Sōsaku Washoku Hana Asagi / Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture: 20 years of dedication to Japanese cuisine. A popular hidden gem that impresses even the most discerning foodies.

Located in Yomitan Village, Okinawa Prefecture, “Sōsaku Washoku Hana Asagi” is a hidden gem that serves creative Japanese cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients. The owner has 20 years of experience dedicated exclusively to Japanese cuisine. After training in the Kansai region, he opened this restaurant in Yomitan Village, located in the central part of Okinawa’s main island. The interior exudes the warmth of wood and features both counter seating and tatami-mat seating. We especially recommend the counter seats, where you can enjoy your meal while chatting with the chef!

Exterior and Interior of "Sōsaku Washoku Hana-Asagi"

It’s located along National Route 58. On the way from Yomitan Village—past the Kina Checkpoint—toward Onna Village, it stands alone just before Aloha Golf and Okinawa Ham. It’s relatively close to Yachimun no Sato.

There are about eight seats at the counter. You can enjoy delicious food and fine sake while chatting with the owner.

There’s also a single tatami-mat room in the back. It seems there’s always someone dining there during dinner hours. At lunchtime, you can enjoy a roast beef rice bowl for 1,000 yen.

Lunch Special: Roast Beef Rice Bowl

It retains a vibrant red color, and you can fully savor the rich flavor of Wagyu. I was able to enjoy various combinations in my mouth—with the seasoning, green onions, and egg yolk.

A friend who came with me said, “This is so delicious, it’ll be gone in a flash, lol,” so we took turns eating the side dishes and enjoyed our conversation, managing to savor the meal at a leisurely pace.

Son-chan was sitting next to me, saying, “I can totally eat two.” What’s up with her appetite?

Lunch Special: Mini Kaiseki

The Mini Kaiseki (2,200 yen) is also popular; it includes sashimi, soup, a main course, dessert, rice, red miso soup, and pickles. During my visit, I was served stuffed cabbage rolls packed with ginger—a dish that really warms you up.

Enjoy sashimi made from fresh fish carefully selected by the owner.

The main course—Japanese-style cabbage rolls—delivers a gentle burst of traditional Japanese flavors with every bite. The cabbage wrapping is cooked to perfection, remaining tender yet holding its shape, and it falls apart delicately in your mouth.

Rather than a soup, the sauce—deliberately crafted as a thick paste—enhances the flavor of each individual ingredient and brings the entire dish into harmony. The exquisite seasoning—neither too rich nor too bland—is a delicate touch characteristic of Hana-Asagi, highlighting the natural deliciousness of the ingredients.

Okibura Reviews

It was a restaurant I’d had my eye on for a long time, and people from Yomitan Village and Onna Village had told me time and again that “Hana-Asagi is delicious.”

Seeing the owner’s gentle face—which never seems to show any sign of anger—puts me at ease. The cuisine features carefully selected local ingredients, prepared with a light seasoning that brings out their natural flavors, allowing me to enjoy a truly heartwarming experience. The restaurant’s atmosphere exudes an elegance reminiscent of a traditional Kyoto ryotei, creating a truly special experience.​

She ordered the roast beef rice bowl with a set of four side dishes, and I ordered the mini kaiseki meal; for dessert, we both had brown sugar pudding. It had a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a mature flavor with a hint of the characteristic bitterness of brown sugar!

"Sōsaku Washoku Hana-Asagi" is a Japanese restaurant beloved by both locals and tourists. Since seating is limited, both for lunch and dinner,We recommend making a reservation in advance!
