Arguably the best Okinawa soba in Chatan, and a memorable dining experience in American Village, is Sunagawa Noodle Factory, serving Miyako-style Okinawa Soba and Premium Wagyu yakiniku meals. A must-visit eatery just steps from Sunset Beach, this popular local restaurant combines authentic Okinawan flavors with premium Japanese Wagyu barbecue.It’s an ideal stop for lunch, dinner, or a sunset meal.

Conveniently located on the corner of Plaza F in American Village, the restaurant is easy to find thanks to its colorful, over 2-meter-tall shisa statue keeping watch at it’s front. Guests can dine indoors or relax on the breezy terrace while enjoying the lively seaside atmosphere of one of Okinawa's most popular tourist destinations.

The tall Shisa statue by the restaurant entrance, created by Shisa artist Mitsuo Miyagi, is a "Shuri Castle Restoration Shisa," incorporates red roof tiles from Shuri Castle, which was destroyed in the 2019 fire. The location has become a popular photo spot.

The restaurant's signature Okinawa soba is made with chewy fresh noodles and a rich bonito broth that is slowly simmered to bring out its deep, savory flavor. The popular Special Soba is generously topped with tender pork rib (soki) and braised pork belly, while local favorites such as Aasa Seaweed Soba and Yushi Tofu Soba offer delicious alternatives.

For meat lovers, Sunagawa Noodle Factory serves premium Wagyu yakiniku. Carefully selected Japanese Wagyu is delivered fresh from the restaurant's affiliated butcher in Naha Public Market, ensuring exceptional quality and flavor. Guests can also enjoy Okinawa's famous Agu pork and a variety of barbecue specialities, allowing customers to experience two of Okinawa's most beloved cuisines in one restaurant.

Don't forget to take a photo with the impressive Shuri Castle Restoration Shisa at the entrance. Created by renowned shisa artist Mitsuo Miyagi, the sculpture incorporates red roof tiles recovered from the 2019 fire at Shuri Castle, symbolizing Okinawa's resilience and cultural heritage.
