About 12 minutes by car from Naha Airport. It is a confectionary store located in Oroku, Naha City. The apple pie, of which 240 units are sold every day, is exquisite! The coronets are also inexpensive and delicious. The shop’s motto is “a confectionary store where you can casually drop by every day.
Point 1: What is the location of “Happy Pastry Shop,” a favorite in the Oroku area?
Happy Confectionery” is located in Oroku, a town popular among immigrants, near the airport.
It is only a 12-minute drive from Naha Airport. By Yui Rail, it is a 21-minute walk from Oroku Station.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 from Naha Airport Domestic Terminal, get off at “Gun Pier Mae”, walk 4 minutes to Yamashita bus stop of Naha Bus, transfer to bus No. 9, and get off at “Oroku”. It is a 5-minute walk to the destination.
The ride is short, but since you have to change buses, it will inevitably take about one small hour.
The store has been in business for 48 years. It is a confectionery store that has been loved by local people for a long time.
In a world where it is common these days to pay 500 yen or more for a single cake, we are grateful that the prices have not changed much since the old days.
Point 2: The most popular of all! Introducing the apple pie from Happy Pastry Shop!
The most popular item at Happy Confectionary Shop is the apple pie.
Rumor after rumor, some people were introduced to the shop after talking to their mothers at a bar, some received it as a souvenir and unexpectedly became repeat customers, and others received it as a gift from their workplaces. Each person keeps coming back for more.
The pie is moderately sweet, with a strong apple flavor, the pie part is moist and soft, and the cinnamon is moderate, making it easy for children as well as adults to eat.
The price was 800 yen per whole until about two years ago, but it is now 1,100 yen, and as of May 2024, the price is 1,200 yen. If it tastes good, it is probably still cheap, but considering the cost of living in Okinawa, it may be a bit expensive.
Not only for home use but since they cut up to 12 pieces, they are also perfect for serving at work or onsite! At home, we recommend heating them in a toaster oven and eating them with vanilla ice cream on top!
