Point 1: 19 minutes from the airport! What is the location of “Nuchigusui Sweets”?
Nuchigusui Okashi” is an unusual store name, but it means ‘medicine of life’ in the Okinawan language.
As the name suggests, the shop sells sweets made with additive-free and gluten-free ingredients that are good for the body. Their main product is parfaits, but they also have many fans for their baked goods such as macaroons.
This store is located in Itoman City, a 19-minute drive from Naha Airport. In terms of location, it is near “Itoman Fishing Port” and “Southern Beach Hotel. There is no parking lot, so it is recommended to park your car in the parking lot of “Itoman Ichiba Itomaru” (about 5 5-minute walk from the store).
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 189 and get off at “Itoman Rotary”. You can reach the store in 2 minutes on foot without changing buses, so I would say that access to the store is easy.
You will be charmed by the cute, rustic wooden blue hut-style exterior, which is said to be handmade by the owner.
Since it is a popular store, you may not be able to get inside and have to wait outside, but there are chairs available for you to sit on. The waiting time is fun and exciting.

The price is a little bit expensive, but it’s worth it. The prices are a bit steep, but the additive-free ingredients are good for you, and each cup is packed with delicious ingredients, so the prices are understandable.

Although they say it is seasonal, the products are changed in a relatively short period, and the taste is so addictive that you want to visit each time!
It’s the kind of taste that makes you think, “Did additive-free taste so gentle? It is a taste that makes you think, “I didn’t know additive-free tastes so gentle.

In addition to parfaits and panna cotta, Nuchigusui Sweets also makes baked goods such as macaroons and chiffon cakes.
The “Cheese Chiffon Cake” pictured in the photo has an addictive taste with its gentle sweetness combined with the salty taste of cheese!
The chiffon cakes are available cut into pieces and also in rice flour plain, rice-flour cocoa, chai, moon peach, and mocha marble. (300-350 yen)
Because of the use of rice flour, this one also feels healthy but also chunky and addictive.
There are also red sweet potato, snowball, oatmeal, and Earl grey macaroons (from 200 yen). (From 200 yen) These come in cute bags, so they make good souvenirs!
