Day 5: Whale Watching Tour --> Nangoku Shokudo (Lunch) --> Okinawa World --> Peace Memorial Park
The whale watching tour was a solid 3-hour affair and essentially claimed the entire morning. By the time we were done, it was the perfect time for lunch.
I've got to caveat this.
For some reason, when I google the name and address, it no longer corresponds to where I actually went in Okinawa. Perhaps things have changed. Or by some weird stroke of fortunate, our driver actually knew where we wanted to go based on the (wrong) address I gave him.
Whichever it was, I am glad we got to where we were, a tiny family-run restaurant out of an actual residence. It was just 4 counter seats and 4 cozy table-for-4 settings. And a tiny corner for kitschy souvenirs.
What drew to this place, was that we could get simple home-cooked Okinawan bento sets. I remembered reading reviews from locals that the food was homely and delicious. (Have no idea where those reviews disappeared to now).
Menu was definitely limited (since its a tiny family run thing). We ended up getting the chicken bento sets, since none of us wanted seafood. As advertised, simple and homely goodness. Another plus, it was cheap too. Our lunch came up to less than $10 SGD per person (even with the cup of coffee I was desperate enough to order).
