The Arrival of Okuno Shibuya in Okinawa
The renowned shaved ice shop 'Tea House Okuno Shibuya' from Shibuya is making its debut in Okinawa, marking an exciting new chapter for local dessert lovers. Known for its lengthy lines and exquisite flavors, the establishment is scheduled to open two new branches in Naha and Ishigaki Island simultaneously on April 1, 2026.
Exclusive Shaved Ice Offerings
The new outlets will operate under the names 'oceangood OKUSHIBU' located in the heart of Kumoji, and 'Sea View with OKUNOSHIBUYA' situated on Ishigaki Island. These shops are not merely selling desserts; they aim to create a unique experience that can only be enjoyed in these specific locations, redefining the value of shaved ice.
The Essence of Okuno Shibuya's Shaved Ice
What sets Okuno Shibuya apart is its dedication to preserving the elemental qualities of Japanese flavors.

Each serving is a luxurious blend of exotic flavors that highlights the best of Okinawa's produce, promising a once-in-a-lifetime taste experience enhanced by its stunning surroundings.
Passion for Okinawa
The inspiration to expand to Okinawa stems from a desire to share delightful shaved ice with the people of the island. The hope is that tourists will gain a greater appreciation for Okinawa’s culinary richness, while locals rediscover the island's attractions through the shop's offerings.
