Okinawan food

Last night we wandered by the little town next to Moon Beach, trying to decide what to eat. We decided on a place that featured “famous” Aguu pork (I say this in quotes as I have no idea how famous it is). We settled on steamed pork, wagyu beef, and charcoal-grilled vegetables. The pork was layered with bean sprouts and cabbage, and brought out in a steamer basket over a very hot iron skillet. I poured spirits through the pork, and as it dripped through the steamer basket, it created the steam for our dish. Very novel, very tender, and very tasty. The wagyu beef was brought to the table prepared, but it was no less amazing. Also very tender, and the flavor was out of this world! I’m tempted to go back tonight for another plate.

On the hunt for noodles, we stumbled upon the Yak Yeti and decided to have curry, tandoori chicken, and Nepali noodles instead.

Just a little something sweet

Last night, we went in search of something sweet, and on the 5th floor of the shopping center next door, sweetness was delivered. Two lines of pies to choose from. Cafe au lait. Cheery Christmas music. I couldn’t resist the super light and fluffy lemon tart. My husband finally settled on the chocolate banana, which tasted just like a banana pudding.

Fugu sushi and fugu nabe, and we lived to tell the tale. Tasty, for sure, but maybe a little over-hyped.
