The owner, whose husband was a former US Marine, opened the restaruant after collecting American kitchenware and interior items that were cherished long ago. "ZUMI CAFE" was opened with the desire to establish a restaurant in which traditional cooking and American kitchenware interior were favorably combined.

Collecting miscellaneous antique goods was a hobby of the owner who is from Miyako island (a remote island of Okinawa). The goods please the American customers as they say that they remind them of their grandmother 's house. "I think that it is good to have items that I believe are nostalgic in the eyes of American customers," said the owner with a smile.

Not only is the shop decorated with pretty cute feminine items; there are also cool items containing designs of cars and motorcycles. This is the owner's husband selection too. Since the space is not too feminine, the atmosphere is appropriate even for businesmen.

The most popular dish on our menu is the "ZUMI Burger with soup or drink (750 yen)." The combination of peanut butter and strawberry jam make for the ideal burger. While knowing about the authentic pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, we rearrange them using peanut butter, which Okinawan people love. We created a balance between sweetness and the salty taste of the hamburger steak.

ほとんどのメニューのセットに、ドリンクまたはクラムチャウダーが選べるこちら。可愛いジャーに入ったドリンクもいいけれど、ぜひオススメしたいのがクラムチャウダーです。1950年代からアメリカでダイナーを営んでいたオーナーの友人が、ダイナーを閉店することになりました。しかし店のレシピは誰も引き継げない状態に。それを知ったオーナーが名乗りを上げました。濃厚でクリーミーな味わいに仕上げるための秘密のレシピは、意外なあるモノが隠し味というのが気になります。

Doria (950 yen), made with clam chowder on top of rice, was first created for the staff. At first it was only offered as a winter meal, but now because of its popularity, it is on our grand menu. Made with vegetables, seafood, grilled cheese. The garlic butter mixed with rice adds to the taste.
