I haven’t found a formal name for the sports park we
visited today.
Daughter #2 goes there to walk the dog, feed the fish and collect coral/seashells. It was large and quite nice.
Time to water the dog.
We cleaned up and went over to the commissary followed
with a trip to the AEON Mall Okinawa Rycom. This is a five story large mall
with the fifth floor being all restaurants and great views. The mall has
everything except large clothing. I have yet to find a t-shirt or anything that
I can wear. Largest size is XL in most things. Waist size goes to 38. There
were the usual plethora of women’s shops so Justin & I found a restaurant
with a bar and had very nice hot Hakutsuru sake at Red Lobster. I don’t know if
that is supposed to be a good sake but it hit the spot. Yes, go figure, Red
Lobster. I understand that the food is not good compared to the other
restaurants. The upside to the restaurant being empty was that the bar was also empty!
We then proceeded to see if we could walk all the
floors of the mall. I think that we succeeded! The girls were quite busy
shopping. I finally found something to purchase.
Awamori is a distilled
version of rice wine that has some black mold in it. I had no idea if any of these will be good. We sampled
the one on the right and I do believe it is an acquired taste!
Trying
to do a selective decipher from a translation app.
Middle
bottle - Mizuizumi old wine 43%
Left
bottle - Rui Izumi Shofuru – serve at 25 degrees.
Right
bottle - Rui HR Izumi 30% recommend to dilute with hot or cold water. We forgot to dilute it!
We had dinner at the
Wild Ocean Grill & Bar at the mall which interestingly enough had more
steak than seafood. I had the Atlantic Salmon which was done very nicely. That was the best offering but seemed odd as we are surrounded by the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Oh, well. I
also had some corn and potato wedges that came with it. I haven’t had either of
these since August on my Diet of Nope. They really tasted good!
