Okinawa Shokudo Jiman-ya: A popular restaurant where an Awamori master will help you choose from 200 varieties

If you come to Okinawa, you can't miss Awamori.

Okinawa Shokudo Jiman-ya is located one block away from the bustling Kokusai-dori street. You can enjoy Okinawa's local cuisine and awamori in this charming restaurant that was renovated from a 60-year-old traditional Japanese house.

Once you pass through the noren curtain and enter the restaurant, you will be greeted by a cheerful staff member. There are counter seats and table seats with a homey atmosphere, as well as a large tatami room on the second floor, so it is also recommended for having fun with friends.

This shop has over 200 kinds of awamori! The manager, who is a certified awamori master, will help you choose the awamori that best suits your tastes and the food you are eating.

The daily specials include traditional Okinawan dishes such as "Nakamajiru", a clear soup made with pork intestines and stomachs, and fluffy "Yushi tofu". The mild flavors will warm your stomach.

When it comes to mozuku, it is typically eaten with vinegar or in tempura, but here we propose a new way to eat mozuku called "tsukemozuku (440 yen for 100g)."

It is served dipped in "Yanbaru Chicken Nanban Sauce (150 yen)" and served tsukemen style. The chewy mozuku seaweed is coated with the rich sauce, creating a new sensation. It is smooth and easy to swallow, and you can enjoy a spicy change of flavor by adding the original spices.

"Shima Tofu Cold Tofu (460 yen)" uses Okinawa's island tofu, which is firm and has a strong flavor. The tofu itself has a rich flavor, but the garlicky sauce, kimchi, and bonito flakes make it an excellent snack to go with alcohol.

The "Strongest Pork Steak in History (1,980 yen)" is slow-cooked for 30 minutes, and the meat juices are tightly sealed in, making it surprisingly juicy and tender despite its thickness. You can directly experience the umami of the pork with your choice of three types of salt, and the awamori will wash away the fat.

A bar where you can rediscover the deliciousness of mozuku seaweed and awamori in a charming old-fashioned house. Enjoy an Okinawan night with friends.
