Okinawa Market |
Okinawa Market, located on Chuo Park Avenue in Okinawa-city, specializes in traditional Okinawan products, Habu-sake, and Awamori. Whatfs more, visitors to the store do not need to buy its merchandize blindly as they can enjoy tasting a wide variety of local awamori while engaging in a conversation about Okinawa with friendly English-speaking staff in a homelike atmosphere.
Besides awamori Okinawa Market sells locally made Star Fruity ice cream that is well worth a try and not available in any other place in the middle part of Okinawa Island. Many regular customers travel all the way from the other end of the island in order to have this popular ice cream. The taste of this ice cream is less sweet than mass produced ice creams that are available at supermarkets and other shops throughout Okinawa. Itfs also rich in flavor. Six flavors are available; vanilla, chocolate, mango, beniimo (sweet potato), pineapple, and ube (yam).

When you want to take a short break during a sightseeing or shopping trip to the area, stop at Okinawa Market and have a cold gNihede Beeru,h Itfs a beer produced by a local microbrewery at Ryukyu Kindom theme park in Tamagusuku, southern Okinawa, which won a silver-medal in the World Beer Cup 2006 in Seattle, WA, sponsored by the U.S. Brewery Association. The Nihede Beeru is said to incorporate in its taste the mystery of the Orient. It was born at Gyokusendo Cave and is a locally brewed natural beer that comes in two varieties; dark and pilsner. Its rich aftertaste is said to feel like a fresh stream of air in a limestone cave. Freshness is essential for beer, and Nihede Beeru is as fresh as beer gets. Its name is a play of words as gnihedebiruh is an Okinawan dialect word meaning eThank you.
Okinawa Market is located on Chuo Park Avenue, just 50 feet from the streetfs only traffic light on the south side of the street. It is easy to spot because of its bright red poles and Okinawan style tile roof around the entrance.
