Point 1: A corner of the cobblestone streets of Shuri Giho-machi! What is the location of Cafe Kibako?
Cafe Kibako” is located in a stone-paved corner of Shuri Giho-machi, Naha City, central Okinawa Island.
It is a 3-minute drive from Shuri Castle, but only a 4-minute walk from Giho Station on the Yureru Line.
It is a place that tourists would pass by, but that is why the store is located in a quiet environment.
However, it is located in a residential area and there are no conspicuous buildings in the neighborhood, so it may be a little difficult to find.
After exiting Giho Station on the Yureru Line toward Shuri Castle, walk with the railroad tracks on your left, turn right onto the next street, walk for a while, and you will see the store on your right.
The wooden house is decorated in a way that you can feel the warmth of the air. The trays are also made of wood, which is a comforting sight.

Point 3: Brown sugar and chocolate scones? Desserts at Cafe Kibako are also noteworthy!
Desserts are served with lunch set menus at “Cafe Kibako,” but they can also be eaten individually.
For example, the “Brown Sugar and Chocolate Scone” shown in the photo is a brown sugar or chocolate scone, a specialty of Okinawa. It is served in the shape of a whole cake cut into pieces.
The scones are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and when eaten with cream and jam, they are sure to be addictive as well!
Okinawan Zenzai is also served as a dessert. Okinawan zenzai is made with kidney beans instead of azuki beans, but it has a nice slight sweetness. When combined with shaved ice, it has just the right amount of sweetness rather than syrup.
They also make handmade pickled plums, which are cooked with sugar and served as a dessert. Only handmade products are additive-free. The gentle taste sinks into your body.
