Ichigin — Restaurant in Naha

This place was just spectacular, I left with a warm heart and full stomach! I stumbled past the restaurant on a walk and had to go in and try it for dinner. The chefs are so welcoming to foreigners and they used Google translate to constantly tell me what each dish was and also to chat about my travels and get to know me.

The food was absolutely mouth watering and it was a pleasure to watch the two chefs in their craft. I enjoyed beer and was gifted a glass of awamori, which was so smooth!

I highly recommend anyone and everyone to try this - don’t fear that the menu is all in Japanese, everything was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is spectacular!

Needless to say all were fresh and umami to my satisfaction. Ichigen is slightly off the tourist strip but I highly recommend for a quiet warm sitting with local chefs drinking...

This is a decent little shop that serves delicate Japanese food with passion! We loved the vibe and had a great night, Ms Hitomi and the chefs are all very professional, they are very willing to communicate with us using google translate to ensure we had enjoyed the omakase. Fresh local seafood served in sashimi and sushi, and the soba at last is very tasty when you eat with the red mountain wasabi.

They also have a list of awamori you can order! Try the local one “Awanami Awamori” if you like a clean and smooth taste.

I will definitely come back to Okinawa for this shop☺️ thank you for the...
