Higashi Restaurant

Do you want to experience a new kind of shaved ice? If you want to experience it, you must go to “Higashi restaurant.” It has wonderfully delicious and innovative shaved ice. It’s maybe the number one shaved ice in Nago City. No, it’s maybe number one in Okinawa. This restaurant is featured by many local TV programs, so there are many customers every day. But don’t worry, most of the customers are coming for the famous shaved ice so they don’t stay as long as the customers who come for regular food like Okinawa soba and fried rice. So, many people just eat shaved ice and get out fast. Some people come for a takeout shaved ice. Higashi restaurant has takeout service for shaved ice so you don’t have to stay at the restaurant. You can eat shaved ice even if you are busy.

Now, we are going to talk about our first impression of the Higashi restaurant. The first thing we saw when we arrived at the place was a huge sign saying, “ひがし食堂” on top of the restaurant so we couldn’t miss it.

Actually, there were a few signs which were describing how to get to the restaurant on the way to Higashi restaurant so we could get to the restaurant without any confusion in the first place. When we entered the restaurant, we were amazed by its cozy atmosphere.

We saw many menus on the wall so we could pick what we wanted to eat before we even opened the menu book.

We ordered four kinds of shaved ice and fried rice. The shaved ice’s flavor was milk strawberry, milk green tea and milk zenzai. We strongly recommend the flavor with milk sauce because it makes the shaved ice better. When the shaved ices arrived at our table, we were fascinated by the huge ice towers. We didn’t know where we should start eating from because it was so huge. When we ate it, we thought that we were eating cold cotton candy because it melted like cotton candy in our mouths. We finished our shaved ice real quick without thinking about the brain freeze. Actually, we couldn’t think about the brain freeze because they were so good so our spoons never stopped. And also the regular meal like fried rice is so delicious too. All the food has an Okinawan taste so you could experience Okinawan flavor style easily by visiting “Higashi restaurant.”

In conclusion, we want say that if you go to Higashi restaurant, please order the famous shaved ice and eat it up before it melts because we want everyone to experience the innovative texture. After you experience this shaved ice, you won’t want to eat other shaved ice because your heart and mouth will be captured by Higashi’s shaved ice.
