24HOURS｜OKINAWA
At the end of September, the heat inland slowly dissipated, while the low latitude of Okinawa still looks like a summer day. The island is bustling with excitement, and if you want to extend your summer, you might as well come here to feel the pleasure of the island.
1. トックリキワタ珈琲琲 shop into the alleys of the International Pass, many shops that exude good taste and are extremely comfortable are waiting for you to push open its doors. This café, which has just opened for a year, is located next door to the popular Hanakasa Cafeteria. In front of the door hung a plainly colored wind chime, as if waiting for a gust of wind to come and shake it awake.
There are not many customers in the shop, the log-colored tables and chairs, a Bose stereo hanging from the top of the wall, and the counter in front of the bar with some pounds of cakes, scones and French toast, just a glance is almost taken away by the charm of these small things. The utensils used in the store are all handmade utensils from the small birds in the workshop, and there are also some writers' models. Small wooden cabinets on one side make room for them to be purchased here.
Choosing a Japanese-style deep-roasted blended bean from six hand-brewed beans, the barista said, "It's a bean specially brought from Masa's Factory in Saitama Prefecture, and it's delicious." "No.14misto, made with three beans from Ethiopia, Guatemala and Colombia, has a balanced and mellow taste, and the warm feeling is as soft and appropriate as if the back is gently touched.
When I left, I packed a cup of ice latte, and the condensed part was to use the blended beans except for the hand-brewed bean list, perhaps having tasted the favorite cup of the trip, and felt that this cup was still a little bit from the surprise.

<h1 toutiao-origin="h1">2. faidama</h1>
A few minutes' walk from トックリキワタ, you can meet this set food restaurant recommended by a local magazine. Similar facades convey the same intention of passing on good food to customers. The name "ふぁいだま (faidama)" is taken from the dialect of Yaeyama and means gluttonous, and I guess the owner must be a cute person with a deep obsession with food.
Entering the store at 2 p.m., there was only one table of two middle-aged guests dressed in plain clothes besides me. Two half-left beers landed on the wooden table and were forgotten by the guests who were talking to the owner.
The order is a piece of Yaeyama soba noodles, unlike okinaba noodles that are found everywhere in Okinawa, the noodles of Yaeyama are thinner, rounder, and not wrinkled. It's satisfying to add fresh salads and small portions of rice from the season.
It is worth noting that although the menu here is not very diverse, the owner changes the menu every two weeks, and it also clearly identifies the origin of the various main ingredients. In order to feel the seasonality, local fruits and vegetables are also used as much as possible. Every Tuesday morning, Chef Yi would go to his father's vegetable garden to collect fresh vegetables and return to the store. Although it is only open for 4 hours, during these 4 hours, you can feel that it is full of heart.

3. Waves above the beach
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, walking down from the Boshang Palace, what ran into the eyes was full of clean blue and white, refreshing and refreshing, making people feel relaxed. This is the only beach in Naha City, and only a 300m long beach, together with an extended transverse elevated road, forms a unique landscape.
There are children who frolic in the water, there are young people who enjoy beach bathing, and there are also middle-aged people who soak up the sun. I stepped on the fine gravel and walked forward, and the waves of the sea rushed to my ankles, bringing a cool touch. From the afternoon to the sunset, listening to the tide rise and fall, occasionally a few planes slid through the air, pedestrians on the elevated road passed intermittently, a person in a daze, thinking, taking pictures. Seeing the sea is a private thing.

4. Mahou coffee
"For guests who are on the verge of overflowing, provide a pure and quiet coffee time."
A very well-behaved coffee shop: no photographs, no loud conversations, no long stays, and one cup of coffee per person. Look around, the store is lined with books, and the bar on both sides is piled with hanging ears and coffee beans for sale.
Ordered a cup of ice latte, is the use of the owner of the MOHOU BLEND, the taste is smooth and do not forget to leave a sweet and long aftertaste to the tongue cavity, enough to make people harvest a whole afternoon of joy. After drinking, i added a cup of cold extract, mellow and balanced, which is a good partner to relieve the heat in summer.
The store is decorated with quaint colors, and even the sound of scrubbing cups and saucers is so light that it is covered with a silencer. After a couple went out in the seat in front of the door, an old couple came in. Ordered 2 cups of ice latte, sat down at the bar, took out a magazine, the old lady squinted her glasses and read it carefully, tasted the coffee that had just been served, and whispered to the wife next to her, "Delicious, right." "Well, it's delicious."
It was only later that I noticed the store's motto: "For the guests who are rushing around in this era of overflowing, provide a pure and quiet coffee time." "Smooth jazz, aromatic coffee beans, books to flip through, these are the so-called hearts.
Talking to other baristas, "This should be what the tea shop used to look like, right?" "Yeah."

<h1 toutiao-origin="h1">5. Coffee potohoto</h1>
It is a small home baking restaurant in Sakaecho Market, with an extremely narrow door and a bench opposite about 5 seats, and was selected to join the Sakaecho Market Revitalization Group with its high popularity.
The bar is lined with home-baked beans. The beans of this house are also souvenirs that many travelers will take home. I ordered a cold latte first, and the sweetness in the mouth was too much. Asked the barista is mixed with 4 kinds of beans, mostly medium and deep roasting, but it is very colorful, I have to sigh the roaster's superb skills.
This is followed by a piece made with a presser. After being explained by the barista, an Ethiopian bean was selected. After the brewing was complete, the owner brought me a pressure pot, coffee cups and saucers, and a timer. Just wait a few moments before pouring into a glass and enjoying.
In the vegetable market in the city, there are young people who come to buy beans, and there are also old women who bring a cup of coffee to chat about daily life. Sitting on the bench in the doorway, you can smell the baked sweet potatoes next door.

6.The Mihama American Village
Arrive at the American Village at five or six o'clock in the evening, just in time for a sunset. Walking in the direction of the Ferris wheel, the drums became stronger, and it turned out that the street performers were performing. Here, the tone of the okinawa three lines is always not boring, whether it is the noisy streets of the international pass late at night, or the sunset square in the evening of the American Village, different ages, different singing voices, are all worth staying in.
In the distance, you can see the silhouette of the crowd on the shore in the sunset. Striding past, I didn't have time to notice the shadows scattered on my body, my eyes waited for the moment when the light dissipated, and the whole sea began to darken, so it was a good choice to go to the next store to buy a bottle of wine or nibble on a skewer barbecue and walk on the street to blow the evening breeze.
