Not just a restaurant.
An experience.
Tucked away in the lush forests of Yanbaru — a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in northern Okinawa — Yanbaruya offers something you won't find anywhere else: the chance to experience Okinawa's natural environment and culinary tradition together, in one extraordinary setting.
Our signature Agu pork (アグー豚) is sourced exclusively from certified farms in Okinawa Prefecture. Agu is a rare Okinawan breed descended from pigs brought to the Ryukyu Kingdom centuries ago. Its fat melts at a lower temperature than ordinary pork, giving it an incomparably sweet, rich flavor that must be tasted to be believed.
We strictly limit the quantity we source each day, placing freshness and quality above all else. As a result, only a limited number of servings are available each day. Reservations by phone or Instagram direct message are strongly recommended.
