Hamahiga Island, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture: Traditional Okinawan House Restaurant "T-Love-U" – Ryukyu-style Traditional House, Okinawa Soba, Lunch

It's about a 75-minute drive from Naha Airport. The shop is located in the village of "Hamahiga Island," which you reach by crossing the Underwater Road and then another bridge.

"Kominka Shokudo T-Love" is a restaurant housed in a traditional Ryukyu-style home that’s over 90 years old. The name “T-Love-U” means “basking in the sun” in the Okinawan dialect. True to its name, it is a special place where the sunlight streaming in from the veranda and the breeze blowing through create a pleasant atmosphere, allowing you to forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Hamahiga Island, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture: Traditional Okinawan House Restaurant "T-Love-U" – Ryukyu-style Traditional House, Okinawa Soba, Lunch

As you walk down the narrow alleys of the village, you’ll come upon a magnificent red-tiled roof and stone walls. The moment you step inside, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a scene that seems as if time has stood still.

Pillars that radiate the warmth of wood, a tatami room where the faint scent of straw lingers, and a well-worn low table. Once you take off your shoes and step inside, you’ll feel your heart lighten instantly. A gentle breeze unique to the island flows through the wide-open veranda, creating a sense of openness that makes you feel as if you’re relaxing at Grandma’s house. It’s a warm and welcoming space where you can relax with peace of mind, even when traveling with children.

A bowl of ramen that shines with its rich, savory broth and meticulous preparation

Packed with carefully prepared pork offal (nakami). Surprisingly, there’s absolutely no unpleasant odor, and the gentle flavor allows the rich umami of the broth to permeate your body. We invite you to savor this nakami-jiru—a traditional Okinawan celebratory dish—with a bowl of soba.
Soba Meal Set: 1,480 yen

A luxurious treat where the sweetness of the meat melds into the clear broth

With its light, subtle saltiness, this dish really brings out the natural flavor of the meat. The clear, pure broth is so delicious you’ll want to drink every last drop. We recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the quality of the ingredients in a simple way.
Salted Soki Soba Set Meal: 1,480 yen

The perfect harmony of chewy noodles and sweet-and-spicy meat

The soki pork, slowly simmered until it falls apart, pairs perfectly with the chewy noodles! It’s hearty and filling, and the portion size is generous. If you’re looking for a bowl that’ll really satisfy you, this is our top recommendation.

The Best Way to Eat Fried Jima-mi Tofu

Hamahiga Island, Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture: Traditional Okinawan House Restaurant "T-Love-U" – Ryukyu-style Traditional House, Okinawa Soba, Lunch

One item in the set of small bowls that you definitely shouldn’t miss is the “Fried Jima-mi Tofu.” It’s an irresistible dish with a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
Of course, it’s delicious just as is, but my personal favorite way to eat it is to “dip it in Okinawa soba broth”! The broth, packed with umami, soaks right into the batter, and when combined with the nutty aroma of jimaami (peanuts), you just can’t put your chopsticks down. You’ve definitely got to give it a try sometime.

This is what we experienced during our visit. Please check the prices and menu.

This is a true gem of Okinawa—a place well worth visiting as your main destination, rather than just stopping by between sightseeing stops.
