Point 1: Near the underwater road! What is the location of “Parlor JIN”?
Parlor JIN” is a parlor located in Uruma City, central Okinawa Island, just before entering the underwater road.
In Okinawa, a parlor is a simple diner with an ordering hut and a few semi-open-air seats, but this “Parlor JIN” has only an ordering hut and no seats.
It is located at the base of the Katsuren Peninsula on the way to the Uminchu Road in Uruma City, along the main road, so many people come by car and eat in their cars.
Many parlors open early in the morning, but we started at 1:00 pm. It is a style of business that opens at a time when people who go to the remote islands via the underwater road often pass by.
Driving in the intense Okinawan sunshine, the banners reading “Zenzai” and “Shaved ice” may look like an oasis in the desert.
Cars that see the hut are sucked toward it.
It takes about 1 hour from Naha Airport via Okinawa Expressway.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 113, get off at “Yakeina”, and transfer to an Okinawa Bus at the stop located 1 minute on foot and get off at “Nanpuhara”. An 8-minute walk will take you to the restaurant.
The trip will take 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Point 2: What is the menu lineup for “Parlor JIN”?
The lineup of “Parlor JIN” includes taco rice and Okinawa soba in winter, but only shaved ice and Zenzai in summer. The restaurant closes as soon as they are sold out.
There are seven types of shaved ice and four types of zenzai.
Taco rice is packed in a pack for 500 yen. A bowl of Okinawa soba is 100 yen.
