Okibura Reviews

Tutan is a hidden gem of a bistro for adults, tucked away in the woods of Nago City. We visited for our wedding anniversary dinner! In the restaurant’s relaxed atmosphere, we were able to take our time enjoying dishes that paired perfectly with our drinks.
What really stood out were the generously portioned dishes. The cold appetizers and main courses were all very filling, and since you could freely mix and match the dishes however you liked, it felt like I was enjoying a mini-course meal! The menu was full of dishes that anyone who loves alcohol would find irresistible.
The staff are friendly and take the time to recommend drinks that pair well with the food, so even first-time visitors can feel right at home! The illuminated terrace seating is romantic, making this the perfect spot for a special evening. We had a truly wonderful wedding anniversary ♡
