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?     

Located between Kyushu and Taiwan, Okinawa is the largest island in Okinawa Prefecture. Although part of Japan, Okinawa has it's own unique legacy, spoken language, and influencing culture. The people of Okinawa are descendants of the Ryukyus who had ties with both Japan and China.
