Okinawa trip : 7

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

I went on a trip to Okinawa for 2 days and 1 night with my friend,last month.
It was a short trip, but that was a very fulfilling trip.

After watching a beautiful ocean view, we stopped by a hamburger shop.

This is the hamburger shop, "Jef".
Jef is the hamburger chain store which only Okinawa has.

Jef has a system such as the drive-though.

We can order the menu from the parking lot.
The staff brings ordered foods to a car, we pay the price to the staff.
It is convenient that we don't need to get off a car.

This is the hamburger which I ordered.
It  is "Nuyaru burger"
This is an original hamburger by Jef.

This is a hamburger with pork luncheon meat and cheddar cheese and the omelette, the omelet with bitter gourds inside..

The omelet matched cheddar cheese well, the hamburger was delicious!!
I love Okinawa foods.


After that, we finished driving and returned the rental car.
However, we decided to take a walk through downtown because we had time a little more.
