About this spot
Uminchu delivers authentic Okinawan flavors in Kichijoji with standout dishes like the chewy cartilage pork ribs in Stone-Baked Taco Rice and the collagen-rich Champuru Somen.

The menu also features unique items like Sea Grape and Pork Oden simmered with bitterness-free goya.
💡 Tips before you go
