Located right along Kokusai Street, Island Shabu-Shabu NAKAMA offers a premium hot pot experience featuring Okinawan-grown ingredients, including rare meats and island vegetables.
The signature dish is shabu-shabu served in a rich golden broth made from carefully selected bonito flakes. For the ultimate Okinawan experience, try the Island Shabu Full Course, which lets you savor both of Okinawa’s prized meats: Ishigaki beef, praised by world leaders during the 2000 Okinawa Summit, and Kin Agu pork, known for its mild flavor and sweet, rich fat.
All courses include an island vegetable buffet, packed with nutrients from Okinawa’s bright tropical sun. Beyond shabu-shabu, the menu also features local favorites such as umibudo (sea grapes) and jimami tofu, along with a wide selection of awamori (Okinawan distilled spirits).
The interior showcases authentic Okinawan charm, with a counter framed by traditional Ryukyu red tiles, tables lit by Ryukyu glass pendant lights, and a warm, island-inspired atmosphere. You might even catch a live island music performance, held irregularly for a touch of local flair.
