When I went to Karamay, I found the popular Okinawa seafood specialty shop "Meri Ki no Ginji Shinto Shinto Shinto Shoten". I saw the modern architecture outside the restaurant, and then inside, holding plump oysters in one hand, the ocean flavor was instantly bursting. The whole atmosphere has a kind of Japanese refreshing blend with local style, and it's perfect for chilling with friends and enjoying seafood on a sunny day. 目利きの金次新都心本店 Address: In the heart of Karamay New Town (it is recommended to use map navigation to find the shop directly, you will not get lost) Signature dishes: 🦪 Okinawa oysters Fresh and plump, smooth in the mouth, immediately feel the freshness of the ocean, each large, great for photography! 🐟Sashimi Platter The ingredients are fresh, the sashimi is cut thickly, and every bite is very satisfying. 🦑 Charcoal grilled squid The outer layer is slightly charred, the inside is bouncy and refreshing, and it's great with special soy sauce! environment: The restaurant is mainly decorated with wood, warm lighting, plus large glass windows looking out is a modern urban view, feels clean and comfortable, suitable for small gatherings or two-person world. Opening hours: Daily 11:00am – 10:00pm Price: About ¥150-¥250 per person, depending on what you order seafood, oysters and sashimi are quite popular. Real impressions: The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is very polite, we recommend everyone to sit by the window for the best photos. The seafood is all delivered fresh daily, especially the oysters, which are ready to eat after opening the shell. Tips: If you want to eat oysters, it is recommended to make a reservation a day or two in advance, because the daily quantity is limited, sold out! In the peak season, there are a lot of people during the peak evening market, it is best to avoid 7-8pm, so you don't have to wait for a seat ~ #Kramai Food #Okinawa Seafood #Oyster Control #Travel Food Diary #Restaurant Photography #Just Take Beautiful
