-What kind of place is Ishigaki Island? ~

The distance from Taiwan is about 270km, so Taiwan is much closer than Naha in Okinawa! is.
Large ferry for sightseeing also comes from Taiwan
The average annual temperature is 24 to 25 degrees Celsius, which is a "tropical country" as you can imagine.
~ What to bring ~
In addition to sunglasses and sunscreen, what to bring
It's often windy and rainy, so it's safer to bring a haori coat or rain gear.
~ Access ~
Access is by direct flights from each airport or transfer at Naha Airport.
It takes about 3 hours by direct flight from Haneda Airport and about 1 hour from Naha Airport.
We take a direct flight from Haneda to Ishigaki Island.
And we arrived at "Painushima Ishigaki Airport"!
～ Transfer from the airport ～

~ Day 1: Lunch "Dining English (Hanabusa)" ~
I've arrived!
And this is the Production Technology Research Institute in Ishigaki, Euglena.
Click here for lunch today ...
Instead, it is "Dining English (Hanabusa)", a shop near the Production Technology Research Institute.
This is a restaurant like a hideaway in a residential area called Shiraho.
Atmosphere as if you came to a luxury spa resort.
When I enter the store with a little nervousness, where does that tension go?
The friendly staff welcomed us.
Here, we kneaded green juice into homemade noodles
You can eat "Yaeyama soba" using the special "green noodles".
In the Yaeyama region where Ishigaki Island is located, Okinawa soba is called "Yaeyama soba".
This time with "Yaeyama soba" (700 yen)
I ordered the "cold noodle set" (1300 yen) recommended by the shop.
While you wait, take a break with a cup of tea while looking at the lovely garden.
The fresh green will heal the tiredness of the plane.
The "green noodles" that came!
In addition to green onion ginger, the condiments are longevity grass, a plant of the Umbelliferae family.
Ryukyu mugwort (Foochi bar), shredded purple-colored handama plant
The green noodles are cool to the eyes!
The noodles have a beautiful color like jade.
Good smell of soup stock.
From Yaeyama soba, "Taborunyu (I'll have it)!"
The soup is soup stock and is transparent even though it is rich.
The delicious soup goes well with the slightly thick, chewy and smooth noodles.
Yaeyama soba eaten at the cafeteria in the town is also delicious,
Yaeyama soba from "Dining English" has no oiliness or miscellaneous taste in the soup.
It's delicious enough to drink everything (I actually drank it).
By the way, I will also have cold noodles.
The same chewy noodles as Yaeyama soba.
The noodles are delicious even if you eat them without adding anything.
The soup has a fluffy ethnic taste, and there is no doubt that the food will go on even if it is hot.
When I asked him what he was using, he said he was using black vinegar.
This flower that gives the cold noodles a refreshing feeling is "Batapy".
And after the meal, I had a very cute butapy herbal tea.
Beautiful blue!
I thought, but the staff recommended me to add lemon juice ...
(Hereafter, spoilers)
To purple!
It is an herbal tea that refreshes the mouth after eating.
It was a wonderful production, and at the end I got excited again.
Raising the tension of women ↑↑ It is a restaurant full of points
By all means with your family!
Chairs for children are also available.

～ Go to Kabira Bay ♪ ～
After having a nice lunch slowly, I still want to see the sea!
Kabira Bay is famous for Ishigaki Island.
From the Shiraho area where "Dining English" is located, it is just a 30-minute drive to Kabira Bay on the other side of the island.
Before going to Kabira Bay
Just a little notice the entrance to the bay.
Euglena vending machine installed.
If you're hot and a little sick, take this cold Euglena drink for a nutritional charge!
It was a little cloudy when I arrived at Kabira Bay, but it's still beautiful!
The sea is transparent.
Kabira Bay has a very beautiful view
It is also recommended to enjoy a beautiful underwater walk on a glass-bottom boat with a glass bottom.

~ Day 1: Snack "Ishigakijima Cold Confectionery" ~
Rest a little in Kabira Bay,
We will move to the city area for a snack that is perfect for the hot Ishigaki Island.
It takes about 30 minutes by car from Kabira Bay to the city center of Ishigaki Island.
I decided to take a walk around Euglena Mall before the snack.
Euglena Mall
In addition to souvenir shops, it is a shopping district that also houses the public market of Ishigaki City.
While wearing a souvenir star to buy and return, hang out.
When you come on a trip, look at the shopping streets and markets,
It's fun to get a glimpse of the food culture unique to that area.
Euglena Mall, you can find something unique to Ishigaki.

Let's go eat the snack we are looking for.
Today's snack is
"Ishigakijima Cold Confectionery" is about a 3-minute walk from Euglena
It is a shaved ice shop loved by the locals.
The recommendation is "Euglena Matcha-style Zenzai".
(Of course) Euglena Matcha-style Zenzai (500 yen).
The beans are at the bottom
Kinako "Euglena Green Juice" Shaved ice topped with powder.
You may have seen "Euglena Kinako Twist" at the store, but Kinako "Green Juice" goes well with it.
The special honey melts in your mouth with ice, kinako, and "green juice" and is delicious!
This ice doesn't make your head keen even if it's big.
In addition, this "Ishigakijima cold confectionery", ice is not scraped while the sun is rising,
While the sun is setting, scrape everything, pack it and let it sit for 3 days.
Therefore, depending on the day, the ice often runs out and is sold out.
And, it is said that the mixed gram of ice, beans, and honey is decided exactly according to the exact size.
Simple and gentle sweetness, but sophisticated
The deliciousness of the shaved ice of Ishigakijima Cold Confectionery was carefully made with great effort.
If you go to Ishigaki, you must eat it.
