Eat your way around Okinawa! Time-efficiency gourmet food that you can only get here

A new restaurant that challenges the steak culture in a new way: "Hitowan The Steak Bowl Specialty Store"

It is no exaggeration to say that steak is one of Okinawa's representative food cultures. A new restaurant has opened where you can enjoy steak in a new style.

"Hitowan The Steak Bowl Specialty Store" opened on the second floor of Uren Plaza in Naha City on October 17, 2023.
We decided to serve steak in a bowl so that people could enjoy it in a more casual manner, rather than the formal style of using a fork and knife.

After placing your order at the ordering machine at the entrance, you enter the bright, light-filled restaurant. The white-based tables and chairs create a resort atmosphere.

The sizzling sound of grilled steaks and the delicious aroma drift from the kitchen. The steaks are made with the skilled techniques and attention to detail of chefs who have been in the steak business for over 10 years.

If you order a Suteki-don, you can have an Oi-don for an additional 100 yen. This donation is used to support producers through the "Onehundred Project."

The ingredients in the Oi Donburi change daily, but on this day there were three types: sukiyaki-style meat, kimchi, and green vegetables. You can have as many refills as you like, and it's amazing that you can eat it all for just 100 yen.

The most popular dish is the "Red Meat Steak Bowl (1,300 yen)," which is topped with "Black Butter (110 yen)," made with fresh pepper from Cambodia. This luxurious and filling meal includes a daily appetizer, salad, somen noodles, and dessert.

The steak is cooked to perfection, giving it a fragrant exterior and sealing in the delicious flavors of the meat inside, a testament to the chef's skill. The original steak soy sauce made with Rishiri kelp and black butter are mellow and intertwined, and the onion and garlic chips add a nice accent.

The rice, carefully selected to go with the steak, is cooked in kelp water. The finely textured and juicy steak goes perfectly with the rice. It's a very filling meal, but I ate it all in no time.

Takeout of classic Okinawan foods such as steak sandwiches and portama sandwiches are also popular. Why not try a new way to enjoy steak in Okinawa?

The exquisite shabu-shabu made with purebred Agu pork is a must-try at Asahiya

A restaurant where you can experience Okinawa with your whole body, where you can enjoy shabu-shabu made with purebred Agu pork along with regular sanshin live performances.

The Okinawan restaurant "Choyaya" is located a minute's walk from Miebashi Station, on a street lined with restaurants. In addition to Okinawan local cuisine and awamori, you can also enjoy delicious shabu-shabu made with purebred Agu pork.

When you enter the store, you will be greeted by cheerful and energetic staff, so you can feel at ease even if it is your first visit. The sanshin live performances that are held regularly are events that are loved by tourists and local customers alike.

The restaurant has a homey and comfortable atmosphere, and offers a variety of seating options, including table and counter seats as well as sunken kotatsu tables and private rooms, making it suitable for a variety of uses, from individuals to families.

The "Pure Blooded Agu Enjoyment Course (5,000 yen)" is a must-try, where you can enjoy the deliciousness of pure blooded Agu. You will be delighted with the lineup that allows you to enjoy Okinawa to the fullest, with three types of assortment of pure blooded Agu's belly, shoulder loin, and special loin, colorful seasonal island vegetables, Kibimaru pork dumplings, and island tofu and mozuku seaweed shabu-shabu!

The key to its deliciousness is the golden-colored broth. The broth is carefully made from dried sardines, bonito, and kelp, and has a smooth texture and a refined sweetness. This broth is delicious enough on its own without the need for ponzu sauce or other sauces.

If you dip it in the broth, the sweetness of the purebred Agu pork and the umami of the broth will fill your mouth. The meat is finely textured with just the right amount of fat, so you can enjoy a texture that melts in your mouth. The deep flavor, smooth texture, and refreshing aftertaste are perfectly combined to provide you with a luxurious dining experience.

If you wrap the meat in sea grapes, you can enjoy a different flavor. The balance of the popping texture of the sea grapes, the gentle saltiness, the sweetness of the broth, and the umami of the meat is just right, making this a truly Okinawan way of eating.

Of course, we'll finish off with Okinawa soba. The broth, which is packed with the flavor of the meat, gently envelops the noodles, creating a deep yet light flavor.

Why not experience Okinawan culture while tasting the deliciousness of purebred Aguu pork that can only be found here?
The delicious flavor spreads throughout your mouth and leaves you feeling completely satisfied.
