About 42 minutes by car from Naha Airport. This bagel store opened on December 1, 2023 in the Sunabe area of northern Chatan Town. Even without that, Chatan Town has a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, but now there are more choices again. I can see my taste buds becoming more and more gourmet and global.
Point 1: What is the location of Wake&Bagle?
Wake & Bagel” is located in Chatan-cho, in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. Most people think of the “American Village” when they think of Chatan Town, but in fact, it is an international place in many ways.
The photo above may look like a foreign landscape, but it is actually a landscape of Chatan Town.
The town of Chatan extends from the coast of the East China Sea to the inland area of Okinawa City just beyond.
Because the Kadena Air Base is located nearby, restaurants and eateries offer a wide variety of international cuisine, and the portions are not that of Japan.
There is such a wide variety and number of restaurants that even if you stayed in Chatan-cho for a month, you would never eat the same meal.
The entrance is marked by a sign with a retro illustration hanging down!
Sitting on the terrace with a tropical atmosphere overlooking Chatan-cho and eating a bagel, you will forget for a moment that you are in Japan.
Point 2: What are the characteristics of “Wake & Bagel” bagels?
Let us introduce the features of the bagels at “Wake & Bagel”!
The mother of this store is a famous cafe called “Timeless Chocolate” also located in Chatan Town, which was established in 2014 and is now in the realm of long-established stores.
The bagels produced by the store, which is particular about such ingredients, include homemade sourdough bagels (sourdough bagels with just the right amount of acidity to bring out the flavor of the wheat), BEC bagels with a cheese omelette sandwiched between them, and BLT bagels filled with vegetables such as healthy tomato, lettuce and cucumber. There are a total of 12 varieties of bagels, ranging from the healthy tomato, lettuce, cucumber, and other vegetables. Prices range from 500 to 1,300 yen.
The most expensive, the BIG BREKKIE (1,300 yen), is almost a hamburger with beef patty, hash browns, bacon, and a fried egg!
Point 3: It can be a “Wake&Bagle” combo!
The bagels at Wake & Bagel can be ordered as a combo with French fries, hash browns, or tortilla chips.
The price is 250 yen, which is a pretty good price for a combo, but there is a big difference between a bagel with and without an accompaniment, so we highly recommend you try the “combo” here.
