Suumanumeh is housed in an old wooden house that evokes the traditions of Okinawa.

There is also a lush green terrace outside, where you can feel a pleasant breeze in the midst of nature. In addition, tatami matted tatami room seating allows you to enjoy a relaxing meal surrounded by the nostalgic aroma of wood.

A peaceful atmosphere emanates from every seat, bringing healing to visitors. The large number of seats is also a key point, and even if the restaurant is crowded, you will be guided relatively smoothly. This may be another reason why the restaurant is so popular among locals and tourists alike.

Luxurious cup of Okinawa soba with bonito broth

The main dish, Okinawa soba, features a soup based on bonito broth. The aroma spreads from the first bite, and you will be surprised by its elegant, refreshing, yet rich flavor.

Special soba ¥1,000

This special soba noodle is full of ingredients and overflows with a sense of luxury. It contains soki, tebichi, and sampai meat! The tender pork and glutinous noodles intertwine perfectly and are perfectly satisfying.

Soki soba (large) ¥1,000

Soki Soba, a staple of Okinawa soba, features tender braised pork ribs. The texture of the meat is so tender that it falls apart in the mouth, and it goes well with the soup. The "jushi" (Okinawan-style takikomi-gohan) is a must order with soba. The rice, filled with just the right amount of sweetness and flavor, is a perfect match for the soba and allows you to enjoy the Okinawan flavor until the very last bite.
