OkuMasa opened in June 2023.
The owner-chef is Masataka Arasaki, known for “ShabuMasa .”
ShabuMasa overturns the conventional concept of shabu-shabu and serves mainly “fresh island vegetables from Yanbaru.” It has become popular among Okinawa repeat visitors and shabu-shabu fans as a special restaurant where you can enjoy seasonal island vegetables together with special Agu pork.
At this new restaurant, we aim to be a beloved local establishment—offering simple yet fresh flavors rooted in the community, while honoring Okinawa’s traditions and food culture. We are also creating new ways to enjoy island ingredients that could not be fully expressed through shabu-shabu alone.
Our foundation is the ingredients that the people of this island cherish and nurture, and the local culture they love. We take into account not only the ingredients, but also the attitude and passion of the people of the island towards their work, and we sincerely engage with the ingredients and reflect them in our cuisine. We are not a restaurant that serves the best gourmet food imported from all over the world, but rather a restaurant that pursues the natural and simple tastes that can be tasted locally, and the rich flavors that permeate the whole body.
For both locals and guests from around the world, we spare no effort in our craftsmanship. With an artisan’s dedication and a warm, homely touch, we aim to deliver dishes that satisfy not just the appetite but also the heart.
