Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Teinsagu-nu-hana

Great Okinawa style restaurant. I tried their Okinawa soba noodles with so-ki pork set (ソーキそばセット) for ¥820 and it was delicious. It’s a bowl of noodles with soup and really soft pork (it melts in your mouth when you chew it). It came with side dishes like rice with miso, mozuku (もずく - a brown seaweed unique from Okinawa) and pickles. The restaurant recreates the atmosphere of Okinawan restaurants, with decoration and music from there. They have live music shows sometimes. On weekdays, lunch time is from 11:30 to 14:00, but at the weekend and on holidays is 12:00-17:00. Friendly staff. They take measures against COVID-19. I’ll definitely go back to try more dishes. (The restaurant is located in an interior corridor, so just follow the indications of the signs to find it. You can check the way to follow on my photos.)

Excellent place. In a covered little ally in the Okinawa Town shotengai next TL Daitabashi station. The place really gives the Okinawa vibe with ShiShi in both entrances, old Orion beer ads, Sanshin at the entrance and most importantly the very quaint interior (it’s an old wooden house with roof/attic seating spaces. The food is so great - we had the Soki donburi and soba and the pork is so soft it seems like they slow cook it for a whole day. The complimentary tea in Okinawa-style porcelain is a nice touch. For a price tag of 820 yen a person that’s an amazing bargain.

Great cosy atmosphere with authentic Okinawa fare. Try the pig feet, and the soba -- the taro cakes and sachimi was great too. Pay extra attention to that fiery awamori chili sauce!!
