During lunch time, I went to [Italian Restaurant ha-na], a popular restaurant with a current Tabelog rating of 3.60, located just behind Kokusai Dori Kera in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture.
This restaurant was selected as one of Tabelog's 100 Famous Italian Restaurants West2023, and is fully booked on this day as well.
It's run by a couple, and the inside of the restaurant is small, and even the empty seats had signs with the names of people who had made reservations.
This menu has pop illustrations and is super cute.
Order a large bowl of Japanese-style bolognese with Yanbaru pork and white onion topped with green perilla❗
While waiting for my food, I enjoyed a medium bottle of Sapporo Lager Akahoshi.
The salad that came out first.
Speaking as I feel, there's a poisonous colored thing on board❗
When I asked about it, I was told that it was a popular vegetable in Okinawa called ``Handama'', and it was also added to stir-fried vegetables and miso soup.
Of course, if you add it to miso soup, it will turn the miso soup purple lol
This salad was quite hearty, and the balsamic vinegar sauce went so well with it that I could eat it all.
However, just eating the salad made me feel quite full.
The bag containing the chopsticks is designed to make Mt. Fuji to kill time while waiting for the pasta to arrive.
That wonderful visual pasta plate I saw on Instagram❗
Aojiso is so nice to ride.
The noodles are quite thin and made with minced Yanbaru pork, which has a strong flavor, and is flavored with garlic and ginger.It has a homey, easy-to-eat taste, and even though the portion was large, I was able to eat it all the way to the end without getting bored.
After this pasta, walnut bread comes out, and the final meal includes iced coffee for 1,320 yen.
Considering this volume, I think the cost performance is very good.
The wife who runs the hall is also a very friendly person, and at first glance I wonder if she likes Africa? She was a wonderful person with a distinctive hairstyle and color scheme that could easily be mistaken for someone else.
Advance reservations are required for this restaurant.
Belly bread❗
Kuwachie Sabitan❗
