Meals/Food
Naha has an abundance of eating places every few building blocks apart, serving typical Okinawa cuisine at reasonable prices ranging from around 500 to 1500 Yen, as a basic rule there is no need to spend much more than around 650 to 850 Yen for a meal.
In
general none of the restaurant staff does speak any English but most eating
places have menus with pictures of meals for you to choose from.
Typical restaurant lunches (pictures left)
From my perspective eating out is getting a bit boring after while since the menu is almost the same at every eating place.
Recommend to try out the prepared meals available at every supermarket and department stores, there is a great variety available at very affordable prices ranging from 200 to max. 600 Yen for a fairly large serving.
Here are some typical cooked meals available from supermarket ranging from 350 to 550 Yen.
If you are renting an apartment then off course cooking some of your own meals is another option, specially breakfast is better to cook yourself, as the local breakfast usually consists of a few balls of rice with some pickled ginger etc and a bowl of miso soup.
You will also find some fantastic bakeries around Naha in particular at every department store and supermarkets. Many of them are of high standard with a wide range of selection of breads, cakes and savory's like you find in many western countries.
Sport and Soft Drinks

of the sports drinks available in supermarkets to replenish lost salts and
minerals during the hot sweat session. Sports and soft drinks are also available at vending machines on every street corner at around a third of Australian soft drink prices
