The striped tent roof marks the entrance.
The striped tent roof and showcases of old-fashioned food samples give off the scent of Showa Era (1926-1989). The appearance of the restaurant, with its Showa-era aroma, is one of the main attractions of Okinado. Although the restaurant has a long history, it is a popular local Western-style restaurant that fits perfectly with our modern sensibilities!

The thought behind the word "outdated

The name of the restaurant is a bit unique: "Outdated Western-style restaurant, Okina-do. Why "outdated"? Don't you think? Actually, this word is not just a name, but the very stance of the restaurant. The restaurant was founded in 1933. The restaurant does not follow the latest fads, but uses local produce and carefully prepares each dish one by one. They call themselves an "outdated Western-style restaurant" because of their desire to deliver Western-style food that is unique to Japan. If you are looking for a place where you can find Western-style food that is not blurred, you are sure to love Okinado!

Borga rice with special hashed meat sauce!

The menu opens with a wide variety of Western-style dishes! This time, I had their signature dish, Volga Rice with special hashed meat sauce! The chicken rice wrapped in egg was well seasoned and somehow nostalgic. And what's more, the hashed sauce, which is filled with a lot of meat, is rich and luxurious! It is not just a nostalgic taste of the past, but a carefully crafted deliciousness that keeps you spooning.
