In recent years, the increase of foreign visitors has raised the question of how to best accomodate people with various dietary habits. Even locally, many people are asking for additive-free, organic ingredients, and vegetable-centered healthy food.
Thankfully, Okinawa’s nature provides many kinds of vegetables with high nutritional value, and in Naha, an increasing number of businesses make use of those veggies to offer muslim and/or vegan friendly options.
Here is a list of restaurants, as well as some pieces of information for our fellow travelers with those kinds of specific needs.
