About 37 minutes by car from Naha Airport. This cafe is located in Kituna, Ginowan City. You can enjoy reasonably priced curry and sweets despite the gorgeous exterior and interior. Once you visit, it is sure to become a “favorite” of yours!
Point 1: The view from the hill is amazing! What is the location of Vista Club Cafe?
The exterior and interior of the “Vista Club Cafe” are so luxurious that it looks like a European mansion. If you think you have seen this exterior somewhere before, it is the “Vista Club” in the American Village.
It is actually a sister store of this “Vista Club,” which opened in July 2023. Like the Chatan branch, it is run by a Tokyo-based apparel store, and this one offers spiced curry and coffee under the supervision of Osaka Cobachi Curry.
As the name Vista Club suggests, the restaurant is located on a hill, so you can enjoy curry, coffee, and sweets while admiring the wonderful views of Futenma and Chatan from inside the restaurant.
Like the Chatan branch, it does not have an Okinawan feel, but more of a Cuban urban and colonial atmosphere, which is the theme of the restaurant.
It takes about 37 minutes from Naha Airport via Routes 58 and 87.
By bus, take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 and get off at “Aja”, then take bus No. 31 from the Toyo Bus Terminal located 1 minute’s walk from the bus stop, and get off at “Shinshiro”. It is a 4-minute walk to the restaurant.
This area is called “Ginowan Hills Street” and is famous as a street where many fashionable stores are now gathered in Okinawa.
The store is operated by an apparel store, and its stylish brick exterior with a luxurious feel will raise your spirits!
Point 2: Introduction of the curry menu at “Vista Club Cafe”!
Vista Club Café” offers several kinds of spiced curry for lunch.
The curry menu starts at 11:00 a.m. and is mainly “Aigake Curry” as shown in the photo!
The regular menu includes “Beef & Pork Keema Curry,” “Chicken Keema Curry,” “Lamb Keema Curry,” “Red Butter Chicken Curry with Butter Chikake” and “Beef & Pork Special Curry,” with the “Beef & Pork Special Curry” at 1280 yen and the rest at 1180 yen.
The curry comes with soup and a small bowl of pickles, but you can add more soup (100 yen), a large serving of roux (250 yen), or onion Chakkake (200 yen) for an additional charge.
All the curries are visually beautiful and look very tasty.
The curry is a combination of several spices and is quite authentic, even if it is for the Japanese, so you will want to try all kinds of curry.
In fact, for lunch, there are not only curries but also chicken over rice and pork carnitas (a traditional Mexican dish).
The chicken over rice is a bit of a stylish Okinawan twist, with basil sauce and prefecture-grown mangoes, and the use of ingredients is surprisingly unexpected.
I like how the restaurant adds its originality to a menu item that can be found anywhere!
Point 3: What else is on the menu at Vista Club Cafe?
In addition to curry, the café menu at Vista Club Café is also excellent.
The photo shows a “homemade chocolate brownie,” which is a perfect combination of rich chocolate cake and ice cream on top, making you want to eat another one!
Other sweets such as homemade pudding and hillside biscuits (scones) served with maple syrup are also recommended for their authentic taste!
From 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., the restaurant offers morning dishes such as the traditional Cuban “Liu Cuban Sandwich” with roast pork seasoned with Seekwasa, French toast with caramelized bananas and bacon, and a plate full of vegetables for around 1,100 yen! You can enjoy a hearty plate morning for around 1,100 yen.
Like American Village’s Vista Club, Vista Club Cafe in Kituna, Ginowan City, is run by a Tokyo-based apparel store. The café menu also includes a wide variety of homemade original sweets and authentic coffee, so be sure to stop by for a visit.
