Ishigaki Hidden Gems

Daimo Restaurant in Ishigaki Town
Our guest house recommended two places to eat in Ishigaki town. We asked for a ramen shop when we returned from Yonaguni,  and the owner lady sent us to a little restaurant called Daimo (die-moh), one block away.
It was so good,  we ate there every evening,  4 days in a row. We tried their pork ramen, miso ramen,  pork & vegetable ramen, as well as gyoza (gyoh-za) or potstickers as we call them.
We also learned what "cha-han" means on a menu - delicious fried rice. There were even more things I would have loved to try.
Daimo is a tiny hole in the wall, but every night it filled up with locals. I don't think any other tourists, Japanese included, ever found it.
Another gem was a small Indian curry place, about 10 blocks from our guest house.  Also fantastic food - lovely large naan bread and butter chicken.  Yum!
