After a fun midday shopping excursion on Kokusai Street in Naha, we stopped to grab a lite bite to eat and get out of the incoming drizzle of rain. However, we popped into a restaurant that was more of a fine dining place than a lite snack. After perusing the menu we decided to order a meal and simply share it. The Lady Set seemed to be the perfect selection (as we were all ladies).
The lady set is a full meal that had a lot of variety to it. Starting in the lower left hand corner: White rice, sea grapes in a vinaigrette, salad with a Japanese dressing, tofu in a cucumber glaze, custard, soy sauce, miso soup, steak and vegetables. Each dish had a unique flavor that was almost like a taste roller coaster. The beef was cooked perfectly to my taste preference (medium) and the vegetables were soft but still had a lite crisp to them. The big surprise was the pickled sea grapes, which if you like pickled foods I highly recommend trying. They were tangy and delicious.
This was one of those accidental dining experiences that was a good, but made you wish you had stopped for a full meal instead. The menu had many delicious options that would have made for a really nice evening meal. The flavor and presentation of the food was wonderful and the service was (as always) courteous and efficient. Cost depending on exchange rate will be about $15-20 per meal.
