I'll be staying in Okinawa in May during Golden Week and a little while after.
This is my first trip to Japan.
I'll be in:
📍 Naha
📍 Onna
📍 Nago
📍 Motobu
And I'm looking for the best local spots (not necessarily fancy, small local restaurants are welcome) to try as many Okinawan specialties as possible.
I've already spotted a few specialties I'd like to try during my stay:
Goya champuru
Okinawa soba
Rafute
Taco rice
Umibudo
Sata Andagi
Shikuwasa juice
Spam onigiri
Awamori (local bars/distilleries welcome)
Soki Soba
Sampin-cha
Abura Miso
Shinsuko
Looking for recommendations for:
must-try restaurants
markets
izakayas (Japanese pubs)
places for a quick lunch
local hangouts
Places to visit during the Naha Hari festival
Also, do you have any other recommendations for local specialties to try in Okinawa?
Thank you so much!
