那覇空港近くの海鮮料理店「今いゆ玉しろ 」でランチしてきました。ナビを頼りに初めて訪れると、え?ココ!?ロケーションに驚きつつも、食事の方はさすがのクオリティ。旅行の初日または最終日にぜひ立ち寄ってみてください。
Is it okay to come in here...?
"Imaiyu Tamashiro" is located 8 minutes by car south from Naha Airport towards Senaga Island and Tomigusuku. It is along National Route 331, a well-known southern driving course, and the Oroku Bypass, so I thought I would be able to find it easily, but the surrounding area was in the middle of large-scale construction work. I was so worried, "Is it okay to go in here?!"
しかし思いきって直進すると確かにお店の暖簾を発見。先日お邪魔した宜野湾の新店舗「麻婆食堂福笑い」もインパクト大の外観でしたが、ここもすごいです。工事の本気度といい、ボウリング場と和食店の組み合わせといい、クセがすごい…
However, the interior of the restaurant is so peaceful that you can forget the hustle and bustle outside. The warm wooden interior is cozy, and children's chairs are available, so it seems like a good place for families. After taking your temperature and being disinfected, you can head to a table or counter seat.
A seafood bowl where you can enjoy seasonal Okinawan fish
The most popular lunch item is the "Umino's Sashimi Bowl Set." Fresh Okinawan fish sashimi is served in a Yachimun bowl, and it looks very luxurious. Moreover, they are particular about cutting each piece after receiving an order.
The sashimi on this day was squid, red tuna, harago (the fatty belly part), and kurkinmachi, and the tuna harago was especially delicious. The surface was lightly seared with a burner, so the inside was rare. The rich fat of the tuna spread throughout my mouth without any sense of sinew.
After eating the sashimi, the seared tuna hidden underneath will appear. If you mix it with the egg yolk that comes with the set meal to make it like yukhoe, you can enjoy a different taste from the previous one. In the sashimi section, you can try two types of soy sauce: wasabi soy sauce and the shop's original numbing soy sauce, so when you combine it with the seared tuna, you get three levels of deliciousness, which is very satisfying!
Rich fish soup soba with delicious minced tuna
My partner, who loves spicy food, ordered the "fish soup soba set meal," which is a tantanmen-style arrangement. What looks like minced meat is actually minced tuna stir-fried with a special miso, but it doesn't look like fish at all, and even when you eat it, it tastes so good!
The minced meat is light like ground chicken, so it matches perfectly with the rich soup made from a blend of bonito-flavored dashi and homemade white sesame paste. The set meal also comes with white rice, so you can add it to the remaining soup after eating the noodles to finish off the meal.
Both the sashimi bowl and the fish soup soba were delicious, and it was a lunch that made me realize once again the appeal and potential of Okinawan fish. If you're wondering, "Is Okinawan fish tasty?" then you should definitely go. I guarantee you'll be amazed!

Parking lot at Imaiyu Tamashiro
This is a sister restaurant of the very popular restaurant "Itoman Gyomin Shokudo". It's located in a secluded area and the building is hard to see due to large-scale construction work, so it seems to have fewer tourists than Gyomin Shokudo. It's a hidden gem, especially on weekdays.
