If you find yourself in Uruma, Okinawa, make sure to stop by Nan Kuru, a charming café that embodies the essence of local cuisine. Nestled at 485 Gushikawa, this quaint spot specializes in serving up delightful home-cooked Japanese dishes with a comforting twist.

The atmosphere at Nan Kuru is nothing short of serene. The café is adorned with a beautifully maintained garden, which offers a tranquil escape that invites all ages to unwind. It's no wonder that you'll often find groups of elder ladies enjoying their meals amidst the floral backdrop, sharing laughter and life stories. The warm, inviting decor complemented by the sounds of nature creates an ideal setting for a leisurely meal or a chance to catch up with friends.

As you peruse the menu, you'll be drawn to the culinary gems that await you. One highlight is the ebiten (shrimp tempura), which has been raved about for its exceptional taste and crisp texture. Pair it with some refreshing chiffon cake or sata andagi (traditional Okinawan doughnuts) for dessert, both of which customers have praised for their light sweetness and delightful presentation. There's a lovely surprise element as well; the dessert and drink station is self-serve, allowing you to indulge at your own pace.

Reviewers have shared their delightful experiences, with one customer, 'Devon Buckner,' expressing his delight, saying, "I loved everything about this place! It has a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere..." This sentiment resonates with many who visit and quickly find themselves enchanted by the café's ambiance and offerings. Another reviewer, 'hiro k,' noted that the meals are lovingly prepared, emphasizing the homestyle feel of the dishes, while also mentioning the care taken in the café's beautiful garden that adds to the overall experience.

While some customers may mention that the establishment could use a little extra dusting, most agree that the authentic Japanese flavors and the heartfelt service are what truly make Nan Kuru stand out. Whether you are taking a break from exploring Okinawa or simply looking for a cozy gathering spot, let Nan Kuru staff provide you with a meal that warms your heart and satisfies your palate.

Come visit Nan Kuru for a charming and delightful culinary experience that feels just like home.

食事はとても美味しく、特にエビの天ぷらは絶品でした。デザートはシフォンケーキとサーターアンダーギーでしたが、おかわりしても良いよ〜とおっしゃってました^^少し気になったのは、お店が少しホコリっぽいかなと感じました

二回目の利用でしたがお料理は一手間かけた家庭的な和食で品数も多く大変美味しく頂きました!シンプルなスイーツとコーヒーも付いています!お庭も手入れされていて素敵でした。癒されました。 追記 久々の利用でしたが、お料理は変わらず美味しかったです。土曜日でしたので念の為予約しましたが、正解でした!来店時で満席でした。お値段は少し上がった気がしますが、この御時世仕方ないかと…納得の内容だと思います。ご馳走様でした。

うるま市具志川にあるNan Kuruは年配のお友だちに誘われて行ったのがはじめの来店でした。 客層も年配女性が5~6名で利用しているのをよく見かけます。模合してるのかな?と思う雰囲気でした笑。 食事は優しいお味で品数が多く贅沢気分を味わえます。 デザートとドリンクはセルフで取るスタイルでした。 テラス席もあってお庭は綺麗に手入れされていました。女性が多く集まる理由の一つかもしれません。

I stumbled upon this little cafe on accident, and what a beautiful surprise. One of the cutest restaurants I have ever come across. There are only 2 menu items that are omakase style besides the protein which you can choose. There is also a small drink bar which includes a fresh pot of coffee and chiffon cake and sata andagi. English is very limited but that did not hinder the ladies’ wonderful service. I felt as if I was at a family member’s home due to the ambience and food. You can watch as they prepare your meal. There is a beautiful garden and a wonderful view of it from the inside. Seriously a warm and cozy place.

I loved everything about this place! It has a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere- the ideal setting for attracting old ladies to socialize and dine. The coffee and snacks are free. They only have two entrées on the menu, and I had ordered the fish one. It was absolutely delicious, and very reasonably priced. My kind of place!

庭の写真に吊られて訪問しました。 行ってみると予想以上の庭広さビックリ! 園芸好きな方にオススメです。 店内はオーナーさんの趣味と思われる装飾品でいっぱいで、こちらも好きな方にはたまらないかもですね。 更に店の方が皆さん親切で気持ち良く食事が出来ました。 メニューはおまかせ御膳とテビチ御膳の2種類でしたがどちらも手の込んでいて美味しかったです。
