The Rose Garden | Okinawa, Japan

1 Nov

The Rose Garden | Okinawa, Japan I like to think that in my two years of living on Okinawa I have ventured around and seen tons of what Okinawa has to offer. I suppose my restaurant/culinary skills are lacking because I was completely unaware that a great little Italian restaurant was right down the road.

It was not until after posting a question in a Okinawa hai forum about favorite restaurants that I soon realized about the Rose Garden restaurant and their wonderful breakfast.

We strolled into the busy Rose Garden parking lot at around 9:45 a.m. hoping to get a one of a kind breakfast experience that everyone else raved about.

The first thing I noticed when we walked inside was the hometown diner feel that it gave off. Being from a small town, I really like the small diner/rustic atmosphere it oozed.

Their menu has plenty of great dishes that are all offered at reasonable prices. I personally decided to with the rib-eye steak and eggs breakfast that was about ¥1400. The Rose Garden | Okinawa, Japan The steak was cooked perfect and so were the eggs. I usually don’t order steak for breakfast, but this selection really delivered. I would even say that it offered enough food for even a "hungry man". My wife and Ashley decided on french toast, bacon, eggs, and home fries meal which was around ¥900. The bacon looked like enormous slabs on meat ready to be eaten by an entire army. Ashely thought her french toast was a little more on the toasty side. But I think she still ate it all!

The Rose Garden | Okinawa, Japan What I really enjoyed most about the Rose Garden was their coffee and the freshness of everything served on the plate. I believe their coffee is made from %100 arabica coffee beans. I am not a fancy coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed their coffee a lot.

We were almost out the door when the ladies noticed different jams and spreads being sold next to the register. The cashier said they were imported from Denmark or Holland. I hope they taste as good as they look.

I really looked forward to going back to the Rose Garden and trying one of their omelets. I noticed one as we were leaving and it looked mammoth.

If you live near Foster/Kadena and are looking for a new spot to try out, check out The Rose Garden restaurant.

      Lived there 6 years ago and still talk about the Orange Sea Bass that I use to get every week at the Rose Garden, does anyone know the recipe? ha ha …. I miss it so much!
      The waitress knew us by name (even though she said it wrong)….we just loved going there. Miss it miss it miss it.
