🧂 Mild Yet Flavorful – Comfort Food at Its Best
Unlike many Okinawan dishes that are bold and salty, Kakinohana Shokudo offers a lighter and more familiar flavor that many visitors from mainland Japan (and abroad!) find comforting.
沖縄の名物料理、ゴーヤーチャンプルー（ゴーヤと豆腐、豚肉の炒め物）をいただきました。味付けのバランスが絶妙で、味噌汁にも出汁の旨味がしっかり感じられました。ご飯は少し硬めで、まさに私たちの好みでした。
