Okinawa has beautiful sea and there are many bridges across the sea.
Today’s spot is…『Nirai Kanai bridge』.
The car came out of the tunnel into the beautiful sea!
But weather is not good… 🙁
The length of this bridge is 660 meters and max height 80 meters!

When I arrive at Naha airport, I always go to A&W at airport.
A&W is fast food same as McDonald’s.
A&W has stores only in Okinawa.
The specialty is the drink 『Rootbeer』.
The name has beer but this is non alcohol.
Almost same as coke but it has some unique taste…
Anyway, my travel in Okinawa cannot start without A&W.
This is my custom.
please try A&W Rootbeer.

In Okinawa there is unique spirits called 『Awamori』.
Awamori is made from indica rice from Thailand.
But nowadays, some of them is made from japanese rice.
The most popular way to drink Awamori is with water and ice.
Also, this glass is made in Okinawa called 『Ryukyu glass』.
Beautiful!!
Awamori cocktail!
Awamori is much with Okinawa local food!
But take care! Do not drink too much! Do not eat too much!!
