistible!
There is also a homemade truffle chocolate that goes very well with alcohol. These are 2 packs for 1,000 yen. Not only are they served at the store, but they are also available at 39 Marche in Kitanakagusuku.
I also recommend the “Catalana,” which is also made with fresh, rich eggs. This dessert is also similar to crème brûlée, but it is made a bit firmer, like a harder version of pudding.
The egg yolk is rich and flavorful because it is made with locally raised eggs.
Ryukyu CHOP, a Western-style izakaya located in Okinawa City, central Okinawa Island, is popular among locals for its hearty and delicious Western-style bar-style dishes at a reasonable price. Please come and try it for yourself.
