About 23 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is a coffee shop located in Shuri, Naha City. It is famous for its old-fashioned custard pudding, but it also serves curry, coffee, cakes, and soft drinks, all of which are excellent. Once you go there, you will never forget it.
Point 1: Near Shurijo Castle, where many famous stores gather! What is the location of Yamashita Coffee Shop?
Yamashita Coffee Shop is located in Shuri, east of Naha City. The ruins of Shuri Castle are also located there, and the entire town has a quiet atmosphere with many “famous” restaurants.
Yamashita Coffee Shop” looks like a long-established restaurant and has been there for a long time, but in fact, it was relocated and opened in 2022.
Facing the street are the words “Yamashita Coffee Shop” and a retro street lamp. The entrance is unique in that the alley next to it serves as the entrance. There is no parking space, so you have to park in a coin-operated parking lot, which is a bit of a downside.
The interior is also retro, with a good old-fashioned interior style that makes you feel as if you have time-traveled back to the Taisho or early Showa period.
Point 2: There is more than just pudding! What kind of dessert menu does Yamashita Coffee Shop have?
The most famous item at Yamashita Coffee Shop is the traditional visual “coffee shop pudding” (600 yen).
Recently, even the pudding has been varied, including the new “pudding float affogado” in the photo and the pudding parfait!
Chocolate or espresso-covered ice cream is ON top of the pudding, so you can enjoy a double deliciousness! It tastes like pudding and ice cream, perfect for the coming warm season in Okinawa!
Other cakes such as fresh chocolate tart and cheesecake are also highly reputed!
The beverages are also very nice and not too expensive at around 500~600 yen, including the special flannel drip coffee brewed by the young owner, syrup juice, banana milk, chai latte, brown sugar ginger lemon, and more!
Point 3: This one is also excellent! Introducing the meal menu at Yamashita Coffee Shop!
Yamashita Coffee Shop is also particular about its food menu.
The most popular item is the “Ham and Cheese Sandwich” shown in the photo! The ham is homemade, and the texture is almost as tough as meat.
We also recommend the curry, which is said by regular customers to be “the best or second best curry I have ever had! It is a stylish curry with finely chopped ingredients, molded rice, and a sprinkling of nuts, but the taste is outstanding!
Please visit Yamashita Coffee Shop for coffee, pudding, and curry.
