OKINAWA NAHA: Shimaneko Craft Beer! Super friendly American couple runs the spot. (Sony RX100)

When everything seems nearly deserted on Kokusai Street in Naha you gotta venture into the maze of small restaurants in the old Mitsukoshi Building... everyone was here!  

But on the basement floor all the way at the very back there is a super cozy craft beer spot called Shimaneko Craft Beer.  Chatted up the American bartender to find out he and his wife run the place. 

Lots of old rock tunes on the BGM.  


Nago Beer was all me!  First time to try it and super smooth... In the supermarket or convenience stores you will see it labeled 75.  7 is Nana and 5 is Go thus Na-Go.  Only about 200 yen a can.


Great long counter seating.  During my 30 minutes there it was an all American crowd.  I guess there is really no pub culture in Okinawa so didn't spot any Japanese people.  Just a guy on a date with a local lady. 


Definitely worth the visit... lots of friendly folks to chat up.
