The first Okinawa restaurant was opened in 1963, before Okinawa was returned to Japan, and today there are more than 20 fast food restaurants in Okinawa Prefecture, all originating from the United States.

The retro storefront reminiscent of an American diner is the charm of A&W, and the same is true here at Naha Kanagusuku Store. The pop-colored counter, window seats and box seats along the curved wall, and other features allow diners to fully immerse themselves in the American atmosphere. The menu is truly American, from hearty hamburgers to sandwiches and sundaes.

A must-try when you come to A&W is root beer, a non-alcoholic drink made from more than 14 kinds of herbs. The more you drink it, the more addicted you become to its unique flavor, and there are many repeat customers. Incidentally, root beer refills are free of charge at all stores every day. Original goods sold in the store, such as caps and T-shirts with the popular "A&W" logo, are recommended as souvenirs.

Highlights

  • It is a popular hamburger chain with only one location in Okinawa, Japan.
  • Free refills of the famous root beer drink are available every day.
  • Original goods are also sold in the store.

    My first A&W experience was in Okinawa! With the American-style interior, a burger, and a classic root beer, the place is filled with a strong retro American vibe〜

    The burger is a moderate size, but I really liked how well balanced everything was. The bun, fillings, and sauce worked perfectly together, and the seasoning wasn't too heavy. It was a comfortable, just-right meal for one person.

    A&W is the iconic American fast-food chain you absolutely can't miss in Okinawa! The location inside iias Okinawa Toyosaki has a strong retro American vibe and also sells merchandise and T-shirts featuring the super-cute Rooty Bear mascot.

    The food speaks for itself: the signature burger with onion rings and fries that are crispy outside and soft inside, plus a classic root beer served in a frosted glass mug, is incredibly refreshing and satisfying! It's the perfect place to recharge after shopping and experience the unique blend of American and Ryukyuan culture. Highly recommended!

    A must-try American burger in Okinawa—this is it!

    A&W came from the United States and opened its first location in Okinawa in 1963, before Okinawa was returned to Japan. Today, it has more than 20 locations across Okinawa and is the only place in Japan where you can still eat at A&W.

    I originally came just to check it out, but one bite made me a fan!

    The burger was really good. The bun was soft, the patty was juicy, and the overall flavor was exactly to my taste. It's just the kind of American burger I like.

    If you don't know what to eat in Okinawa, consider having a meal at A&W. Besides the burgers, you can also soak up the full retro American atmosphere. No wonder it has become part of the memories of Okinawa locals and a fast-food restaurant that many travelers make a point of visiting.

    It had been a while since I last came to Okinawa, so my first meal was A&W. It’s an Okinawa-only fast food chain, and their root beer is a must-order! It tastes completely different from Taiwan’s sarsaparilla, and if you dine in, you can get free refills. It’s almost magical—I kept drinking cup after cup. This is the taste of Okinawa I’ve been missing.
