About 17 minutes by car from Naha Airport. TESIO, a ham and sausage specialty store in Okinawa City, has opened a store in Naha with full of flavor. This is great news, even though you had to go to Okinawa City to get “that taste”! In addition, there is a bar where you can try it with wine!
Point 1: What is the location of “TESIO2× (TESIO NICAKERU)”?
TESIO2× (TESIO NIKAKERU)” is the second store of “TESIO”, a ham and sausage specialty store in Okinawa City.
It won gold medals at IFFA, the largest meat industry contest in Germany, the home of sausages, in 2019 and 2022, and has been featured in magazines such as “Brutus” and “Hanako” in Japan, and is becoming well-known nationwide, However, the fact that there is only one physical store in Okinawa City, even though it is available by mail order, was a bit of a bottleneck.
However, the fact that there is only a physical store in Okinawa City, even though it is possible to buy them by mail order, has been a bit of a bottleneck.
The location is right across the street from “Noren Plaza,” a fierce battleground for Okinawa soba and home to Yachimun-gai and many gourmet stores. The Sakurazaka area, one of Naha’s deepest spots, is also nearby.
Will unique stores gather with the same kind of unique stores? Once again, there are more stores to check out in the “Noren Plaza” area.
By the way, I didn’t know how to read “TESIO2×”, but it reads “TESIO NIKAKERU”. Lovely.
Point 2: Which one should I buy first? What do you recommend for “TESIO2× (TESIO NICAKERU)”?
TESIO2× (TESIO NICAKERU) has many kinds of ham and sausages. All of them are rich in flavor and chewy.
Among them, TESIO Frank (1 pack, 3 pieces) 780 yen is a very standard item at the store!
Eating dinner at a hotel restaurant or eating out on Kokusai-dori is fine, but staying in a condominium with a kitchen, getting takeout from a place like TESIO2× and enjoying it in the comfort of your room with a glass of Orion beer or other beverage in hand may be a more casual option.
And the Mozzarella Wurst (1 pack, 4 pieces) 880 yen is the most popular!
Ogimi Citrus Wurst (1 pack, 4 pcs.) 850 yen is made with locally raised pork and is a taste of Yanbaru Okinawa.
Speaking of Okinawan flavors, the chorizo with choregoose (1 pack, 4 pcs.) 780 yen and Ogimi Citrus Sausage (1 pack, 4 pcs.) 850 yen are also interesting items.
It can be said that the store is unique in that it has simple, standard products, but also has items with Okinawan characteristics.
Point 3: What drinks do you recommend for “TESIO2× (Tesio Nicaquel)”?
TESIO2× is located in a building called “Liquid” in Tsuboya, Naha City. TESIO2×” is a tenant in this building, so to speak, and to be precise, the standing bar is a separate store.
The standing bar is co-located, so to speak, with a wine specialty store called “LIQUID THE STORE.
There are no chairs or tables, but you can drink standing up, and you can enjoy Okinawan craft beers, craft gins, and craft rums.
The “Wandy” brand of Okinawan craft beer is highly recommended for its fruity taste!
