Okinawa has cultivated its own food culture since ancient times and is full of restaurants, izakayas, and sweets shops where you can enjoy foods from the tropical sea and fertile land. If you fancy trying Okinawan cuisine with Awamori and Kusu (aged Awamori), head to the Urizun izakaya. The day after, perhaps you'll be in the mood to try a reinvigorating shimadofu (island tofu) dish at Shima-chan Shokudo. For a standard lunch of Okinawan soba, the traditional recipes at Kishimoto Shokudo are well worth a look.
