I visited Tokashiki island in December. Many shops and restaurants were closed because it was not a peak tourist period. I took a taxi from Tokashiki port to Aharen beach. The taxi lady was kind to show me the open restaurants.

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 is a restaurant serving set menus, and Shokudo is a restaurant that serves 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 home-cooked. The broth was flavorful. It was a simple yet satisfying meal.
