5 Best Izakaya Near SUNZ ROOMS — Local Dining Within Walking Distance of Miebashi Station

If you're staying at SUNZ ROOMS, make sure to explore the local dining scene on foot. The area around Miebashi Station isn't a flashy tourist strip — it's a quieter neighborhood where locals actually eat and drink. That's exactly why you'll find some of the most authentic Okinawan food here. Below are five izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) within walking distance of SUNZ ROOMS, each offering something different — from Okinawan pork shabu-shabu to freshly caught seafood to creative fusion cuisine.

5 izakaya you can walk to from SUNZ ROOMS

1. Shabu-Shabu Ganaha (formerly Ganaha Pork Shop) — 1 min walk

This is quite possibly the closest restaurant to SUNZ ROOMS. Ganaha is a shabu-shabu restaurant directly operated by a local pork farm, specializing in Okinawa's premium Agu pork. Their most popular option is a tasting set that lets you compare three varieties: Yanbaru Agu, Yanbaru Shimabuta Agu, and Shimakuru. The shabu-shabu is served in a light kelp and jasmine tea broth that lets the natural sweetness of the pork shine through. Lunch offers affordable set meals as well. This is the same landmark mentioned in our walking guide from Miebashi Station. Check their official website for current hours and holidays.

2. Uminto Izakaya Ichirouya — 1 min walk

"Uminto" means fisherman in the Okinawan dialect, and that's exactly what the owner is. He catches fish from the waters around Okinawa himself, so the seafood here is as fresh as it gets. The sashimi platter changes daily depending on the catch, meaning every visit offers something new. Don't miss the aosa seaweed dashimaki egg and the crispy deep-fried gurukun (banana fish) — you can eat the bones and all. They also have an impressive selection of awamori (Okinawan spirit). Located on the same street as SUNZ ROOMS in Maejima 1-chome, you literally can't get lost. Check their official site for hours and holidays.

3. Chisouan Ryukyu Miebashi — 3 min walk

A charcoal-grilled skewer specialist that will surprise you with its pricing — most items on the menu are just ¥300 each. The chicken is freshly prepared in-house every morning, skewered by hand, and grilled over premium binchotan charcoal. The tare sauce is homemade from chicken bones simmered for over 8 hours, while the salt-grilled options use a special house blend. Beyond skewers, there are over 60 other dishes and 50+ drinks including cocktails and shochu. Open late, it's perfect for a late dinner or a second stop of the evening. Located in Maejima 1-chome, just a short walk from SUNZ ROOMS. Check their official site for hours and holidays.

4. Jimanya — 6 min walk

Hidden in a back alley off Kokusai Street, Jimanya is a renovated traditional Okinawan house that locals and tourists alike call one of the best izakaya in all of Okinawa. The must-order dish is "tsuke-mozuku" — a creative twist where you dip mozuku seaweed in a savory chicken nanban sauce, almost like tsukemen noodles but with seaweed. Their "Pineapple Pork" (raised on pineapple-supplemented feed) shabu-shabu and tonkatsu are also exceptional. Reservations are strongly recommended as walk-ins are rarely accepted. Check their official site for hours and holidays.

5. hi-na-ta 2072 — 4 min walk

A stylish creative Japanese restaurant just 4 minutes from Miebashi Station. The chef, who is also a trained bartender, designs every dish to pair perfectly with drinks. The menu features Wagyu beef, local Kibimaru pork, and seasonal fish that the chef personally selects at the market each morning. The fully glass-fronted entrance makes it easy to peek inside before entering — a welcoming touch for first-time visitors. With both counter and table seating, it's ideal for couples, small groups, or anyone looking for a more refined dining experience. Check their official site for hours and holidays.
