Have you been there yet? Okinawa's local fast food

Okinawa is a fusion of Ryukyu culture and American style. The situation is also appearing in fast food restaurants.

Several of Okinawa's leading fast food restaurants, A&W and Jef, have a drive-in system. This means that you can order from the parking lot and the clerk will deliver the goods. It's very easy to use. First, park your car in a parking lot dedicated to drive-in. There is a menu table and intercom next to the driver's seat, so if you decide on an order, make an order on the spot. Then the clerk will carry the goods to the car. The feature of drive-in is that, unlike drive-through, can be eaten while parked. Why don't you enjoy the taste of Okinawa's local fast food inside the car during sightseeing?

One of Okinawa's leading fast food restaurants is A&W (Aand Dubbru). It is a fast food restaurant loved by local people and is nicknamed "Ender". The feature of such A&W is that both the interior and menu of the shop are American. Inside the store with a retro atmosphere, you can experience the atmosphere as if you had slipped back in time to the United States a year ago.

One of the popular menus of A&W is Mozza Burger!　It is a dish of patty, fresh vegetables such as lettuce and tomatoes, and cheese sandwiched between homemade buns. You should be able to feel the American atmosphere from this voluminous burger.

In addition, A&W has a wide side menu. One of the most popular items is Curry Flying!　The original spices give you a moderate stimulation. Also, please pay attention to the original drink route via. A&W's unique routevia that makes you feel refreshed. In addition, there are orange juice, which is characterized by its rich sweetness.

Multiple A&Ws are equipped with a drive-in. The tropical beach is located about a 10-minute drive from Makiko, one of them, where you can enjoy the taste of A&W while watching the blue sea of Okinawa. You can eat it in a drive-in, or drive to the sea and eat it in a pleasant sea breeze. Please enjoy it in any way you like.

Jef (Jef), which has three shops in Okinawa Prefecture, is Okinawa's leading fast food restaurant, just like A&W. The feature is that it uses local products as the material. We are developing original menus that focus on Okinawan ingredients such as young chickens from the prefecture and vegetables sent directly from the production area.

Such Jef's standard menu is bitter gourd burger, which uses bitter gourd as ingredients!　However, the bitter gourd is not sandwiched between buns as it is the material. It is cut thinly, wrapped in fluffy eggs, and then sandwiched in buns. The unique bitterness doesn't feel so much, so even small children should be able to eat it easily!

By the way, the bitter gourd burger doesn't contain patty. For those who say "that's not enough," we recommend a burger. This is a dish with a bitter gourd burger and baked pork luncheon meat. There are many people who are captivated by the taste as if they were eating Goya Champloo.……。 You can enjoy a burger unique to Okinawa.

In addition, Jef has a lot of charm!　The menu using bitter gourd includes gourd rings on the side menu in addition to the gourd burger and the burger. From such a menu, you should be able to feel the uniqueness of Okinawa. There are also stores that have a drive-in in Jef. Please use it as a memory of your trip to Okinawa.

Taco rice, a new standard for Okinawan cuisine. If you want to taste this, you can't remove King Tacos!　This shop, which is called "Kintako" by locals, is a affiliated store of "Parlor Chisato", which originated octopus rice. Therefore, you can enjoy the taste of the originals here. (Paler Chisato closed on June 29, 2015)

Generally speaking, when it comes to octopus rice, I think it's like a food topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese on a ragged meat. However, what you order octopus rice with King Tacos and comes out is an impactful dish with only meat on rice!　In fact, this style is said to be the origin of taco rice. If you want to eat octopus rice with vegetables and cheese, order the “Taco Rice Cheese Vegetables” on the menu.

Also, the original sauce is one of the features. The perfect stimulation is perfect with taco rice!　Please take this product with your preferred amount.

In addition to octopus rice, King Tacos also has side menus such as tacos and tacos sandwiches. You can also take out, but it is recommended that you eat while enjoying the American atmosphere with eat-in.
