Our new home-away-from-home is Yonaguni Dive Shop (YDS) on Yonaguni Island, the most western-point in Japan (and a hop skip and a jump to Taiwan). YDS has a nice guest house attached to the dive shop, so you can dive, sleep, eat, and collapse in the same location. Prices include breakfast and dinner, while lunch is included if you go on a dive.
Dinner last night was great. I was so tired, and it was super tasty and just what the doctor ordered. The main plate was ginger chicken with a great sauce. The other dishes included a cucumber & corn salad, sweet potato chips (very small - the dark purple things), bean sprout & tuna salad, miso soup, and of course, rice.
The bottle to the right of Devlin in the picture is Aomori (ah-oh-more-ee), an Okinawa rice vodka. It's quite tasty on its own, and the tradition is to put a couple big chunks of ice in your glass, and pour the Aomori over it. Joe likes to drink it mixed with orange juice or grapefruit juice, which makes it dangerously easy to drink. I only had a bit last night, but it's really cheap here compared to anything else - the bottle in the picture was about $5.50!
I'm looking forward to our lunch after this morning's dive, and then to dinner tonight... yum!
