Takuyoshi — Restaurant in Naha

Konnichiwa, fellow food explorers in Okinawa. If you're on a culinary quest and your taste buds are craving something extraordinary, you've got to make a beeline for Takuyoshi. It's not just a restaurant; it's a food odyssey that'll have you saying "arigatou" to your stomach.

First, let's decode the Japanese hieroglyphics – あぐー豚と島野菜しゃぶしゃぶ. It's like a love letter to foodies: "Agu Pork and Island Vegetables Shabu-Shabu." Now, for those not fluent in Japanese culinary lingo, this means you're in for a treat. Shabu-shabu is a delightful hot pot dish where you cook your own ingredients in a bubbling broth. But here's the kicker - it's all-you-can-eat vegetables. Yes, you read that right. A vegetable buffet that's like the Garden of Eden.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room – the price. It's not what you'd call "bargain bin" dining. But think of it this way: you're not just eating, you're embarking on an epic culinary journey. It's a splurge worth every yen.

Ah, the awamori. If you don't know what this is, it's like the Okinawan version of sake, but with a twist. And Takuyoshi has a treasure trove of choices. It's like they're daring you to explore the depths of Okinawan spirits.

But what really sets this place apart is the store manager. Kindness oozes out of this individual like a waterfall of good vibes. Not only did they serve up some epic shabu-shabu, but they also doubled as a tour guide, offering other store recommendations. You might just leave with a full belly and an itinerary for the rest of your trip!

In conclusion, Takuyoshi is where food dreams come true. It's a culinary adventure in the heart of Okinawa that'll leave you craving for more. The shabu-shabu, the vegetable buffet, the awamori – it's a recipe for a fantastic dining experience. And don't forget the store manager who's like your food-loving...

This is one of the best hotpot restaurants I’ve ever been to. Food 5/5 : we came here in a family of 5. The portion was very well thought out. The pork was wonderful. Definitely the best on the island. Did I mention the freshly prepared produce that you can eat as much as you want(responsibly). All in all, the 5 of us was very satisfied!

Services: the owner / chef and his wife( I believe) were super friendly. They don’t speak a whole lot of English, but we communicate just fine with our broken Japanese and his broken English. It was a good experience. They pay attention to what you need, and tried to explain as much as they could. Again, an experience that would...

Für die Leute, die Shabu-Shabu nicht kennen: Es ist eine Art Hotpot, indem man unter anderem Fleisch und Salat drin kochen lässt und diese dann isst. Am Ende vom Gericht, kommt in die übrige Suppe eine Portion Udon-Nudeln, die man dann isst.

Ich war neu in der Gegend und kannte Shabu-Shabu nicht. Netterweise ließ man mich aber das Gericht versuchen. Bestellt wurde hierbei eine scharfe Suppe und dazu ein Bier. Die Köche aus dem Restaurant waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend mir gegenüber, so das man alles daran setzte mir dieses Gericht zu erklären und nahe zu bringen. Hierbei wurde mir mit dem Translater von Google alles erklärt.

Das Restaurant selber befindet sich neben einem Hotel und ist sehr geräumig. Man kann alleine hinkommen oder aber mit Freunden / Familien. Der Preis ist angemessen und das Essen ist sehr lecker.

Sollte man also Shabu-Shabu probieren wollen, oder kennt es nicht wird dringend empfohlen dort eine Rast einzulegen und dem ganzen einen Versuch zu geben.

Vielen Dank für all die Mühe und das...
