Celebrating Okinawa with the ‘Okinawa Champuru LAB’

• - Mochi Okinawa Soba Champuru: This dish creatively incorporates chewy Okinawa noodles with tuna and vegetables, priced at 680 yen.
• - Tofu Champuru: A delightful balance of pork, vegetables, and the gentle taste of tofu at 680 yen.

In addition to these savory offerings, the FOOD LAB will serve popular Okinawan desserts that include:

• - Sata Andagi: A traditional sweet potato doughnut served for 150 yen (tax included 165 yen).
• - Okinawa Zenzai: A refreshing bowl of shaved ice topped with sweet red beans, colorful ice cream, and mochi, priced at 680 yen (tax included 748 yen).
• - Blue Seal Ice Cream: This beloved local ice cream brand offers a smooth and flavorful dessert for 300 yen (tax included 330 yen).
