Agu Shabu-Shabu and Okinawan Cuisine Kafu

Located in Onna Village, the restaurant’s signature dish is Agu pork shabu-shabu—a Japanese hot-pot style meal in which thinly sliced meat is briefly swished through a pot of gently simmering broth and then dipped into sauce before eating. Here, the prized Okinawan Agu pork is served with the owner’s homemade dipping sauces, allowing its natural sweetness to shine. Each guest chooses one of three options—shikuwasa ponzu, dashi soy sauce, or sesame—to complement the tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork. With its relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, the restaurant is an inviting place to slow down and savor an authentic Okinawan dining experience.

A sister location of the restaurant above, this branch offers the same comforting Okinawan flavors in a warm, inviting setting. The must-try dish is Agu pork shabu-shabu made with premium Churashima Agu pork, prized for its perfect balance of meltingly tender fat and richly flavorful lean meat. Guests can order à la carte or opt for a full course meal, which concludes with a choice of boroboro juushii (Okinawan-style rice porridge), Okinawa soba, cheese risotto, or udon. Inspired by a traditional Ryukyu-style old house, the interior creates a cozy atmosphere that encourages lingering over the meal.
