琉球 café Isana （Isana Seaside Cafe） — Restaurant in Nakijin

We've stayed at Casa Dumai - which is in the same building as the Isana Café. Because of that, we had several opportunities to try the food at Isana Café. Everytime we went there, either for dinner or just for take away, we loved it! 🫶🏽

The service is lovely. It's a one woman business and wow, it's so impressive how fast we got our meals.

The food is delicious and made with so much love. We tried the assorted appetizers, the chicken sandwich, the pizza like tacos and the okinawa soba carbonara style. Everything was freshly made and very tasty.

I would highly recommend this place. It's the perfect restaurant for a lovely dinner with friends, for snacks when you stay at Casa Dumai or when you spend some time at the beach and get hungry.

It's a hidden diamond! 🥰

Thank you for...

This is a café with a beach in the back. This time, I ordered the pork and chicken sandwiches, and they were delicious! The pork had a teriyaki-like flavor, with a balanced mix of lean and fatty meat, following the Okinawan pork style. The chicken sandwich had a basil pesto flavor, which was very fragrant and not greasy. The chicken was juicy and tender, without any dryness.

The owner is very friendly, and there’s also a sanshin inside—if you know how to play, you can give it a try! The music played in the café was also related to Okinawa or sanshin, including a sanshin version of music from Studio Ghibli films, creating a very atmospheric vibe!

There’s a pathway leading to the beach, and there was no one around. If there were chairs and umbrellas, you could easily stay...

Isana is a peaceful and relaxing spot located right in front of the sea, offering stunning ocean views and a calm atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and a well-crafted menu. The host is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel right at home. It’s the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Okinawa. Highly...
