    Enjoy some iced zenzai (red bean sweet) at this Japanese sweets cafe. This popular item is made from specially prepared ice that is nice and fluffy, along with black molasses featuring a light sweetness. It is topped with rich-tasting rice-flour dumplings containing shell ginger and Japanese mugwort, as well as boiled beans. Other popular options include old-fashioned ice cream and imagawayaki (Japanese muffin with bean jam) with rice-flour dumpling.

    暑い夏は冷たいミルクぜんざいに限ります。スナックパインと一緒にいただきました。ぜんざいは量か少なかったですが、ぜんざいもパインも美味しかったです。

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.
