A bit luxury supermarket 'My kitchen'

If you get bored to go to the typical supermarket, like 3A or Max Value, in Okinawa, You should try 'My kithcen' near Outlet mall in Naha. 'My kitchen' seems to be organized by the department store, Okinawa Mitsukoshi. You can find a bit different and luxury food grocery there. We stop by this supermarket after shopping the outlet mall. We are always exited and enjoy there.
PS. The Ashibina outlet mall seems to be renovated and more stores are coming on Dec.

Smoothies and Scone at Nishihara

One weekend we enjoyed driving near Ryukyu University at Nishihara. We tried to find nice cafe for lunch without any information. Finally, we found the sign of 'Cafe' and decided to stop by.



After we entered this cafe, we realized this cafe is scone shop, not for lunch. Well, we ate sweets and smoothies before lunch. Sometimes opposite order might be fine. Customers continuously come in the shop and ordered scones. Very famous scone shop in Nishihara local. And I totally understood cheap and tasty scones in this shop. and we loved smoothies as well.

After this sweets, we went to Italian restaurant sola, pretty closed from this cafe.

Orion Beer festa

This is nice summer event in Okinawa. Local music for free and cheap draft beer (300 JPN Yen) and junk food. We made a line to get good tables from 3pm and Festa starts from 4pm. We enjoyed until 9pm with beer and music.

Beer in Okinawa

Beer in Okinawa is dominated by Orion beer, typical Japanese lager beer. Light, smooth and not strong hop taste. Good summer beer and good combination with Japanese fishy meal. Price is around 200 JPN Yen, same as the other major Japanese beer companies, Kirin and Asahi.

If you want to get cheap beer, you can get different tax category beer, called Happoshu.

Bit expensive and popular beer is Yebisu beer. When you are international flight to Japan, probably you can see most Japanese business men order Yebisu beer instead of Kirin and Asahi.

There are few local small brewery in Okinawa. Probably most famous one is 石垣島ビール Ishigaki island Beer.



If you miss Pale Ale beer in Japan, Yona Yona Ale might be famous. You can order it from amazon or the other online.

Charcoal Grill Matsui

New restaurant opened at Yomitan, next to my favorite bakery, Otonari-ya.

Restaurant name is Matsui Ryoriten. Main menu is charcoal grilled steak and hamburg steak. We went there during lunch time. Price is around 800 JPN Yen to 1000 JPN Yen, including ice cream and coffee as dessert. Cheap and food quality is good. They have pasta and doria/gratin 500 JPN Yen, like typical Japanese 洋食屋(youshoku ya), old style of western food.

150 gram steak set, 1200 JPN Yen. If you are big eater, probably not enough. For me enough.


Hamburg steak 200g, 850 JPN Yen


Here is lunch menu




We'll definitely repeat Matsui R. again to taste the other menu.
