    最初は地味だし味が薄い!と言う感覚から入りましたかまだ、最初の一品もうちに入れた時から、ゆっくりと噛み締めていくと素材の美味しさや、とても手のかかった贅沢なお料理と判ってきます。 最後の一品までその感覚は続きます。 なんとも地味深く素晴らしい料理でした。

    県外にも知れ渡っている沖縄のご当地グルメ。前からずっと気になっていたので、週末の夕方に電話予約して行ってみました。コロナの影響で、テイクアウトのみですが、以前はイートインもやっていたようです。私は、『チキン1羽』をテイクアウト。ニンニクがたっぷり入っていて独特の酸味が効いたチキンは、今まで経験したことが無い味わい。赤ワインにも良く合って一気に食べてしまいました。真空パックバージョンもあるそうです。

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.
