While in my hotel here in okinawa I have been swamped by news papers and magazine articles with different restaurants and places to eat. When I first arrived I decided to stay with the safe restaurants that I know; like Burger King, Mcdonalds,Pizza Hut, Kentucky fried chicken and the list offast food resteraunts in Japan can go on... Due to my fear of eating raw fish I must of ate Japanese Mcdonalds for a month. Japanese Mcdonalds is better than their American big brother but after all of those burgers I was in the mood for something new and refreshing. I decided to make a slow progression into the Japanese cuisine. The Japanese have a great semi fast food restaurant called mos burger. I think MOS burger bows away any American fast food restaurant. The japanese service is excellent and the japanese semi fast food style is refreshing. After about a week transition I decided to open one of the news papers in my hotel. I decided to go to a place called an Izakaya. An Izakaya is a place to drink and they offer a splendid array of dishes from chicken, fish, all sorts of vegetables. They all served to your table by a japanese waitress on these little dishes. Izakayas are probably the most popular restaurant in japan. I heard that in mainland they have begun to theme these restaurants. One restaurant uses Manga characters as servers one of the characters is dressed like a Japanese School Girl, pretty odd I know. Anyhow, from the news paper I decided to visit this restaurant that was shaped like a huge okinawa sake barrel. What a place....! Out of all the japanese restaurants that I have ate so far, this one was originally Japanese and delicious. They even had a real japanese sword hanging in the bathroom. There are a lot of fake japanese swords out there so I was surprised to find out that it was an authentic katana japanese sword. This place was h-just great!!! As I visit new restaurants during my visits to okinawa I will let you know about my good and bad experiences. What have your Japanese dining experiences been like?
