🍽️ Shirasa Shokudō – Local Delights with a View

My visit to Shirasa Shokudō was a highlight of the day. Perched with an expansive ocean view, the restaurant felt like a peaceful retreat as I enjoyed some of the freshest Okinawan fare I’ve had. The sea grapes (“umi budo”) were a refreshing starter—they popped with a slightly salty, briny burst that paired perfectly with the breeze off the water.

I opted for several local dishes: tender fried fish, comforting bowl of Rafute (Okinawan braised pork belly), and some crisp vegetable sides. The flavors were authentic and unpretentious—exactly the kind of food that tells the story of the island’s culinary heritage.

Sitting by the window, everything from the view to the gentle hum of conversation made the experience feel extra special. The staff were warm, and though the menu was all in Japanese, they guided me through each dish with enthusiasm and simple English.

Whether you’re craving genuine-rustic Okinawan flavors or just want to eat with a stunning seascape backdrop, Shirasa Shokudō delivers a satisfying, soulful meal.
