Tea House Sandanbana
Here, you can take a break and feel the comfortable Okinawan breeze. You can enjoy a variety of light meals, but the steamed meat buns with red potatoes and agu pork are the restaurant's recommended menu item.
I also recommend brown sugar zenzai. In Okinawa, zenzai is a type of kaki-gyo (shaved ice). Kakigyo with brown sugar syrup, azuki beans, white beans, and soybean flour is Okinawa World's special zenzai.
Azuki and shiratama seem like strange foods to foreigners, but why don't you give them a try? We are sure you will like the deep sweetness and refreshing aftertaste.

- Brown sugar zenzai 480 yen
