Guidebook for Okinawa
Food Scene
I love this place because they have fresh Okinawan veggies, fruits, meat, herbs, you can name it. They have little shops where you can buy local food as well. You can make grocery shopping here, experience the Okinawa Farmer's Market, and cook at home!

グリーンリーフ (Green Leaf) 読谷店
224-17 SenahaMy favorite organic cafe in Okinawa!
The best bakery on the island! They have a donkey and few rabbits, cats inside the bakery and a huge Gajyumaru tree right across from the bakery. They use local organic ingredients and the place is very peaceful. I recommend this place for guests who want to eat good bread and have a relaxed time in the nature!
