OKINAWA NAHA: JIMMYs bakery and supermarket! Atmosphere totally reminded me of Hawaii plus American Restaurant! (Nikon D5100, Sony RX100)

 

Jimmys is the most famous home grown bakery in Okinawa and just loved by locals.

A whole section of Hawaiian Kona Brewing Company beer!  The BGM was all Hawaiian here.

Okinawa is famous for rotisserie chicken and tacos! Best in Japan.

But never tried Jimmys chicken though... Im more of a Urasoe Bueno Garlic Chicken guy.

Japan just doesn`t do cookies... was so tempted to buy this.  Jimmys is influence by the US Military so it might be authentic. Gotta try next time.

Whole grain apple triangle!  Apple filling I guess... only 130 yen!

Lots of fresh Apple Pies.

New limited item... peanut butter bread.

It took a while to eventually enjoy a piece of apple... it was mostly bit of apple sauce.

But more than anything the whole grain bread was sooo good... great solid chewy flavor.   Because the apple sauce was kinda limited you really got to enjoy the flavor of the bread.  If you want more apple and sweet sauce then hit up McD`s apple pie.

Overall if you are in Naha definitely give Jimmys a try... they have a great selection of imports, local goods, take away food and lots of baked goods.  Nice place to shop for freshly baked cakes!

This looked really good! Jimmy`s Island Grill lunch and dinner buffet at an incredibly reasonable price.

Wish I could join the Hawaiian special dinner buffet.   The interior of the restaurant had alot of booths just like the US.  Definitely a great spot to take your family.

NERIMAKASUGACHO: Komura Pan Bakery! Tiny elderly baker with an assortment of pastries and sandwiches. (Panasonic TZ-60)

130 yen Sugar Donuts.

Corokke Sandwiches.

Some drinks.

Elderly chef was making a pastry.

Closed on Monday and Tuesday.

I just wanted to take a few photos to add to Google Maps but she locked eyes on me!  So I had to buy something... ugh.  So I got me a 130 yen Sugar Donut. 

A very light, fluffy and a bit dry Sugar Donut.  Honestly for the same price you really can`t beat Mister Donuts.  But great to support local bakeries.

NOKIZAKA: Viking Bakery...OMG $9 for a heavy huge loaf of bread! Very chewy inside. (SONY RX100)

Viking Bakery is located in a very isolated spot far from most stations but I had walked from Aoyama-Ichome to Roppongi and when I glanced inside I was met with a friendly smile.

There were 2 young university girls working and very friendly.  

How much can a loaf of bread cost? I was thinking around 300 - 500 yen due to the posh area and size of the bakery.  NOPE! It was a whopping 918 yen! OMG!  I couldn't back out and ordered a loaf.

The loaf was unusually very heavy!  Wow... it was a brick.  

Randomly chatted with this girl outside... had to talk about how heavy this bread was.

If you collect enough stamps you can get a free bread item!  NOPE! I'm not about to spend $40 to get a $4 bread gift item....

Compared to my 55 inch TV.

Inside was chewy and had a nice flavor. This would be ideal to chop in half and add some ice cream and honey... something you spot here and there in Japan.  Anyways if you are a bread fan then you gotta check out this massive loaf of bread!!

The cherry blossoms are still here!  Its been so cold recently that they have kept blooming for a longer period of time.  Get out your drinks guys! Public drinking is legal here!
