RIHGA Royal Resort Okinawa Chatan (リーガロイヤルリゾート沖縄 北谷), a hotel in Chatan Town, Nakagami District, Okinawa Prefecture that opened in April 2026, will serve the "Sunset Signature Course" (サンセットシグネチャーコース) at its in-house restaurant GRILL & DINING AURDIA (オルディア). The signature menu expresses the passing of time during Chatan's sunsets, and it will be available from Sunday, November 1, 2026 to Wednesday, March 31, 2027. Some dates are excluded, and the period may be extended.
Bringing the Appeal of Chatan Into One Course
The hotel wants guests to experience the appeal of the area through food as well. Chatan is a district where a townscape with an exotic atmosphere shaped by American culture sits alongside Okinawan nature, including the beautiful sunsets over the East China Sea. The course was created out of a wish to let guests taste that scenery and atmosphere in the dishes too. It is meant to offer visitors, as well as local residents, a special time away from everyday life with someone important to them.
A Course Designed Along the Timeline of a Sunset
The "Sunset Signature Course" expresses Chatan's sunsets in a single course. Four dishes use color to depict the changing sky and sea, from the glittering blue ocean to the sunset glow and the setting sun on the horizon. Each dish shows a different look, creating an immersive dining experience that follows Chatan's dusk.
Colors That Change at the Table
The highlight of the course is the finishing touches made in front of guests. For the second dish, "Chatan Sunset Glow" (北谷の夕焼け), shikuwasa (シークヮーサー) dressing is poured over a butterfly pea sauce, so the vivid blue mixes with yellow and changes into a dreamy purple.
For the fourth dish, a dessert, a cassis sauce depicts the night sea, and a coconut foam resembling white waves is added as the finishing touch.
The course offers a colorful story that combines Okinawan ingredients with dishes completed before guests' eyes, to be enjoyed with all five senses.
Menu Details: Four Dishes Depicting the Chatan Sunset
01 Twilight: "Chatan Sea" (北谷の海) Red Shrimp and Okinawa-Produced Seiika (セーイカ) Squid Tartare
This amuse opens the twilight hour. Red shrimp and Okinawa-produced seiika are made into a lemon-scented tartare and wrapped in a butterfly pea jelly meant to evoke the sea.
02 Sunset: "Chatan Sunset Glow" (北谷の夕焼け) Tuna and Fruit Tomato Salad With a Shikuwasa Accent
A salad of colorful vegetables such as tuna, tomato, and eggplant is served with a tomato jelly to express the colors of the sky and sea turning orange. Shikuwasa dressing is poured over the dish as a finishing touch in front of guests, giving a dreamy shift in color reminiscent of a Chatan sunset.
03 Magic Hour: "ISLAND SUNSET" Domestic Beef Roast Beef With Passion Fruit Béarnaise Sauce
Rosé-colored roast beef is served with a béarnaise sauce meant to evoke the setting sun. The beautiful gradation of purple sweet potato (beni-imo), mango, and bell pepper expresses the magic hour in a single plate.
04 Starlight: "SUNSET HORIZON" Blood Orange and Chocolate Mousse With Coconut Foam Resembling White Waves
This dessert uses a blood orange and chocolate mousse to express the sun sinking into the horizon. A cassis sauce depicts the night sea, and coconut foam resembling white waves is added in front of guests to finish the dish.
Cocktails to Go With the Course
Cocktails inspired by sunsets are available to enjoy with the course, along with cocktails made with Okinawan ingredients such as shikuwasa and goya (bitter melon). Guests can sip them alongside the meal to immerse themselves in the world of a Chatan dusk.
