One of the joys of traveling is the food.
Many people look forward to enjoying a hotel breakfast buffet, but Okinawa has plenty of wonderful restaurants that serve breakfast.
This article features six restaurants that serve breakfast. Use this as a guide and enjoy a relaxing breakfast experience unique to Okinawa!

1. Bottle Palm Garden

Bottle Palm Garden is a seaside cafe that opens at 8 AM on Sesoko Island, an island accessible by car from Motobu Town. As the name suggests, the beautiful garden is the main attraction. The spacious terrace has a tropical atmosphere typical of Okinawa. The superb location overlooking the sea and sky from Sesoko Island is also appealing, allowing you to enjoy both the garden and the view.

On this lovely terrace, you can enjoy hearty hot dogs and sandwiches. The popular "Agu Pork Homemade Sausage Hot Dog" is a luxurious dish with a whole sausage on homemade bread. Dining in the garden, which has a tropical feel, is truly special.

2. Capful

Capful is a cafe that opens at 8am in Ishikawa, Uruma City, and is a renovated former foreign residence. When people think of former foreign residences, they tend to focus on the exterior and interior of the building, but Capful's garden with its superb location is also a highlight. Because it is located on the east coast, if you visit at breakfast time, you will be watching the sun rise.

The menu offers breakfast dishes with a distinctly Hawaiian feel. The "Breakfast Salad + Bread," recommended for breakfast, is a refreshing and healthy option that includes plenty of vegetables.

3. AIEN BAKERY

AIEN BAKERY is a bakery that opens at 8 AM, located deep within the residential area of ​​Kitanakagusuku Village. At first glance, it doesn't look like a bakery at all; its stylish and unique atmosphere, finished with mortar, is sure to draw you in.

The shop is filled with carefully crafted breads made primarily with oil, minimizing the use of dairy products. The croque monsieur, recommended by the shop owner as a great breakfast option, is surprisingly light despite its rich appearance, making it perfect for morning.

4. GOOD DAY COFFEE

GOOD DAY COFFEE is a cafe in Chatan Town that opens at 6 AM. The interior, a renovated former foreign residence, has a stylish atmosphere reminiscent of an Australian resort. Apparently, it was influenced by Australian cafe culture, which is why it opens at 6 AM, which is quite unusual in Okinawa.

They offer six menu items, primarily toast-based dishes. Their signature dish, the "Good Day Breaky," is like the embodiment of your ideal morning meal. The combination of bacon, avocado, fried egg, and toast is perfect, making you want to murmur, "I wish I could have breakfast like this every day!" Enjoying it with coffee makes it pure bliss!

5. Miso Meshiya Marutama

Miso Meshiya Marutama is a restaurant in Naha City that opens at 7:30 AM and specializes in set meals featuring miso. It's conveniently located near Kokusai Street, one of Okinawa's main shopping and entertainment districts. While miso might evoke an image of a traditional atmosphere, the interior of this restaurant has the feel of a stylish cafe.

At Miso Meshiya Marutama, you can enjoy dishes made with Tamanaha Miso, a long-established miso brewery in Shuri. Three dishes are offered on the breakfast menu, and the signature dish, the "Miso Soup Set Meal with Plenty of Ingredients," is so comforting and delicious that the warmth of the miso soup permeates every part of your body with just one sip.
