Paradise is located about 2 minutes from Daimon Station. It's a Okinawan cuisine restaurant that I have been curious about for a while. When I entered, I realized that it might be my first time entering an Okinawan cuisine restaurant in Tokyo. I was unsure of what to order. Should I go for Soki Soba or Goya Champuru? Oh well, let's just ask for a recommendation! What came out was a simmered dish of pork and eggs. Surprisingly, it was delicious! I thought it would be a simple seasoning, but it had a surprisingly deep flavor. And most of all, I enjoyed it with the awamori that I had been looking forward to (laughs). I have been avoiding Okinawan cuisine for no reason, but it might be perfect as a snack when drinking.

All-you-can-drink course for 3,000 yen, perfect cost performance for those who focus on drinking. The sours are a bit weak, but can't really complain. The waitress took our last order, but it took a while to come out, so I checked and the owner said, "Last order is already over." We had enough, but it was a bit disappointing at the end.

I felt like eating Okinawan soba after a long time, so I entered a restaurant. However, I had never heard of Okinawan soba with pork bone soup before. But there was a set meal with Goya champuru and Okinawan soba, so I ordered that. There was a small bowl that looked like miso soup, but there was no typical Okinawan soba bowl, so I thought maybe the soba would come later. I started with the miso soup, thinking it was Okinawan soba, but it was incredibly salty! There was hardly any soba in it and no ingredients. The pork bone soup was so salty, it made me worried about my blood pressure. The Goya champuru was delicious as usual, and the rice was barley rice with mozuku vinegar, which seemed good for health, but I couldn't bring myself to drink the pork bone soup.

I visited "Paradise" in Hamamatsucho/ Daimon Station in Minato Ward, Tokyo. It is an izakaya that offers all-you-can-drink and Okinawan cuisine. The food was delicious overall and satisfying, but the customer service from the staff was poor, which made the experience less enjoyable. The variety of awamori available for the all-you-can-drink option was appealing.

My second son, who traveled to Okinawa and Ishigaki Island, even went scuba diving to see the underwater heritage of Okinawa, is a big fan of Okinawa. ❤ My husband and I have never been to Okinawa, so I would like to visit at least once. (laughs) Sometimes I want to eat Okinawan food, so I went to eat. There was a restaurant I liked in Jiyugaoka, but it was closed. (T_T) So, my son searched on Google and we came here. The Tokyo Tower lit up beautifully in the twilight. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a long staircase. I don't like stairs. When we entered the restaurant, it had an Okinawan atmosphere. ❤ The TV played VTRs of Okinawa's sea and towns, making us feel like we were in Okinawa. There was a great variety of awamori. There were beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, each with different alcohol content. I had beer, shikuwasa sour, Namiha white 25% on the rocks, Kaiha 30% on the rocks, and Yonbaru Kuina 30% on the rocks. My husband and son had the advanced 43% on the rocks. Amazing! Our family is in the advanced alcohol class? It's like showing off skiing skills. I'm only a beginner in skiing. The other two have never skied before. (laughs) [What we had] - Umibudo: Good balance of saltiness and sea flavor. - Mimigaa with yuzu pepper ponzu dressing: Mimigaa with plenty of collagen and refreshing ponzu dressing. - Island pickled shallots: Small and fresh. The staff took the time to clean them, which may have enhanced the freshness. It was the best pickled shallots I've ever had. ❤ - Mozuku and island tofu sesame salad: Plenty of vegetables, mozuku, and island tofu. Goes well with sweet sesame dressing. - Goya champuru with dashi flavor: Healthy dish with island tofu and bitter melon with plenty of bonito flakes. - Rafute with simmered egg: Rafute simmered to perfection, and the simmered egg with rich broth was delicious. ❤ - Curly potato spirals: Spiral-shaped curly fries. Crispy and delicious, perfect as a snack. ❤ - Taco rice: Perfectly cooked rice with amazing taco rice seasoning. The best taco rice I've ever had at an Okinawan restaurant. ❤ - Dessert: The small but hot and crispy sata andagi was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. ❤ - Oden with 5 varieties: We ordered additional oden for about 1000 yen. The unique Okinawan seasoning and slightly sweet broth made it different from regular oden and very good. ❤ It's a recommended restaurant with good cost performance. ✌ *It was crowded, and because of that, the staff didn't hear our orders, so my husband had to shout multiple times to get their attention. It would be nice to have a bell or something.

The other day, I went to a Okinawan restaurant called Paradise in Daimon after having Italian food. This place seems to offer a wide variety of awamori, so I was curious to visit for the first time. Since I was feeling good, I had sea grapes, Okinawan oden (pork bone based?), Watagarasu, Orion beer, and awamori to my heart's content. They provide easy-to-understand information about the alcohol content and taste of awamori, which made drinking more enjoyable. The Okinawan oden was my first time trying it, and it was incredibly delicious! Especially the island tofu! This is a must-try! Thank you for the delicious meal!

I often passed by this place around lunchtime. On this day, when I passed by a bit later than usual, I was drawn to the sign advertising Goya Champuru, and suddenly felt like I was in Okinawa. So, I decided to go in. I ordered the Goya Champuru set meal (with a mini Okinawa soba). It was a bit past 1 pm, so there was only one other customer inside. The meal arrived in about 5 minutes. The Goya Champuru was mainly made of thin bean sprouts and bitter melon, and was quite filling. It had a nice crunchy texture. Personally, I think it could have been a bit less salty. The brown rice included in the meal was cooked just right. I prefer white rice, so I could do without the brown rice, but it was still good. The potato salad with spam was delicious. It also came with mozuku vinegar, adding to the Okinawa vibe. The Okinawa soba had a slightly strong salty taste, maybe a bit too much. I could sense the bonito and pork bone broth, but it felt a bit lacking. Overall, the flavors were a bit strong for my taste. Thank you for the meal. Oh, and just a heads up, this place allows smoking during lunch, so please be aware of that.

I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to go to Okinawa this year, but I decided to satisfy my craving by going to "Paradise" for lunch. Located on the 2nd floor, I was already feeling the Okinawa vibe as I climbed the stairs with lanterns and Orion beer signs. Looking at the menu, I thought about trying the Rafute bowl or the Taco Rice, but I stuck to my choice and ordered the "Soki Soba" for 700 yen. The dish arrived promptly, with a cute Shisa patterned naruto fish cake. The noodles and broth were perfect, but the Soki pork was a bit too fatty, maybe 3 pieces would have been better. Nevertheless, it was delicious and truly tasted like Okinawa. I can't wait to try the Rafute bowl next time. Note: As of today, the rating is 3.26. There seem to be more negative reviews due to the spiciness, but I think the food is better than the ratings suggest.

I heard someone else say "the portion is huge" so I decided to try it. I love oil-drizzled chicken, but I thought it would just be drizzled over the chicken skin. However, here the chicken skin is coated in starch and fried to a crispy texture, which is just as good as oil-drizzled chicken sauce. The chicken skin is huge and very filling. It's a regular lunch menu item, so I will definitely come back when I want to eat it again!

We used a course meal for a company drinking party. The budget was less than 4,000 yen per person. The restaurant we found under these conditions was in the Hamamatsucho and Daimon area. They provided a private room, which was separate from neighboring tables, so we didn't have to worry about noise. The cost performance seemed good for a restaurant with course meals and all-you-can-drink options. The course included a 3-hour all-you-can-drink option with 70 types of awamori for less than 4,000 yen including tax, which was great. If you make a reservation through Tabelog for a group of 11 or more, one person's meal is free. The seats were spacious, the food was plentiful, and the drinks were promptly refilled, which was appreciated as the organizer. The famous oden dish had large pieces of daikon, which was satisfying. They also have a happy hour until 9 p.m. on certain days. I plan to visit again for a small gathering. Thank you for the meal.

Today I wanted to eat something hearty, so I ordered the daily special mapo eggplant, but it was a disappointment. It was like a watery soup with a little bit of minced meat, similar to something made from a retort pouch. I was really disappointed.

Okinawan doughnuts with purple sweet potato ice cream from Blue Seal was an amazing combination! The doughnuts were soft and delicious, I ended up ordering more. They had a wide variety of awamori (Okinawan liquor) and the coffee mix was easy to drink. They recommended a good awamori based on my vague request for something not too strong. The Rafute (Okinawan braised pork belly) with sweet sauce was perfectly tender and tasty. Even after having a few drinks and ordering a decent amount of food, the bill came out to only 3000 yen per person, so it was great value for money!

On a regular night, we made a reservation and arrived at 6:30 pm. We were the only ones in the private room on the 3rd floor. We ordered the "Super Value Course" for 2,980 yen including tax, which included: - Mimigaa Ponzu - Okinawan Mozuku Seaweed Vinegar - Island Tofu with Healthy Sesame Salad - Dashi Tamagoyaki with Arthur - Goya Champuru - Fried Chicken - Curly Potato Fries - Vegetable-rich Taco Rice The price was quite a deal, especially considering it included all-you-can-drink options with various types of Awamori (Okinawan distilled liquor). Personally, I used to find Okinawan cuisine a bit challenging due to its unique flavors, but the dishes here were easy to enjoy even for beginners like me. (^^)v

The restaurant has two floors with shops, so for lunch you have to pay in advance when ordering at your table. I wanted to try the Okinawa soba, so I ordered the Mixed Soba for 900 yen. Later, I realized that the set meal also comes with a mini Okinawa soba. I added rice as well. The lunch also includes 2 mini Sata Andagi and 1 Chinquapin. It's convenient that you can take them home. The rice was not Okinawan-style, just regular white rice. The Okinawa soba was extremely salty, even the noodles were salty. The flavor was not bad, actually quite tasty, but just too salty. The pork belly was okay, and the seasoned glass noodles in the side dish were good. I tried adding the chili vinegar on the table to balance out the saltiness, but it was still quite salty. The rice was left untouched because of the saltiness. I wouldn't recommend the Okinawa soba due to its saltiness. Maybe it's better if it comes as part of a set meal? But still, it's quite salty. I might consider revisiting depending on the daily specials.

Okinawan izakaya located about a 3-minute walk from Daimon Station. I visited for lunch on a weekday. They use a pre-payment system when ordering. I was initially thinking of getting the taco rice, but they had a Monday-only half-price discount on the Sirloin Steak Don (1000 yen → 500 yen), so I ordered that instead. Half price is quite a deal. The interior on the 2nd floor of a mixed-use building feels a bit cramped. Both the customers and staff seemed slightly awkward to move around. [Sirloin Steak Don (1000 yen → 500 yen)] It was served about 8 minutes after ordering. Let's dig in. The meat is thin, so don't expect too much, but it's nice to be able to eat a whole steak. The texture is a bit tough. I thought it would be better if there was a bit more sauce to blend with the rice. At 1000 yen, I would have been like "hmm...", but at 500 yen, it feels like a good deal. However, compared to chain gyudon (beef bowl), I think gyudon is tastier. It comes with a salad and a mini Okinawan soba. They seem to have different services for each day of the week, not just on Mondays. Thank you for the meal.

First of all, I would like to report that the salted pork was really delicious. I remember that the fried grouper was also tasty when I came before. The somin champuru, which was like a tuna and somen pasta, was a bit different from my preference. Next time, I will try the huchampuru. They also have oden with salted pork and tebichi. This time, I was satisfied with steak and salted pork, so I'll save oden for next time. If you enter normally, order normally, and drink normally, it will probably cost around 4,000 to 5,000 yen per person. I learned that there are various cost-effective systems available. Next time, I will study properly and try to drink cost-effectively. By doing so, I might be able to keep it in the 3,000 yen range. Here are some things I learned: 1) The reason why the evaluation did not improve this time is because the amount of 500 yen awamori was small, making the cost performance low. However, this can be solved by adding a drink all-you-can for 1,500 yen using a Tabelog coupon. 2) There are services available for each day of the week. Monday - Double the amount of steak Tuesday - All types of oden for 99 yen Wednesday - Discount on all-you-can-drink (1,800 yen → 1,500 yen) Thursday - I forgot Friday - I forgot 3) There is a 25% off Tabelog Premium coupon for the bill. If I were to choose a specific day, I would go for Tuesday as it seems like a good day to enjoy the drinks. Although Monday was indeed enjoyable with the overflowing steak, the little bit of oden I had was also delicious. It's quite nice to be able to find ways to drink cheaply and deliciously. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant alone around 12:30 on a regular day. The shop is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a building, with a slightly narrow interior. The decor had a Okinawan vibe, and for some reason, oldies music was playing in the background - think Pocket Biscuits, CHARA, Britney Spears... The dish I had was the Pork Bone Mixed Soba, topped with pork belly and cartilage soki in a bonito broth. The red pickled ginger added a nice touch. The soba alone had a good amount of volume, but you could also add rice, making it quite filling. I enjoyed it by mixing it into the soup.

I didn't particularly want to eat Okinawan cuisine, and I didn't have any specific purpose, but I happened to see this place and decided to go in. I sat at the cozy counter and enjoyed an Orion beer. The staff was friendly and easy to talk to, so I ended up chatting about memories of Okinawa. Even though I wasn't very hungry, I ended up eating quite a bit. It was my first time trying Okinawan oden, and it was delicious. I learned that not all champuru dishes have bitter melon in them, and I love mozuku. If I start missing Okinawa, I'll definitely visit this place again!

The private room was too small for 11 people, so some of us had to sit outside. We didn't receive any notification about the cramped space. The food was okay, not bad. There were many options for all-you-can-drink, but I felt like they didn't have enough ice for the awamori on the rocks.

Today's recommended dish is the Chicken and Island Tofu Kimchi Stew set meal. On Fridays, you can enjoy a 50 yen discount, making it 800 yen. The mini Okinawan soba side dish is perfect for the rainy season when it gets a little chilly.

On weekdays, there is a different lunch special each day, and on Mondays, you can get a sirloin steak bowl for only 500 yen! It comes with a spring salad and a mini Okinawa soba, so it's quite filling. The meat is seared and has a delicious smoky flavor, but it's also tender. Mondays are highly recommended! I'll definitely be visiting again on other days as well. (I'll try to upload photos later since I can't do it for some reason! LOL)
