With the wedding all
behind us, now is the time for tourist me and date time :). We first went to the Kokusai market and
started picking things to eat.
We had the Conch
Sashimi (Tsubugai), the 'real' Irubaja, grilled shrimp and also the Sea Snake
Ramen. That was lunch :).
Then we headed
towards Shuri Castle by train. We had
tea time there too!
For dinner, we went
to shabu shabu. Pork is pretty famous in
Okinawa, so we thought we try it out.
They did cash only
so we couldn't order much since we didn't have too much cash on hand. We dug deep and was able to afford beer
though by combining our coins :). This
meal was pretty $$$ - the going rate was about $5 a slice of pork. I guess high class pork is just lost on me.
After that, since I
was still pretty hungry, we walked around and found an izakaya. Upon seeing they take credit card, we went in
and sat down. Even though we were in the
more tourist portion of Naha, it turned out we had found a local izakaya, as
the menu was all Japanese and the waiters only spoke Japanese. The menu had no pictures this time. So we
ended up getting the server to read out what the things were (especially the
fishes - and we knew what they were!).. Lol.
At one point, the guy even pulled out their iPhone to show us what the
menu item was by pulling up a dictionary.
So we ended up
ordering a bunch of stuff, including a $3 sirloin steak on a sizzling plate
:D. Yuuuummmm.
