Maruichi Shokuhin Shioya Branch
The spiritual home of Uruma City's most beloved soul food. The legendary duo of 'Okinawa Inari Sushi' and 'Okinawa Fried Chicken' is an indispensable presence for Okinawan memorial ceremonies (Shimii) and events—known to every Okinawan. So delicious that imitation products have appeared. Veteran staff hand-make over 1,000 inari every morning; during Shimii season, they sell out before noon. The Shioya branch is the flagship of two locations. An extraordinary Tabelog 3.43/6,112 reviews—among the highest review counts in Okinawa Prefecture. A March 2025 visit review confirms current operations.
Reviews say 'every Okinawan knows this place,' 'always order for Shimii,' 'this is what it means to be so good that imitations appear,' 'shockingly affordable,' and 'always stop by when visiting Uruma.' Tabelog 3.43/6,112 reviews (overwhelming review count). Featured in numerous media outlets. Proof of being a necessity at local events. No PR traces. March 2025 visit confirmed.
