Needless to say, Kokusai-dori, a popular tourist spot that represents Okinawa, is the busiest street in Okinawa and the largest downtown area in Naha. Did you know that there are famous places on such Kokusai Street with the concept of transmitting Okinawa's unique culture and deepening exchanges between local people and tourists?

A very popular stall village on Kokusai Street in Naha City

The Kokusai Street Yatai Village, which opened in June 2015, has 21 restaurants of various genres, including Okinawan cuisine, Japanese and Western cuisine.

It is recommended to ladder several stores according to the mood of the day. One of the attractions is that you can enjoy a different atmosphere for each shop, such as toasting with the next person in the open atmosphere of the outside seats, and talking about the secret spots in Okinawa with the staff at the counter seat.

Stalls are open from 12:00 to 24:00 (depending on the stalls). It is also a nice point that you can use it at any time you like, such as lunch time, when you are hungry, or dinner.

However, there are many people who say, "I'm wondering where to go." Therefore, this time, I would like to introduce four recommended stalls by genre. Please take a look at it.

You can choose from 3 kinds of sauce, original, ponzu, and cheese. In addition, smoked dishes are not allowed. Kunchama (pork's neck) bacon is smoked to remove excess fat and only umami. Beer savory and moist taste, beer rinses. We also recommend smoked cheese potato salad mixed with quail eggs and cheese smoked in potato salad and spam.

Captivated pig

Agu Gyoza, which has an order of more than 400 meals a month, is an unusual style that blends several kinds of salts, such as Kumejima salt and Shima Maas. It is said that there are many tourists who come for this dumpling for two consecutive days during their stay in Okinawa. Also, "Okinawa Ketchup Yakisoba" is often ordered with dumplings. Because Okinawa soba noodles are seasoned with ketchup, it is also popular with families with children. Let's have it with the sour with frozen shekwasha instead of ice.

Island sake and appetizers (Shimatote)

"Shima sake and appetizers" has awamori Meister, so they can propose a way to drink that suits this person while listening to their tastes. The appetizers that go well with awamori is "Tsukimozuku" made from Kumejima's thick mozuku.

Sushi catered directly from Hokkaido is popular. by "Chocotto sushi"

The sushi cater sent directly from Hokkaido is fresh. Mainly rare seafood from Hokkaido and Okinawa, we add one hand and two hands with Edo-mae techniques, and hold it while drawing out the goodness of each. There are everything from consistency to assortment, so it's nice to be able to ask casually depending on how you like your stomach. In addition, "Ezokko Rice", which puts how much you can put on a bowl, is sure to make you feel happy as well as shine.
