OKINAWA NAHA: Sanshin Shokudo Yugafu. Jam sessions with Okinawan regulars all evening... owner/chef is also a well known musician. (Sony RX100, NEX)

4 Drinks for only 1,200 yen after 3pm... Drinks are normally 450 yen.


Little cards to exchange with drinks

Some outdoor seating

Counter seating for 4




About 3 regulars were jamming on and off.   This elderly guy was pretty fluent in English and playing a shamisen with an oval tin cookie can body.









If you like a little chill restaurant bar with guests that are free to jam any tunes this is a nice cozy spot.  Its near the very end of the Naha shopping arcade.

SHIINAMACHI: Oguro-no-Maguro prices have increased by 100 yen on some popular items. Due to Weekend 長崎神社 祭り Festival? (Sony RX100)

 

Friday evening and in the feeling for a plate of Sushi!


Totally recommend the 400 yen fresh lemon sour 400 yen and the sake refill is 250 yen.



A whole lemon at the supermarket is usually around 100 yen.


The menu was newly handwritten with some popular items such as 3 varieties of Sashimi up 100 yen and Rare Tuna Katsu also up.

Think they revised the menu due to the weekend Nagasaki Shrine Festival. 
In Japanese 長崎神社 祭り

But the special tuna box remained at 299 yen.  Only 1 order per person.

The San-Ten-Mori had some huge cuts in it this night.   Really thick and meaty.


The seared Chu-Toro was my favorite.



Of course my favorite 199 yen grilled Tuna Onigiri.



There is seating and a restroom on the 2nd floor.


Looks like they are stocking up for the festival.

There were only a few guys dining around 8:30pm on a Friday night. My drink, tuna grilled onigiri and sashimi platter came out to 1,298 yen.
