About 6 minutes by car from Naha Airport. Located in Wakasa, Naha City, this bakery is rooted in the local community. In addition to being delicious and inexpensive, they also have unusual breads such as piroshki and goat sandwiches. Note that sandwiches are often sold out early.
Point 1: Only 6 minutes from the airport? What is the location of Kameshima Bakery?
Kameshima Bakery is a locally owned bakery located in Wakasa, Naha City.
Not only in Naha, but also in Wakasa, Miebashi, Tomigusuku, Minami Uehara, Tahara, Maejima, Nichu-mae, Nakagusuku, and Houhou in Okinawa. This is why these bakeries are so well known among Okinawans.
Each bakery has a slightly different lineup of bread and sometimes original products, but the taste of the bread is almost always the same.
The Wakasa store is open from 5:00 in the morning.
You can take out and eat at the shop, which is located near Naha Airport, Naha Cruise Terminal, Fukushuen Garden, and Namiue Beach, as well as many parks!
This Wakasa branch is closest to the park next to Fukushuen, next to the “24 Hour Sweets Shop” and diagonally in front of the “Curry Cafe Okinawan Style” famous for its Bukubuku tea.
There are many interesting stores in Wakasa!
From Naha Airport, it is only 6 minutes via Uzumira Tunnel.
By bus, take Tokyo Bus TK01 or 02, get off at “Naha Commercial High School (Matsuyama Iriguchi)”, and you can reach the store in 8 minutes on foot.
Point 2: Introduction of “Kameshima Bread” bread lineup!
There are always 60 different kinds of bread at Kameshima Bakery, and unless you know in advance what you want to eat, you will have a hard time deciding which one you want to try.
However, sometimes the bread is not available due to stocking or other reasons.
There is also the pleasure of getting it when you encounter it, and the encounter with truly delicious bread is unprecedented.
To name a few, there is the most popular “Katsu Sando” (pork cutlet sandwich) with a slight curry flavor, “Tamago Sando” (egg sandwich) with a lot of eggs, Anpan (sweet bean bun), Melon Pan, Cream Pan, and Piroshiki (a kind of curry bread without the curry flavor).
All of them are inexpensive, but they are very filling, so even a single one is very satisfying. They are good for locals as well as travelers who can eat them in one hand when they are a little hungry!
Point 3: What kind of bread is “Kameshima Bread’s” goat sandwich?
Kameshima Pan” is only sold on Tuesdays, and there is a big chance that it will also be sold out in a matter of hours. It is called “Goat Sandwich,” but its official name is “Goat Cutlet Sandwich” (390 yen).
On Tuesdays, it only says roughly “before noon,” so it seems to vary depending on the day as to what time it is sold.
In case it is sold out, it is sold as a holdover. If it is sold out, there is a “goat meat miso bread,” so please try that.
When I think of goat meat, the first thing that comes to mind is, “Doesn’t it smell bad? However, the shopkeeper says, “It doesn’t smell bad.
It is a little more chewy than a regular pork cutlet sandwich, and it would be a lie to say that there is no smell at all, but it is not at a level that bothers me.
Okinawa is famous for eating goats, and this is a good “primer” for those who can’t make up their minds to go to a goat meat restaurant. We hope you will try it.
Kameshima Bakery has several stores in Okinawa. There is also a branch in Wakasa, a 6-minute drive from the airport. There are parks, beaches, and a cruise terminal nearby, so it is a good idea to take out and eat outdoors!
Please try the “Kameshima bread,” which is inexpensive, hearty, and delicious, and which has taken root among the locals.
