OKINAWA NAHA: Shimoji-Ya izakaya no longer has Senbelo (1,000 yen Tipsy)... Price point is now 1,200 yen. Friendly Owner Chef! (Sony RX100)

Shimoji-Ya is one of my favoriite little Senbelo spots in Okinawa with table seating inside and a few coutner seats outside.  But slowly Okinawa Senbelo (1,000 yen tipsy) has slowly increased to 1,200 yen. The cost of the Ukrainian War. 

Top 5 ranking.  You can order additional for 280 yen.

1,200 yen Belo... 3 drinks and 2 menu items. 

Exchange a marble for a drink.

Chicken was pretty good!

When in Okinawa you gotta do fries!  The Island is famous for curly fries.

The super friendly owner chef.  He was running the shop all by himself.

Awamori!

Garlic grilled in oil.

Overall this is a nice spot to chill for one of your beer hopping spots.  Lots of light beer foods and owner was really nice.  Check out my previous solo dining entry!

EKODA: Yakiniku No Tetsujin Hinata is back! But no longer called Tori (bird) no Tetsujin... 1,650 yen menu shrunk. (Sony RX100)

A good friend and I always use to visit Tori-no-Tetsujin for their amazing all you can eat and drink for only 1,500 yen that included 1 draft beer but the Shakuji Koen branch closed down and the Ekoda branch was renamed to Yakiniku-no-Tetsujin.

TokyoBelly Previous Entry!

There are 2 sections to the restaurant. The back has tables and entrance area take off your shoe seating.

Its been years but the menu was pretty much all Yakitori but also lots of Yakiniku Options.

Our 1,650 yen plan included everything in the far left column... the vegetable selection really shrunk.

Only 4 types of veggies included in the plan.  Don't let the prices here fool ya.. they gave just a few slices that must have cost the shop about 10-20 yen.

QR Code Ordering System.

Think they started this system to cut down on staff.

Initial plate comes out automatically with 2 or 3 types of meats including chicken.

Charcoal grill,

Eringi mushroom and onions.

Yup.. this chicken neck was not me! It was really crunchy and chewy. 

Overall the food is rather junky and I kinda thing everything is imported except for the veggies.  If you are a heavy drinker then totally recommend this spot otherwise its crazy smokey and food rather lowly.

OKINAWA URUMA: Masa-chan Bento. Small little neighborhood bento spot that offers 100 yen Okinawa Soba! Cozy picnic table outside. (Lumix TZ60)

When in Okinawa definitely check out the local bento shops... always so very inexpensive and food made in-house.

Kitchen in the back.

The bento's were around 300 yen.  

Karaage Chicken only 100 yen and 50 yen Corokke so cheap.

Small Okinawa Soba 100 yen and Large is 200 yen. 

Silver containers hold the soba soup plus you can add free tenkasu and red pepper.

Someone famous was here.

Little bench outside.

And my absolute favorite UCC Milk Tea! Only in Okinawa.

100 yen... Okinawa uses wheat from Ukraine for their noodles and many places have increased their prices from 100-300 yen BUT!  Only 100 yen here.

Totally better than any conbini rice ball... fully satisfied.  I mean Okinawa soba is not very complicated to make. I think the main factor in higher pricing is the amount of pork you would normally have as a topping. 

Sign says they are closed on the weekends.

Very friendly Bento shop near
