Eating in Miyako (Okinawa)
Self Catering. Max-Value has a pretty decent selection of stuff to keep you nourished. The food prepared in the market, ranging from fried chicken, sushi, bento "lunch boxes", and etc. are all pretty good. The retort packs of curries, pasta sauces and "hashed beef" coupled with the microwavable rice packs are cheap and convenient if nothing more. There are two locations in Hirara, one on Rt. 78 and one on 390. Both are in mini-malls with a pharmacy next door. The Italian restaurant next to the Max on Rt. 390 serves relatively good pizzas and has a ￥1,000 lunch buffet. Bass Line, near the Max on Rt. 78 serves cheap, large portions of decent food and has a picture menu. Sane-, on Mateita-dori, is your best bet for low priced meats and veggies. �
Miyako soba (宮古そば). is available everywhere and is a cheap filling meal. Miyako soba is more like pasta or udon than the traditional Japanese buckwheat noodles. It usually has a piece of "rafute" and some "kamaboko" in it for protien. Rafute is a fatty piece of pork that has been simmered in broth. Japanese will tell you that the gelatinous fat is good for you. Kamaboko looks like plastic but it is steamed fish paste and fairly healthy. You can also get soba with souki (spare-rib) or tebichi (pig's feet). Add the condiments slowly as they are quite spicy. �
Maruko-chan, Downtown Hirara (Nishizato-dori across from Mos-Burgers, 2nd floor.). Open 24/7. Very retro taco shop with gambling and interesting regulars. Recommendations: Breakfast set, tacos, taco-rice, steak. The tables are vintage 1980s game tables and the slot machines do pay-off. How it works is a mystery to be solved some rainy day. �
Painagama Shokudo, Hirara (Just off Rt. 390 across from Painagama Beach.). Dinner. Excellent mom and pop shop serving typical Japanese/Miyako fare at reasonable prices. Think of it as visiting your Japanese granny's house for dinner. �
Pani-Pani, Kurima Island (Cross Kurima Bridge and it's on th right at the top of the hill.). Lunch. Relaxed place run by a nice ossan (uncle). Recommendations: Pizza dog, fruit juices. Stop here on the way to Tako beach or Nagamahama Beach. Cheap. �
Chuzan (中山), 1-10 Nishizato, Hirara (See web page.), ☎ 0980-73-1959, . Dinner. Good "izakaya" with a nice selection of Miyako food. Moderate. �
A-Dish, 215-3 Shimozato, Hirara (Rt. 390 across from Painagama Beach.), ☎ 0980-72\7114. 18:00 - 22:00, closed Mon.. Reasonable Italian fare, wood fired pizza, relaxed atmosphere and a good bar upstairs. Price:Moderate. �
Hakuai Saikan (博愛菜館), Hirara (Near the big Sane-supermaket just off Mateida-dori.). 17:00-. Small Chinese place serving massive portions for rediculously cheap prices. Best to go with a group. Price: Cheap. �
