Time for Curry!

Coco Ichibanya is an extremely popular national Japanese curry house that is luckily located here on Okinawa. There are nearly 1,000 locations throughout Japan. For many military members arriving here on Okinawa; it is usually the first taste of Japanese cuisine you will experience. If you enjoy curry, then you will really enjoy Coco Ichibanya. What may surprise you at first is the somewhat sweet taste. See, Japanese style curry is more sweet, unlike the spiciness of an Indian curry.  Their motto is

“Good smell, Good curry”

They don’t lie, you can smell the curry from outside the parking lot and also as you pass by in your vehicle. But, what I really like about Coco’s are their portion sizes. It is plenty enough to fill even the largest belly. Their menu has many different choices of curry and toppings to satisfy almost anyone. You also have to option to choose the amount of rice ranging from 200g to what is only a myth at this point…The 1500g challenge.

How to order:

Ordering can be somewhat tricky for the novice Coco’s adventurer. So, I have listed a detailed step by step guide that MUST be followed to eat there.

1. Look for a little plastic button on your table somewhere.
2. Press the magic button when you are ready…Don’t worry, you are ready!
3. The all too polite staff will come running over to your booth/table.
4. Point to the pictures on your menu and wait for greatness to arrive.

I am really glad we got through that together.

First Times are always awkward

Well, it has finally happened. For some reason my buddy Tommboy thought that it would be a good idea to get me started with a blog, wow was he wrong! The good thing is that he actually hooked me up with everything that I needed, including a web server and hosting capabilities.

So, check out his website and let him know how awesome he is. He has some really great tech walkthroughs and can probably answer most of your computer related questions. Unfortunately for everyone else in this world, you are stuck having to read what is going down in my noggin. So, this is my first time…remember to be gentle and kind everyone.�
