Step into the heart of Naha's Kokusai Dori, and on the second floor of Rocore Hotel lies a yakiniku gem cherished by both Okinawa locals and tourists alike — Yakiniku Motobu Farm Kokusai Dori Branch. Adjacent to Kenchō‑mae monorail station, there's no need to trek after shopping — simply head upstairs and enjoy authentic farm‑direct black‑haired wagyu, adding the true flavour of Ryukyu beef to your travel memories.

This restaurant is a direct‑operated outlet of Motobu Town Farm. The signature "Motobu Beef" has been honoured with the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize. Raised freely in the vast fields of Yanbaru and nurtured with feed fermented with Orion beer lees, the marbling is fine and delicate, with a rich yet smooth aroma that never feels greasy — a wagyu flavour unique to Okinawa. The thick‑cut premium beef tongue is a must‑order; after charcoal grilling, it's crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a light squeeze of lemon elevating the natural sweetness of the meat. The premium sirloin and marbled short rib boast marble‑like fat patterns; the moment they hit the charcoal grill, the juices burst forth, melting instantly on the tongue with none of the heavy greasiness of ordinary beef. Beyond the signature wagyu, Ryukyu Agu pork, Yanbaru chicken, and fresh seafood grills are also available, paired with their secret house salt sauce and sweet yakiniku sauce — two flavours to mix and match as you please.

The interior is modern and minimalist, blending understated Ryukyu design. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows offer views over Kokusai Dori street scenes, with cushioned booth seating and private rooms available — suitable for romantic dates, family gatherings, or group tours. Smoke‑free charcoal grilling equipment keeps the oil smoke at bay, so you won't leave smelling of barbecue. The restaurant is fully stocked with sake, awamori, and Okinawan fruit liquors — grilled meat with a light buzz perfectly complements the summer island vibe. Complete set menus range from light lunches to hearty dinners, featuring seasonal side dishes, refreshing salads, and finishing with Motobu beef curry and island‑berry sorbet — a full‑course experience that satisfies every craving.

Being inside Rocore Hotel, dining is incredibly convenient for guests — after shopping or admiring the Kokusai Dori night views, you can simply take a seat without wasting travel time. The staff carefully assist with grilling, so even first‑timers needn't worry about burning premium wagyu, allowing you to relax and enjoy the whole experience. When travelling to Okinawa, there's no need to journey far to Motobu Farm — right in the heart of Kokusai Dori, you can savour award‑winning local wagyu. Enjoy a charcoal‑grilled feast and take home a full taste of Ryukyu, adding an unforgettable culinary surprise to your slow‑paced Naha getaway.
