CONTRIBUTED BY MONETTE EAMES Kubama Front There’s just something about hearing the Titanic Theme Song, My Heart will Go On. Somehow, you become entranced and if you’re like most people, you’ll think of that love affair between Jack and Rose and you’re somehow in another world if only for a few seconds. That’s what happened [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY JENNIFER RODRIGUEZ Agu House Front My husband and I were driving around, looking for somewhere new to eat and came across this place. It’s so good! I really don’t know the name in Japanese, I’m just going with the only English name on the outside door, Agu-House. It’s delicious! The staff is friendly [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY MONETTE EAMES There’s just something about walking into a restaurant where the entrance reminds you of narrow cobblestoned streets you can find in Little Italy’s all over the world—Canada, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and of course, New York. When we walked into Trattoria Ancora here in Okinawa, I immediately thought of our last Little [...]

Four Seasons Lobby CONTRIBUTED BY SARAH FORTE Sarah enjoyed a complimentary meal at the Four Seasons, Renaissance Resort, but the opinions below are totally hers. Take one part Okinawan customer hospitality. Blend Italian flavors. Sprinkle in wine, pasta, and teppanyaki. Add a relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful ocean view.

CONTRIBUTED BY JESSICA RODRIGUEZ Senor Taco Tacos We are all a fan of Tacos on Okinawa! I am not sure what it is about them, but they just don’t compare to the wannabe Mexican food served by Taco Bell. I have been to a couple of different taco places around the island, and none of [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY MONETTE EAMES Garyuya Exterior We came across one of the hippest ‘hole-in-the-wall’ ramen shops in Awase today. As we walked to Garyu-ya, on an extremely cold night (okay 55 degrees in Okinawa IS cold), we could instantly smell the scents of the ramen broth from a block away. From the outside, you see [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY MONETTE EAMES Meri Front On your way to Okuma, you will notice a lone log cabin type of structure on 58. Like us, you have probably passed it, thinking, “We’ll go there next time.” Then you’ll pass it again, but that time, it’s closed. Then you’ll pass by again and realize that you [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY ANGI BRZYCKI Tacos Ya Plate Located just a block away from the Sunabe sea wall is a tiny little taco shop -“a hole in the wall ” called Tacos-YA. The prices are cheap and the menu is simple. There are 4-5 tables, but they also do take-out. I’ve heard that Tacos-Ya is all [...]

CONTRIBUTED BY CALYN PAQUIN Taiwan Ramen Front Oishii! That’s what we would say in Japanese when we are eating delicious food in Japan. Now when you eat at Taiwan Ramen House, you can tell the owners who are also the chef and the hostess of the restaurant, “Ho-Ja” which is “delicious” in the Fujian dialect, [...]
