"Kokusai-dori is a dessert shop at night. Matcha ice cream is refreshing and suitable for passing by"

There is a very delicious pancake shop, the shop is located in Kokusai-dori, very convenient! The store originally had branches in Osaka, Nara and other Japanese cities, and the Okinawa branch only opened in July last year. The store is decorated in an industrial cement style, which is stylish and simple. One of the things that surprised us was that the store is open from 11am to 3am, which is one of the few stores in Okinawa where you can eat dessert at night! (Sweets shops in Okinawa usually close very early) Satisfy many Hong Kong and Taiwan tourists who like to have desserts after dinner! As for the highlight, some restaurants’ pancakes are very fluffy, and there will be a shaky visual effect when shaking the plate, but you won’t feel full after eating it. The pancakes in this restaurant are not the type that are full of air, but they are not as solid as the European and American style pancakes, and the taste is good. And compared to the pancakes I've eaten before, the pancakes here have a stronger egg flavor. We ordered the signature purple sweet potato and mango flavors. The purple sweet potato pancake has ice cream balls on top, topped with cream and purple sweet potato powder. But it is worth mentioning that the purple sweet potato powder is not a powder without taste. You can still feel the purple sweet potato powder particles in your mouth, and the taste is good. Pancake with ice cream balls is delicious whether you eat it cold or warm! If you have noticed our highly recommended Trip Cafe, their purple sweet potato pancake is definitely comparable! The other mango pancake is also very fragrant, with cream, although the taste is not as good as the purple sweet potato pancake, it is still very good! Another famous product of this restaurant is ice cream. We ordered matcha ice cream, which is not bitter, and is garnished with Japanese meatballs. It is perfect for buying a cup of ice cream when passing by to cool down!

Okinawa, Japan | Kokusai-dori: The Largest Awamori Specialty Shop, the Aroma of the Island's Soul Walking along Kokusai-dori, you'll discover more than just souvenir shops and the charming figures of shisa dogs. There's also a profound atmosphere woven into the fabric—Okinawa's soulful spirit, Awamori. Nestled on the street, boasting what's billed as the largest Awamori specialty shop on Kokusai-dori, it's a treasure trove for travelers appreciating both sake and culture. The dazzling array of bottles lining the shelves is dazzling: from classic clear bottles to aged vintages sealed in ceramic jars, each one tells a different story. Some are limited editions from small local breweries, while others boast centuries-old traditions. The staff will enthusiastically explain the different alcohol strengths, flavor profiles, and how they pair well with Okinawan cuisine. The most captivating section is the "Kusu" section, where bottles of Awamori, quietly aged for years, gleam golden in color, exude a subtle woody aroma and the richness of time. For travelers, buying a bottle to take home is not only a souvenir, but also brings the island atmosphere of Okinawa back into daily life.

Okinawa, Japan | Smiling Shisa dogs: The epitome of the island's soul The soul of Okinawa, which I described last time, is now encountered again on a street corner. It's not found in books or distant legends, but in the faces of these smiling Shisa dogs, right before the eyes of travelers. Some of these Shisa dogs sit on rooftops, grinning broadly in the sea breeze; others stand guard at shop doors, their eyes warm, as if saying "Welcome back" to every passerby. A smile is both a protection and a strength. It reveals that the soul of Okinawa isn't a cold, majestic presence, but an optimism imbued with the sea breeze, an attitude that smiles at hardship and embraces life. As I stood on Kokusai-dori, gazing at the row of colorful Shisa dogs, I knew: This is Okinawa at its truest. The island's soul, like these smiling Shisa dogs, forever displays a smile, protecting us and touching the hearts of every traveler.
