Okinawa World

Ok, here is another post I wanted to do for some time and just forgot! Okinawa World! This place is perfect of the visiting in-laws haha. It is all about Okinawa and it has plenty of shopping for “Okinawa” and “Japanese” things, local dancing, and other exhibits…basically perfect for visiting in-laws and friends to check off their Okinawa experience to-do list. You can spend almost a full day there if you wanted to to, as they have food and drinks on site too. I am not going to get too much into it, as there are plenty of reviews of this place already on the interwebs. But here is the Google map link and brochure for your use…have fun!

AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom / 이온 몰 오키나와 Rycom

So it has been awhile since I have posted anything, so I thought I would dust off the keyboard and get something newish up.  Well the AEON MALL Okinawa Rycom has been open since April 2015 and so it isn’t really “new” anymore, but I thought posting the shopping  guides would be nice for those planning your shopping venture there.  Just know it can get pretty hectic during holidays and weekends, especially if they have some type of crazy sale/campaign going on. But the new reality this mall made is that it basically made every other shopping mall on this island irrelevant. You can find just about anything you need there, especially if you don’t want to wait for Amazon…like me. When I decide I want something, I want it now! Well here it all is…the floor/shop guides, the food court guide, the tax free guide, and the Google maps link. Enjoy!

Jakkepoes Pancake House // ヤッケブース // 얏케 부스

Soooo….I had a hankering for some pancakes this past weekend and I wanted to treat my wife to a nice “café” experience.   She is really into the “café” life here on Okinawa now, basically, loves to yap the afternoon away with all her Korean friends over expensive lattes.  Anyhow, I put her to task to find something like that AND somewhere that had something decent to eat while the kiddo was at daycare.  Kinda like a date I guess….jeez how long has that been for us?!?!? So yea….back to the pancakes….so the wife got on the interwebs and found Jakkepoes Pancake House out in Yomitan, out in the area by Torii Station.  We both have not been there before, so we decided to give it a try.  Well to keep the story short, since I am not a true “café” critic like my wife is; it was delicious!  The wife was a little disappointed on the coffee section, but I went there for pancakes and was content.  It is really small operation ran out of a house, in the middle of a neighborhood, with limited parking like usual in Okinawa.  So if you have a small car you will be ok, else you are going to have to park elsewhere for the most part.  The menu is not huge either, but that is ok, since they have great pancakes and the familiar breakfast sides that will make us Americans happy.  You can just add stuff to your order if you want too…want more pancakes? Add as many to your heart’s desire! See my huge spread below…
