Blue ocean and sky, the sound of waves lapping on the white sandy beach… A popular restaurant where you can enjoy a relaxing meal while gazing at such scenery is Hamanabe-no-chaya. It is surprising to learn that this is a long-established restaurant in Okinawa, founded in 1994, long before the café boom arrived in Okinawa.
The food is exquisite, and the line of people waiting in line for lunch is long.
It’s like a picture! The best counter seats
The most popular place at Hamanabe-no-chaya is the counter seating by the large window overlooking the ocean. The ocean spread out in front of you never looks the same, no matter what the weather is, morning, noon, or night. The scenery surrounded by wooden frames is as beautiful as if you were looking at a painting. You may even feel as if you are floating on the sea. Not only tourists but also locals will be able to discover the beauty of Okinawa.
Seats cannot be reserved, but you can enjoy your meal on the rooftop terrace or the sandy beach below the restaurant.
The flavor of the ingredients comes alive. Dishes that are vibrant to the eye
Along with the beauty of the scenery, the food served here is outstandingly delicious. Using seasonal vegetables and locally grown products, you can feel the taste of Okinawa on your tongue as well. The colorful items, such as umi Budou and taimo, are sure to be a feast for the eyes because they are so fresh!
Our recommended homemade natural yeast bread is available in sandwiches and toast. Our original blend of coffee and tropical-colored drinks go perfectly with our desserts.
We also offer morning breakfast, so you can take a relaxing break on weekdays when there are relatively few people around.。
Spend time with nature in a restaurant filled with stories.
The owner and her friends handcrafted everything from the chairs to the tables in the store, which stands alone by the seaside, using an abundance of wood. The restaurant is filled with the desire to “let people feel Okinawa as it is” by living in harmony with nature.
After enjoying the scenery and food, be sure to take a look at the “Customer Impression Notebook. The notebook, which has been available since the opening of the restaurant, contains the memories of various people who have spent time at the restaurant. It is a wonderful space that tells a story not only in the building but also in the atmosphere.
