Restaurant review: Izakaya Kitaya

We found time for lunch at an izakaya that we have been wanting to try since it opened recently. It's located RIGHT beside the "Globe & Anchor Gate" of Camp Foster, off Route 130. The lunch sets mostly consisted of an entree selection (they had a reasonably array of options, we thought) accompanied by Okinawa soba, for about 900-1000 yen on average per set.

Being decidedly in the mood for some maki-zushi (sushi rolls), we chose to feast upon 3 tasty selections, one as part of a 950-yen set with a very decent (but not remarkable) bowl of soba & the other 2 from the specials of the day, listed (in English) high & prominently in the middle of the seating area, for 700-yen each. We knew this would be enough food for the hungry 2 of us, but we didn't realize that it would actually be uncomfortably too much, as the rolls were, shall we say, um, sizeable. However, since they were also quite tasty, we found digestive homes for every last bite. :-P

These photos are of the broiled salmon roll (with crab & avocado in the middle) & was quite deee-ricious, especially with that wasabi-based paste on top!

From Okinawa FOOD!!!
We actually enjoyed the food so much that we only took picture (with my cell phone) of this one roll (the first to come out) & then forgot to snap shots of the rest of our meal!
