The Story of Oleum Kitchen
Welcome to Oleum Vegan Kitchen, where culinary excellence meets a passion for plant-based cuisine. Our journey began as a small operation in a home kitchen, driven by the desire to provide Okinawa with more accessible and delightful plant-based options. We are beyond excited to bring what we cultivated in Japan to the US in 2024.
​
At the heart of our restaurant is Chef Adibe, who has meticulously crafted our culinary philosophy. We believe in designing a menu that showcases the finest local ingredients available in each season. By embracing the abundance of nature, we create dishes that not only satisfy your taste buds but also nourish your body. We strive to create a memorable meal that will linger in your thoughts long after you've taken the last bite.
​
Whether you're a devoted vegan or simply looking to explore the world of plant-based cuisine, our restaurant offers a diverse range of globally inspired options that will surprise and delight your senses.
