Mexican meets Okinawan!

The restaurant uses locally produced and consumed ingredients such as goya and Shima Rakkyo (Okinawa Shallot), which are unique to Okinawa, as well as popular ingredients like Kibimaru pork, Yanbaru chicken, and Gurukun (Perhaps the best-known fish species in Okinawa). These fresh and healthy ingredients are expertly combined to create mouth-watering dishes that are sure to delight.
One of the standout features of Ryukyu Mexican cuisine is the use of Okinawan tableware, which adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. The combination of traditional Okinawan pottery and Mexican cuisine is a true feast for the senses. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just looking for something new and exciting, the Ryukyu Mexican experience is sure to leave you feeling inspired and satisfied.
