A popular okonomiyaki shop in Okinawa, run by an Osakan owner. Umanosuke Maehara (Maehara, Ginowan City)

Okonomiyaki speciality shop "Umanosuke" has an original arrangement to make okonomiyaki and monjayaki with a hot iron. Making okonomiyaki is fun and easy. You can either let the staff do okonomiyaki for you, or you can also make the okonomiyaki yourself using the iron pan on each table.

What a unique shop sign! This okonomiyaki flavor has been continually offered for the last 30 years here at Okinawa's Umanosuke okonomiyaki restaurant.

The owner from Osaka opened the Umanosuke okonomiyaki restaurant in Okinawa in 1983. It first opened in Ganeko in Ginowan City but moved to the current store in Maehara in 2012. There are also two locations in Tomigusuku which are part of the current franchise, however, there are two restaurants in Okinawa. The restaurant was introduced in a manga, and there is even an anecdote from that same manga. Inside the store and the entrance, there is a unique sign illustrated by a Japanese designer and a drawing decorated by the owner. It is a great sign you can laugh at and have fun. You should check out the T-shirts staff members are wearing.
