Stone Tatami Tea House Shinju (Pearl) is a cafe with a view of the Naha cityscape
There is a historical and emotional slope with stone pavement near Shurijo Castle called Kinjo-machi Ishidatami-michi.
This road is part of a Ryukyu Dynasty road called Mazama-michi.
The cafe is named “Ishidatami Teahouse Pearl” because it is located on the Pearl Road.
Visitors can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a zenzai (sweetened red bean soup) while enjoying the view of the Naha cityscape. It is a valuable resting spot that is indispensable for walking the steep cobblestone streets.
Point 1: Located in the middle of a steep slope, it is perfect for a break.
The Kanagi-cho stone-paved path is a charming stone-paved path, but the slope is so steep that your knees will laugh at you just going down. It is so steep that you will be out of breath when climbing up. You can tell that the people of the Ryukyu Dynasty had strong legs and backs. Since it is located in the middle of the stone-paved path, it is a perfect place to take a break.
Ishidatami Chaya Shinju is located on a hill, so you can look out over the city of Naha from the terrace seats. The beautiful view will make you sweat and relax.
Point 2: Okinawa Zenzai and Okinawa soba are available.
The menu at Ishidatami Chaya Shinju includes coffee and other beverages, as well as Zenzai and Okinawa soba. The menu is multilingual, which indicates that many travelers visit the restaurant.
Okinawan Zenzai looks like ice azuki, which is sweetened boiled kidney beans topped with shaved ice. It is refreshingly sweet and will not make you thirsty.
Okinawan soba is made with wheat-flour rice noodles in a pork and bonito flakes broth. It has a refreshing taste.
Point 3: Great view from the terrace
Ishidatachaya Shinju has both inside and terrace seating, and the terrace seats offer a panoramic view of the city of Naha.
Ishidatachaya Shinju is located on a hill, so you can enjoy the beautiful view while sitting on a chair. The beautiful view and the comfortable breeze will double the taste of the zenzai and Okinawa soba.
The secret of Ishidatachaya Shinju’s popularity is its unpretentiousness, which allows visitors to stop by in a casual style, such as sneakers, suitable for walking along the stone-paved path. Please take a walk along the stone-paved path together with Shurijo Castle and refresh yourself at Ishidatachaya Shinju.
