yukuRu Handmade Okinawan Gelato
Located on Senagajima Island-the closest remote island to Okinawa's main island-yukuRu is a popular Italian gelato shop nestled within the scenic Senagajima Umikaji Terrace. Here, you can enjoy freshly made, handcrafted gelato prepared daily in the on-site kitchen. The owner is a graduate of the prestigious Gelato University in Bologna, Italy, and also operates one of Okinawa’s largest dairy farms to ensure the freshest milk is used-raising expectations for both quality and flavor.
When visiting Senagajima Island, besides enjoying the ocean and watching planes take off and land, you can't miss having a scoop of gelato! This time I went to yukuRu and enjoyed authentic Italian gelato with an ocean view. The whole atmosphere was super relaxing〜
I ordered the “Premium Milk” and “Okinawa Berry” flavors.
The Premium Milk was rich and creamy, with a strong milky flavor. It was delicious! The Okinawa Berry flavor was quite intense, which was a little too much for me. After finishing it, I kind of regretted not choosing a more refreshing flavor.
