A Little “Shaving of Brown Sugar”
Makes All the Difference
A Hidden Gem Café in Nakijin “The Sinmay”
“黒糖を削る”ひと手間が特別な甘さになる。
今帰仁の隠れ家カフェ
『The Sinmay(ザ・シンメイ)』


Nestled in the quiet Nakijin Village in northern Okinawa, “The Sinmay” is a charming café using traditional brown sugar in new, unique ways. It’s famous for grating blocks of brown sugar and sprinkling the shavings on their sweet desserts and drinks, adding a soft, cloud-like sweetness that has everyone talking.
沖縄本島北部・今帰仁村にひっそりと佇む「The Sinmay(ザ・シンメイ)」は、黒糖に新しい命を吹き込む注目のカフェ。スイーツやドリンクの仕上げに、黒糖の塊をその場で削って“ふわり”とかけるユニークなスタイルが話題を呼んでいます。

The café uses richly flavored Okinawan brown sugar, made simply by boiling down pure sugarcane juice and hardening it into solid blocks. Watching each order topped with freshly shaved sugar is like witnessing a little performance. Popular items include the “Nama Kokutō Latte” and “Vanilla Latte Nama Kokutō,” crowned with fluffy brown sugar powder, as well as the “Crofle Ice,” made from buttery croissant-dough waffles. Once your order is complete, take a moment to admire it, then savor it as the brown sugar gently melts on your tongue.
使用するのは、さとうきびそのままを煮詰めて固めた風味豊かな沖縄産の黒糖。注文ごとに黒糖の塊から丁寧に削り出す様子は、まるでパフォーマンスのよう。ふわりと舞う黒糖の粉がふりかかる「生黒糖ラテ」や「バニラテ生黒糖」のほか、バターたっぷりのクロワッサン生地から仕上げたワッフルを使ったの「クロフルアイス」もおススメ。目でも楽しめる一杯が完成したら、舌どけする黒糖と一緒に召し上がれ。

Enjoy a moment that delights all five senses in this cozy, wood-accented space, surrounded by Nakijin’s soothing nature. Take in the gentle atmosphere and experience the comforting warmth that only freshly shaved brown sugar can bring.
木のぬくもりを感じる空間で五感で楽しむ甘味時間。今帰仁村の自然と共鳴するようなやさしい空気のなかで、削りたての黒糖が届けてくれる“ほっとする瞬間”を、ぜひ体験してみてください。
