About Kawaji Honten

Kawaji Honten brings a classic sushi dining experience to the lively Matsuyama area of Naha, Okinawa, and it instantly feels like the kind of place locals quietly recommend to friends who appreciate fresh seafood and a relaxed atmosphere. Tucked inside Compass 1F at 2 Chome−7−13, this sushi restaurant keeps things simple in the best possible way. The moment you step inside, the setting feels welcoming rather than overly formal, which makes it easy to settle in whether you are stopping by for a casual dinner or spending a longer evening exploring different sushi plates and small dishes. The menu style leans into fresh flavors and balanced portions, so it is easy to sample a variety of items without feeling rushed. Sushi lovers will probably enjoy the clean presentation and attention to detail that Japanese dining spots in Okinawa are known for.

One of the nice things about Kawaji Honten is how flexible the dining experience feels. Guests can sit down and enjoy a proper dine-in meal, or simply order takeout when they want quality sushi on the go. Curbside pickup also adds convenience for visitors staying nearby in Naha who want something reliable after a long day exploring the city. Even though there is no delivery service, the restaurant still manages to keep things accessible and easygoing.

The drink selection helps round out the experience naturally. Beer and wine pair comfortably with sushi and smaller sharing plates, while alcohol options create more of an evening dining atmosphere without making the restaurant feel loud or crowded. The small plates are especially useful for groups because everyone can try different flavors at the table while keeping the meal relaxed and conversational. Around dinner hours, the restaurant carries the calm energy of a neighborhood sushi spot where people gather for fresh food, casual drinks, and an authentic Okinawa dining experience.

Excellent sushi I love this place even it’s very traditional sushi restaurant you can also have wine and Champaign with it. It also serves cooked Japanese cuisines such as fly fish, egg pudding, and other Japanese exquisites with SUSHI & SASHIMI (law fish without rice) Their price is high so expect to spend about 10,000-15000yen a person. Reservation is must but you can either try 6pm, 8pm or 10pm. The last order is 11:30pm Close at 12am mid night. Holiday on Monday

Great relaxed omakase experience. Very interesting tamagoyaki, where they separate the yolk from the egg white and roll the two together. Not stuffy!

The price range from ¥10000+ per person in the average, fresh seafood good Japanese sake. Good for important business talk, or for some kind of special occasion. Restaurant fits about 20+ total.

Apparantly this is a very upscale place, we were lucky to stumble upon them shortly before closing. My wife, the sushi aficionado, was singing their praises. Some nice clean flavors, great ratio of meat to rice but a pleb like me missed the rice padding. Very expensive options and simple options also. Loved the energy of the junior chef

We spent 13100yen for food. But total amount comes 17000 . I think table charge is too expensive.

やっぱり僕の中では、かわじが沖縄一だなぁ。もう20年も通い続けてる沖縄の寿司店。 いまや沖縄を代表する日本料理店といってもおかしくない。寿司だけではなく、逸品料理の多さに感動です。 いつもありがとうございます。 美味しゅうございました^_^
