Italian Restaurant Chura-Nuhji
A unique Italian dining experience infused with the flavors of Okinawa’s four seasons.
Chura-Nuhji is a fine Italian restaurant that showcases the rich flavors of Okinawa’s natural bounty through authentic Italian cuisine. Located on the 3rd-floor lobby level of The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa in Nago City, the restaurant’s name—Chura-Nuhji—comes from the Okinawan word for “beautiful rainbow.”
The interior is an elegant fusion of modern design and traditional Ryukyuan architecture, enhanced with touches of local artistry like Ryukyu glass and handcrafted ceramics. There’s also a terrace overlooking a serene water garden, offering a breezy, open-air dining experience.
The menu features dishes made with premium Okinawan ingredients—from local beef and fresh seafood to seasonal vegetables. Whether you choose the signature DEGUSTAZIONE course, which blends Okinawan flavors with refined Italian techniques, or select from the à la carte menu, each dish is crafted to deliver a truly one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant welcomes both hotel guests and non-staying visitors. It’s the perfect place to savor Okinawa’s vibrant food culture while enjoying a luxurious and memorable meal.
