About 42 minutes by car from Naha Airport. Located in Kitanakagusuku Village in the central part of Okinawa’s main island, this diner is well-loved by the locals. Many diners in Okinawa serve large portions of food, but you will be surprised at the amount of food that surpasses them! The taste is of course delicious, so it is loved by the locals.
Point 1: What is the location of “Kwachii Shokudo Aozora Kita Nakagusuku”?
Kwachii Shokudo Aozora is located in Kitanakagusuku Village in the central part of Okinawa’s main island.
Kwachii” means “delicious” in Okinawan dialect. It is a nice and relaxing feeling to hear it said in the dialect.
Kitanakagusuku Village is known for its many cute and unique stores, but it is also a place where the stores cooperate with each other and the locals love each other, making it a very tight-knit community.
It is also a “village of longevity” by national standards.
Kwachii Shokudo Aozora is located in the southern part of Kitanakagusuku Village, near Nakagusuku Village.
You can take a cab or rent a car to get there, but there is also a minibus called “Gusugumegurin” in Kitanakagusuku Village, so you can go there while taking in the sights or taking a walk.
Point 2: What is the specialty menu of “Kwachii Shokudo Aozora Kita Nakagusuku”?

The recommended menu item, which can be said to be the specialty of “Kwachii Shokudo Aozora Kitanakagusuku”, is “Yamitsuki Chicken Nanban” (600 yen).
There are many restaurants in Okinawa that sell large portions of this dish, but the volume of this dish is obliquely above those portions!
This amount of food for 600 yen? Will it be profitable? I was worried about it.
For an additional 200 yen, you can have a set of Okinawan soba (half-soba). If you are confident of your volume, please give it a try!
The “fried rice set” (700 yen), which includes fried rice topped with several kinds of fried food such as fried chicken, chicken cutlet, chicken nanban, and soki, is even more impressive in volume! You can’t even see the fried rice!
The menu is also rich in variety, with stir-fried dishes such as tofu champuru, yamitsuki seared pork bowl, rice dishes such as curry, Okinawan soba noodles, and shaved ice in the summer!
The curry and Okinawan soba are relatively “normal size,” so if you are worried about the quantity, why not order this one?
Soft drinks are only +100 yen with a meal, and alcohol is only 500 yen, even for the most expensive bottled beer.
Drinks are also surprisingly inexpensive!
Point 3: What is the amazing “soba set” at “Kwachii Shokudo Aozora Kita Nakagusuku”?
Kwachii Shokudo Aozora offers a self-serve all-you-can-eat menu that includes rice, soup, takuan (pickled radish), umeboshi (pickled plum), pasta, and andamisu (miso).
It is surprising that they offer all-you-can-eat for free, when you are worried about the profitability of the large portions alone.
In addition, if you order the “Soba Zet,” which has about 8 kinds of Okinawa soba, you can have half nanban, half chicken cutlet, or 4 pieces of fried chicken, rice, and side dishes as much as you like for +300 yen.
For the “Gohan Set”, all-you-can-eat rice and side dishes are available for +150 yen.
This is a great menu for men who just want to eat a lot and for mothers with growing children!
