Ryukyu Island Quisine Tanmu
A cozy, intimate Okinawan izakaya in Onna Village with just 20 seats split between tatami rooms and table seating, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere with traditional Okinawan decor. Run by a welcoming family, Tanmu specializes in taro (taimo) dishes -- a prized Okinawan root vegetable used in celebrations -- and their signature Kumejima chicken mizutaki hot pot, a collagen-rich white broth that is the house showpiece. The menu features handmade classics like duru-ten (fried taro croquettes), goya champuru, sea grapes, jimami tofu, and soki soba, all made with locally sourced Okinawan ingredients. The bar stocks rare awamori including Awanami and Miyanokura, plus fruit liqueurs. A short walk from Renaissance Resort Okinawa, it draws both hotel guests and locals looking for authentic island home cooking.
