A treasure trove of Okinawa B-class gourmet! Approaching the charm of roadside rest area Kyoda, a rest spot on the northern Okinawa drive

roadside rest area Kyoda opened in 1994. It is the oldest roadside rest area in Okinawa, and there are thousands of souvenirs. Even the roadside rest area staff could not know the exact number. Here are some of the most popular souvenirs among roadside rest area Kyoda.

First of all, go to the agricultural products department. Here you can find seasonal vegetables and fruits sent directly from local farmers. One of the most popular tourist destinations is tropical fruit. Fruits such as snack pine and passion fruit in spring and mango and peach pine in summer, can be purchased at a reasonable price.

There are also plenty of processed products. The assortment of souvenirs in northern Okinawa is a masterpiece, and there is a large special corner where you can find specialties from 12 municipalities in the northern part. There are many limited products that can only be purchased at roadside rest area Kyoda, and "Choco Mochi" and "Brown Sugar Oji Series" are especially popular.

"It's hard to take it home even if you buy a lot of souvenirs.…You don't have to worry about it! Regardless of the amount sent, it can be shipped at 1000 yen nationwide shipping fee (box fee and cool flights are separately charged). If you buy all souvenirs at roadside rest area Kyoda and mail it to your home, you can travel lightly after that!
After choosing a souvenir, move to the takeout gourmet corner to fill your stomach!

Sataanta Guy is very popular for Okinawa sweets. At "Mitsuya" in roadside rest area Kyoda, freshly fried satanta Guy can be eaten, and customers always visit immediately after the opening at 9 o'clock.

The satanta Guy here has a Cali outside and a fluffy texture inside. And over time, you can enjoy a taste similar to freshly fried chicken. The price is reasonable at 90 yen per piece. There are flavors unique to Okinawa, such as rice potatoes, red potatoes, tankan, and brown sugar.

Okinawan people have been accustomed to as snacks since childhood. Unlike tempura on the mainland, it is characterized by its fluffy and thick clothing. Since the taste is firmly attached to the clothes, it can be eaten deliciously even when cooled down.
Tempura is 60 yen per piece. Because of its cheapness and variety, it is very popular with locals. In Okinawa where there are many relatives gathering, there are many people who buy dozens of them together.

Mozuku tempura from Ieshima and prefecture fish tempura are popular, but we recommend pork tempura. In Okinawa, it is the ultimate junk gourmet with slices of popular processed meat "pork (spam)" in Okinawa. Combined with the saltiness of pork and the aroma of the clothes, you can eat as many as you like a snack. Be careful not to eat too much!

At Bread Studio La Girl, bread is handmade and baked in the store, so you can buy high-quality bread in spite of roadside rest area.

We are particular about using ingredients from Okinawa Prefecture, and even popular breads have been elaborated. For example, salt bread uses salt from Yaga Jinoshima, and grape bread contains raisins pickled in rum from the prefecture's sake brewer "Helios Sake Brewery".

The most popular product is pine and walnut bread. The balance between the acidity and sweetness of the prefecture-grown dry pine and the aroma of walnuts are well balanced, so it can be eaten not only as a snack but also as a meal bread. In addition, rich custard cream puffs made from Nakijin Village's milk "Oppa Milk" and melon bread from Ieshima are also popular. Driving with unique bread that can only be made here is also a way to enjoy a trip to Okinawa.

The gelato specialty store directly managed by the dairy manufacturer "Oppa Dairy", located in Nakijin Village in northern Okinawa Prefecture, is a great success not only in summer but also in winter. Although it is a gelato store, what you want to eat is soft serve ice cream that can only be bought at the store. Oppa milk raw milk produced in the nature of Yanbaru has a strong taste and attractive taste. The soft ice cream made from that milk can't be delicious!

Let's try gelato! Unusual flavors such as Shisa, Sampen milk tea, and awamori raisins are arranged.

In addition to the shops introduced this time, roadside rest area Kyoda also has plenty of places to worry about, such as the Okinawa kamaboko restaurant and teppanyaki steak restaurant.
It is often crowded from afternoon to evening, so if you shop slowly, you aim for the morning. Not only as a resting place on the way to drive, but also this is a place where you can enjoy it as a sightseeing spot, so be sure to visit it in the morning.
