About 40 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is a diner located in Moromisato, Okinawa City, in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. It is famous for its Okinawa Zenzai (sweet bean soup), but it also offers a wide variety of food such as Okinawa soba (buckwheat noodles) with bonito broth and Showa-esque yellow curry. The charm of this restaurant is that you can enjoy both meals and desserts without leaving the restaurant.
Point 1: Near Okinawa Arena! What is the location of Uehara Zenzai?
Uehara Zenzai” is located in Moromisato, Okinawa City, in the central part of the main island of Okinawa.
It is just a 3-minute drive from the “Okinawa Arena” and a short distance from the “Okinawa Minami IC” of the Okinawa Expressway, so it is easily accessible by car.
By bus, you can take the Ryukyu Bus to the “Music Town” area along Route 330 (#120, bound for the International Passenger Terminal) and get off at “Naka-machi” (for Naha Bus Terminal), a 2-minute walk from the bus stop.
After getting off the bus stop, the store is located along the same road, so it is easy to find.
It is located in a residential area in Moromisato, Okinawa City, near Koza Athletic Park where the Hiroshima Carp has its camp and the Okinawa Arena, so when there is an event, there will be a lot of traffic, so if you don’t like crowds, it would be better to check the event beforehand.
Point 2: Introducing “Uehara Zenzai’s” Okinawa Zenzai and other dessert menus.
Uehara Zenzai offers plain Okinawa Zenzai with hot Zenzai, ice milk (shown in the photo), colorful Mizore and Kintoki, Milk Kintoki, and Strawberry Milk.
The highly acclaimed milk Zenzai (550 yen), heaped up high in a vortex, looks delicious and is generally not too sweet, but the Kintoki beans and Shiratama (white beans), which are sweet, are soft and have an exquisite texture that does not overpower the taste of the milk. You can sense the ability of this long-established shop.
The plain Zenzai is also good, but we recommend the milk Zenzai with plenty of milk if possible.
Point 3: What else is on the “Uehara Zenzai” Okinawa Zenzai menu?
Uehara Zenzai is famous for its Okinawa Zenzai, but the restaurant also offers a variety of food dishes, including Okinawa Soba.
The “Okinawa soba” is a must-try, and the aroma of the bonito soup stock is irresistible.
In these days when only a few places use bonito soup stock, this restaurant that does not change its policy of using only bonito soup stock can be said to be a rare find.
It is an eternal topic of discussion among Okinawa soba jogoo (Okinawa soba lovers) whether to use bonito broth like Shuri Soba or pork bone broth like Hama-ya.
Other menu items include a Showa-style yellow curry (800 yen) made of wheat flour and curry powder and a set of curry with pork cutlet and Okinawa soba (1,050 yen).
For those who don’t want to order a la carte, there is also the “Soba Set” (800 yen), which includes pork and egg, Okinawa soba, and rice, and the “Ladies Set” (700 yen), which includes pork and egg, half-soba, juicy, and sweet.
Established in 2000, “Uehara Zenzai” has the appearance of a long-established mid-sized restaurant, and offers not only Okinawa Zenzai but also a wide variety of food items. Please come and visit us.
