Japanese restaurant • 1-chōme-4-15 Ōminami, Nago, Okinawa 905-0015, Japan
Tucked away at the end of Mikasa Street in Nago City's special drink street "Midori-machi," Takara Sushi is a hidden gem cherished by locals for years. The skills of the chef, trained in Tokyo, combined with fresh Okinawan ingredients, offer exquisite Japanese cuisine.
The biggest allure of Takara Sushi is its dishes made with fresh seafood. The omakase sushi assortment (￥4,500) allows you to enjoy a variety of flavors, from staple items like chutoro (medium-fatty tuna) to melt-in-your-mouth mackerel. Additionally, the salt-grilled gurukun just taken from the tank is also a delicacy.
Another charm of Takara Sushi is the availability of Okinawan homestyle dishes beyond sushi. You can enjoy local flavors with dishes like fu champloo, rafute, and island shallot tempura. The garlic-stir-fried squid (￥500) is an excellent sake accompaniment, perfectly paired with awamori.
The appeal of Takara Sushi extends beyond the food. The chef's quiet but well-balanced hospitality is one of the reasons regulars are fond of this place. The atmosphere is not too noisy, allowing you to enjoy your meal leisurely and comfortably.
Takara Sushi is an essential Japanese restaurant not to be missed when visiting Nago. Please enjoy the dishes crafted with local flavors and skillful craftsmanship at least once.
