Okinawa, the Beautiful Island - Enjoy Authentic Okinawa Gourmet in a Sophisticated Garden @ Ahibuna

The entrance  of Ahibuna looks like an ordinary house which quietly sitting on a road. It took us several minutes to recognize it's the restaurant we were looking for.















It's so relaxing to appreciate the greenery Japanese-style garden while having a meal. 

Okinawa soba is a signature dish of Okinawa. Unlike the soba in the rest of Japan, the texture of Okinawa soba is relatively chewy, tastes like ramen more. The standard toppings as shown in the picture including stewed pork belly is influenced by China , kamaboko (fish cake) and sliced scallion. The rice at the bottom right corner mixed with various sliced veggies which is more attractive than the Okinawa soba to me.

Simmered pork leg is another local dish I highly recommend. After long hour of stewing, all the skin, meat and fat are so soft to melt in your mouth.  The sauce tastes bit sweet which is good to add into rice. Yummy yummy!
