Chokotto Sushi Kokusai-dori Yataimura — Restaurant in Naha

Stumbled on this place while looking around the food village. Very small restaurant with 8 counter seats inside, and one sushi chef. They have a couple tables outside where you can order some cooked foods but sushi is inside only. The quality of the food was incredible, and the chef is a super friendly guy. The menu has Japanese, English, chinese and Korean so no language issues here. I had some of the best nigiri i've had in Japan. Each piece was delicate and flavourful and the rice was perfectly seasoned and slightly warm. The price was also extremely reasonable considering the quality of the sushi, pieces ranged from 100-500 yen depending on the type of sushi. Would definitely...

We wanted to try a sushi place in the Kokusai St village. This place was happening and wanted the experience that came with it. It can get crowded and loud, but we didn't mind that. The service was very good. The 2 stars was for the food and price. For the cost, the sushi was ok. Nothing special. We had better and cheaper in some of the sketchy alleys. I was stuck between 2 or 3 stars, but gave it 2 cause I'll probably never go back here or Kokusai...

I had a great time, but it was challenging to find open seats at the restaurant I wanted to eat at. Be open to the other excellent restaurants within the village. I would suggest trying a restaurant for the small eats until the restaurant you want is available. There are many choices to choose from. Take advantage of them! If you're American and don't speak Japanese, have your translation apps ready and don't be scared to try...
