We went around 3pm and were told lunch buffet (¥1868pp) would end at 5pm. There’s a wide variety of Okinawan food such as jimami tofu, seaweed (mozuku, umibudo), tofu soba,etc which is a great way to try the local food along with the usual Japanese fare. Note that there isn’t any sushi or sash...imi here. There’s a little toaster oven where you can toast the mini croissants. There are also 9 types of drinks and Shikuwasa is one of them. I like the peach and vinegar drink. Hot drinks are included. For dessert, try the cheesecake, pineapples, brown sugar mochi, chocolate fountain and ice cream with flavors like Beni Imo, salted cookie vanilla (local specialty) All in all, pretty good value and a one stop place to try Okinawan food.

We went to the top of the department store Ryubo and just happened upon this buffet. We paid 1300 JPY for all you can eat and wished we had more stomachs to fill. There was so much variety and you could sample the full range of Okinawan food as well as some Japanese food. They even had a fountain of... chocolate in the dessert section for your own fondue. The food was not gourmet persay, but it was solidly good. The cute plates divided into 9 parts was the best for trying out all the food. Even the dessert plate had six divisions!

Buffet spread is not much but the overall food was not bad, the indoor plant box is cool, you can see them grow their own vegetable and tomato tree

This place is great. Don't expect very high quality food but it's value for money. It's pure Japanese buffet with a lot of elements from Okinawa. You can enjoy all the famous Okinawa cuisine in one place.

It's a place of many options. However, not as many for vegetarian as for the others. Many dishes are described but some ate not. Just ask around to know what is what.
