This Okinawan restaurant has been around before people started to discover that Okinawa was a good place to travel to and the trend for Okinawan foods.
Long before the time when Japanese dramas were broadcasted on TV.
It is located near Tai Koo Plaza by the residential flats and its first review dates back to 2007.
The decor was quite nice, it was mainly wood and black.
There was a sashimi bar where people can sit and chat to the chef while waiting for their food.
After trying an Okinawan restaurant recently, I was slightly more familiar with Okinawan food and the main items in that cuisine are Bitter gourd and seagrapes.
I would have ordered the jewel leaf but they did not have it.
They had pork knuckles as well but I tried other stuff.
After you have ordered, they give you some jellyfish pickles.
They provide tea as well.

Musabi with roe:
The musabis were quite big and it came with pickles to give it more flavour.
The roe in the middle was quite salty and hard.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Miso soup:
The miso soup was quite nice and there were generous vegetables and tofu pieces in it.

Congee with sea kelp and fish roe:
The taste of this extremely light so it is advised to try this first.
There is orange cod roe in the congee which gives it some slight flavour if you really concentrate your tastebuds.

Bitter gourd panfried dumplings:
These dumplings were delicious, the dumpling skin was also green, inside the dumplings were thinly sliced pieces of bitter gourd which were crisp and still had the bitterness to it.
After dipping it in the vinaigrette, it was even more delicious as the bitterness was reduced.

Squid ink soup:
The squid ink taste was not prominent. You could only tell that it was squid ink because of the colour.
I was expecting the soup to be slighty thicker and not transparent.
Basically it tasted the same as the miso soup I had earlier.

Udon stir fried in squid ink sauce:
The udon was fried in squid ink sauce and there were generous pieces of baby sweetcorn, carrots and sliced pork.
However the slices of pork were not lean, and the squid ink taste was not prominent.
It tasted like udon stir fried in oyster sauce because it was quite sweet.

Overall the portions here were reasonably big.
