Location: Yomitan, on the 6 between Zanpa and Maeda, along the seawallHours: no idea, but have only seen this place open for lunch once. They are open most nights as an izakaya.
This is a hole-in-the-wall Japanese place that has intrigued up as we drive by it heading home from the beach or diving. One Monday they were open for lunch when no one else was, and we partook. There is no English menu and no English signage. The offering are listed on the wall. The waitstaff was able to translate words on the menu to their English counterpart (champaru, tamago). We went with the point-and-shoot method of food selection and ended up with a tofu champaru and an omelet with fried spam. This is true Japanese comfort food - large servings, freshly cooked, piping hot, serves with rice, miso soup, and minidish of pickles. The tofu was wonderfully fresh and in large chunks, and was mixed in with cabbage, mini pieces of hot dog, pork shreds, bean spouts, etc. The omelet was cooked perfectly, buttery but light. And what can one say about tinned meat product, really. There is all-you-can-drink iced tea in a pitcher on the table. Other patrons were eating suki soba and a delicious-looking tofu soup.
