Located in a quiet village in Nakijin Village, Okinawa, the 60-year-old old private house was renovated from the ground up by hand by the owner, who has no experience in DIY. The owner personally finished everything from the walls and floors to the lawn and garden, giving the space a nostalgic and warm atmosphere. It is like a hideaway where you can reset your mind and body while enjoying handmade sweets in the quiet nature.

The homemade brown sugar bask cheesecake is so soft you can feel it the moment you put a fork in it, and has a superb texture that melts in your mouth. The bittersweet sweetness of the brown sugar is exquisite and goes great with coffee.

The red sweet potato parfait is a dish that offers the aroma and sweetness of red potatoes in both paste and ice cream. It was a sweet treat with a gentle flavor that is sure to please any sweet tooth.

Incidentally, four kinds of taco rice are available on the lunch menu, which is also popular among the locals. Next time, I would definitely like to try their meals as well.

Review of Okibara

Okinawa Prefecture, Nakijin Village, Old Folk House Cafe Kururu -NAKIJIN- Old Folk House Cafe, Sweets

The space is so impressive that one can't help but say, "I can't believe they did all this as a DIY project. Enjoying sweets in the tranquility of the store, filled with the owner's wishes and surrounded by the nature of Okinawa, is truly a blissful experience. It is a "healing café" worth stopping by during a break from sightseeing, of course, but it is also worth going out of your way to visit.
