琉球ドリンクラボ — Restaurant in Naha

WOW. This place is such a hidden gem. I cannot say enough great things about the whole experience provided here.

First, the setting and atmosphere is wonderful. Only 5 seats indoors and a small table seating outside so it's very intimate and you really get to see the process up close. It's really neat seeing all the different vessels collected and displayed openly.

Second, the drinks themselves are all delicious and memorable. The place specializes in coffee and awamori, but has other options as well. I love that they have been very intentional in choosing to use Okinawan ingredients to showcase the amazing variety of goods this island has to offer. Many drinks have their own unique story to go with the specific drinkware and ingredients chosen. The unique flavors were all so refreshing.

Lastly, the service and care received from Tomoaki Nakamura was stellar. By watching him alone you can tell he's masterful at his craft, but I really appreciated him taking the time to explain each of the drinks to me and the stories behind them. So much so he used Google translate to communicate some of the more difficult descriptions clearly.
