    Okinawa Pref. Nanjoushi Tamagusuku Ou 9
    A tempura restaurant located across the bridge leading to Ojima Island in Nanjo City, Okinawa Prefecture. The restaurant's fluffy tempura is rich in flavor and has been made according to the same recipe since the establishment first opened its doors. The tempura is made with seasonally changing fish and ever so slightly sweet squid. Here you can enjoy piping hot sweet potato tempura, purple yams, slightly salty sea lettuce, and sata andagi buns limited to just a few customers a day. The restaurant also sells salt pickled mozuku seaweed.

    Okinawa Pref. Nahashi Matsuo 2-9-9
    This confectionery has been around for over 60 years. Round rice cakes, butter cakes, and other traditional Okinawan sweets are on display outside the shop. The sata andagi (Okinawan sweet deep-fried bun) come in a variety of flavors, such as pineapple, caramel, purple yam, pumpkin, and banana, making them popular among both locals and foreigners. Their “brown sugar candy” is soft and preserves the original taste of the ingredients, which has made it a popular item for years and led to it constantly being sold out.

    市場本通り沿いにある製菓店。サーターアンダギーを販売しているので、テイクアウトで購入してみました。1個80円。プレーンは、標準的な味わい。ゴワゴワしているので、牛乳と合わせると美味しいだろうなと思いました。

    "This kamaboko (fish cake) shop has been in business on Ishigaki Island for three generations. The shop has a motto of ""what we make today we sell today."" Their preservative-free products are still made and taste the way they did decades ago. Their specialty is their jushi kamaboko, which features a white fish kamaboko stuffed with jushi, an Okinawa-style pilaf. It makes a tasty snack to enjoy when you're feeling a little hungry. We also recommend their black jushi, which features a squid ink infused kamaboko stuffed with a dry curry-style jushi flavored with turmeric."

    一寸したお土産にと「じゅーしーかまぼこ」を購入しました。 じゅーしーが入った、まん丸かまぼこでしたが、意外とボリューム感がありました。 但し、日持ちしないのが難点で、自宅用になりました。

    "This shop specializes in sata andagi and is located in the ""Makishi Public Market"" in Matsuo 2-Chome, Naha City. A traditional fried confection of Okinawa, the sata andagi made and sold here is handmade. While being a simple confection made by frying dough made with flour, sugar, milk, and egg yolks, it is rather popular, selling out quickly, such that it is also referred to as ""phantom sata andagi."""

    おやつにサクッと食べれる量だと嬉しい。5個入りからしか見当たらなかった。500円だったかな。お土産だと喜ばれる量なのだろうけど。いや、聞かなかったけど、実はあったのかな。次回リベンジしてみよう。

Okinawa Areas

around-area-map

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
