I was really certain I had a few entries for Bubuka Izakaya on this Tokyobelly blog but low and behold I couldn`t find one entry! Hmm.... anyways when in Okinawa this is my absolute favorite pub located about 2,000 yen taxi ride from central Naha Kokusai Street.
Seafood Salad
This IMUGE Okinawan Imo Shochu was a lost recipe mostly made by farmers who wanted to drink cheap potato based shochu. BUT somehow this year someone decided to recreate this sake without any recipes but just based on Okinawan History. As you know Awamori made of Thai Rice is the most prevalent drink known to the islands. For me it totally tasted like Kurokirishima.
It was the 4 of us and its sooo nice to take turns ordering food... I always order the same stuff.
The only way I can enjoy Tonsoku (boiled pigs feet) when its grilled... yum!
Okinawans love this Kurokirishima potato shochu... Its such a loved favorite both in the islands and mainland Japan. Has a little punch so add ice and water to taste.
Some menu items are pictured here but Bubuka does have English menus.
Grilled butter fish! YUM! But this guy was a bit too skinny.
The manager and sous chef! Mr. Shimabukuro... incredibly friendly guy. One of the main reasons I keep coming back! Say Stebu sent ya!
The Crew! One guy who works to support local culture and music, a fire inspector and a one time sales agent that pulled in $4 million in sales annually.
If you are lost in a sea of Okinawan Awamori sake just look for this bottle. Brand is brewed in this town called Yaese and only 598 yen a bottle! Can be found at Don Quijote in Kokusai Dori. A MUST!
Close with a dessert.
