Utahime used to occupy a basement on Kokusai-dori and closed there on 3 January 2026. Ganeko Yoriko reopened it two months later on a quiet street 237 m from Yui Rail Asahibashi Station, and her notice for the new room promises old-school Okinawan min'yo heard at an easy pace. Requests are welcome, and so are guests who want to get up and sing. The venue says stage times follow the mood of the night and what the room asks for.
A May 2026 Tabelog reviewer heard the singers up close and found only drinks and snacks on offer; guests may bring their own food, the reviewer adds. Drinks ran ¥700–1,000. Eat first at an izakaya in Kumoji, then walk over for the later songs.
What to order
- Awamori or a highball
- A song request for the sanshin players
