Edomae Sushi Matsunoya — Restaurant in Naha

This is the cutest sushi shop. Maybe 3 tables in traditional Japanese seating area and 8-10 seats along the bar.

It's definitely worth your time to come have sushi here if...

The sushi was very decent.: I chose the extra special set (the best) and even then it only costs 1900 yen for all you see in the picture (and more that I didn’t manage to take). Ordered a 300ml sake that was yummy as well and that was 1300 yen. For the quality and the excellent traditional ambience, it’s well worth visiting. They also have some tatami seatings for...
