Discover Okinawa in the Heart of Kamiyacho
This summer, immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of Okinawa without leaving Tokyo! From July 1 to July 31, the renowned restaurants LAVAROCK and GGCo, located in the Kamiyacho area, present a special summer menu featuring ingredients from Nago City, Okinawa, as part of the ongoing promotional project titled "Okinawa Nago 10000 Fans Monthly."
A Culinary Connection to Okinawa
LAVAROCK, known for its authentic grilled cuisine cooked on lava stones, and GGCo, a trendy urban café, have partnered with "CoCo JAPAN," a project promoting Japan's regional specialties. This collaboration aims to highlight the unique culinary delights of Nago City and share them with both local and international audiences.
LAVAROCK's Gourmet Offering
At LAVAROCK, you'll find a standout dish: "LAVAROCK-style Taco Rice with Okinawa’s Rare Agu Pork," complemented with island tofu and a fragrant salsa made from the local citrus fruit, Kabuchi. This dish skillfully combines the umami of Agu pork, a staple in Okinawan cuisine, with the distinctive flavors of the region. The result? A refreshing, summertime plate that captures the essence of Okinawa. Available exclusively during lunch hours on select dates—July 13 through July 17, and July 27 through July 31—only 20 servings will be offered each day for guests to relish.
