Okinawa Smoothies and Organic Food Shop opened in October 2020, about a minute’s drive from Naha Airport. We will start selling organic food in 2022.
Point 1: What is the location of “Parlor Nekpuu Asia”?
Parlor Nekpuu Asia” is located diagonally across the street from Noren Plaza in Tsuboya, Naha City.
There are many restaurants and eateries in the surrounding area, especially in the fierce competition for Okinawa soba (buckwheat noodles), where many of Naha’s gourmet restaurants are competing with each other.
Among such stores, this store is going its way as a natural-oriented store selling healthy smoothies and organic foods. The name of the store is surprisingly spirited, not like a natural store, but the enthusiasm for selling fruits and organic foods unique to Okinawa seems to be conveyed.
The store focuses on takeout, but there is some eat-in space in the store, and the air is pleasant and healthy.
Point 2: Introduction of the smoothie menu at “Parlor Nekpuu Asia
At “Parlor Nekpuu Asia,” smoothies made with fruits unique to Okinawa are available.
The season when a variety of fruits are available in Okinawa is usually from around GW to the end of summer, but there are some fruits available throughout the year, although the variety is reduced, so you can have a healthy smoothie.
The photo shows the “Acai & Dragon Bowl,” a bowl of acai topped with dragon fruit and other cut fruits.
It looks very colorful and Instagram-worthy.
Other smoothies include the Goya & Apple, Apple Carrot & Lemon, Mixed Berry & Okinawa Rose Honey, Passion & Peach Pineapple, and Meyer Lemon, and the lineup changes with the seasons, but you will want to try them all! (Prices range from 500 to 800 yen)
