I visited Tokashiki island in December. As it was not a peak tourist period, many shops and restaurants were closed. I took a taxi from Tokashiki port to Aharen beach. The taxi lady was kind to show me the restaurants that were open.
After a lovely soak in the sun and sea, I headed to a family-run Shokudo and Teishoku restaurant that the taxi lady recommended for lunch. Teishoku are restaurants serving set menus and Shokudo are restaurants that serve a variety of inexpensive Japanese dishes. The interior of the restaurant was basic with wooden tables and benches.
I ordered stir fry vegetables on Okinawa soba (700 yen). I opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful day with cool weather. The dish tasted homecooked. The broth was flavorful. It was a simple yet satisfying meal.
