Italian at Urasoze La Vita

Long time I didn't update.

Here is one good italian at Urazoe, Named 'La Vita'.
Pretty crowded during lunch time. I recommend to reserve for lunch. They accept lunch reservation.





I ordered fish main lunch and my wife order pasta lunch, oil base. (We can select tomato, oil base from pasta lunch)
We felt very nice vegetable taste in appetizer and sidedish from main dish. We loved this place.

Here are photos.

 and
We added one sweets after meal, I think additional 350 Yen. Gato chocola wasn't that sweet. So we can enjoy all.
Little bit far from our home, but we definitely repeat this restaurant.

Tomato Noodle at Chatan

Long time I thought this is Hair Salon shop.  but I checked detail during driving. This is noodle shop. and I 've heard pretty tasty Ramen noodle. why not check it out.

When I enter the restaurant, I was very surprised. Quite popular of foreigner (I mean US military family). Except my family, all customers (4 familys) are non-Japanese. This means good English menu and good English waiter in the shop.

Two target noodle. One is Steak noodle, and the other is Vegi Tomato Noodle (Yes for Vegitarian)
This time I ordered Tomato noodle. I like the deep soup taste and noodle itself.
After I ate noodle part, I remained the tomato soup.  Then I order risotto rice and cheese, and mixed with this tomato soup. This risotto also I like.


My wife and kid order the normal Ramen Shoyu Noodel. This is also very smooth and perfect for kids or female.

Outside Kanba is this. Looks Japanese Hair salon !!
and driving way to park this shop is trick because new small road along 58 is now finished. You should drive into the small side road for Yoshino-Ya, then pass the Yoshino-Ya and park into this noodle shop parking place.
Enjoy the new type Ramen!

Donq and Calbee plus Near the Kokusahi Do-ri

When you visit the Kokusai-dori (street) or take friends to the Kokusai-Dori, where go you go or take friends?
Of course, Kosetsu Ichiba (the meat- fish market) is the famous spot. Probably you want to look for light snack to walk around there.

Usually I stop by the following shop.

One is bakery called, 'DONQ'. This is the famous chain bakery around Kobe. but only one shop in Okinawa. You should ckeck it out. The shop is the basement of Mitsukoshi Department. I normally buy the mini croissants. small and bit sweet taste so you can eat 3-4 easily. 


Next stop by Calbee plus shop.
Calbee is the famous Japanese potatochips company for kids snack. They can fly in front of us. so we can enjoy 'now hot' potato chips.

Finally Good Thai restaurant at Yomitan

Well,
It is not easy to find good asian restaurant in Okinawa as I'm always saying (Okinawa is the center of Southeast Asia though).

Here is one choice for asian food lover.. It opened last winter and I went pretty soon after it opened. but I didn't post these photos.
Name is Shiro kuma (white bear ).
We went lunch time and price is around 800 JPN Yen. Volume is bit small. First time we order two meals for two and one kid, but not enough. We ordered one additional.
Second time we ordered two meals with large rice (Oo mori). And this satisfied our appetite. I recommend you should order big portion for lunch time. ("Oo Mori Onegai shimasu"). I think additional 100 Yen.

Quality of food is good enough for us. Good spiciness and flavor. you can find four additional side spices at table (fish soy source, sugar, vinegar spice and hot pepper maybe). If you love real Thai spice, probably not hot enough. But not very sugary like American typical Thai.

Gyros at Sunabe

If you miss Gyros or falafel, one shop is located at Sunabe. Second floor at the building next to Hamaya Soba.

Eating place is bit small but the roof top is also available. You can eat with nice sunabe wind and good sunlight. Too hot for summer though.
For me, easy to stop by when I was alone for lunch.


I ordered the Gyros combo  (Gyros, french fries and drink). Price is around 700-800 JPN Yen. Cheaper than the other Turkish fancy restaurant nearby.


You should park at Seawall, not the street in front of this restaurant (No parking along this street. Police is coming sometimes).
