Yukuidokoro TAO
A charming art cafe housed in a lovingly renovated 70-year-old traditional Okinawan residence, tucked away in a quiet alley just a minute's walk from the famous Yachimun pottery street in Tsuboya. The interior features warm wooden floors, handmade paper lanterns, and rustic furniture that create an intimate, gallery-like atmosphere where handcrafted shisa figurines and pottery are displayed alongside the cafe seating. Recently reborn as a fully vegan cafe, the compact menu focuses on plant-based offerings such as vegan pasta, freshly baked muffins, and specialty drinks including Okinawan brown sugar latte and drip coffee served in local yachimun cups. The resident mascot dog TAO greets visitors at the entrance, adding to the relaxed, homey vibe that draws both locals and tourists looking for a peaceful escape.
