Its greatest appeal is that, despite its prime location in the heart of Kokusai Street, you can enjoy authentic live Shimauta performances and Okinawan cuisine at the same time. Following in the footsteps of the hugely popular original location, the Makishi branch also promises an experience that will become a cherished memory of your Okinawa trip. It’s Okibura’s top recommendation in the Naha area for anyone who wants to enjoy both Aguu pork shabu-shabu and Okinawan folk music.
