Cheese in Okinawa?

[ryan1517]

I am new to Okinawa and am a huge fan of imported cheese. Does anyone know of a cheese import shop in Okinawa? Also, is Okinawa or Japan known for any type of cheese?

[macker]

No.. But Okinawa is infamous for it's WHine.....

[JosefK]

welcome to the cheese wilderness. Cheese is not well liked by most Japanese and consequently all you'll find is bland processed stuff. There are a couple of places that sell a very limted range of imported cheese but it is insanely expensive. You are in Ginowan - Try Jimmy's on R58, the big SAN A supermarket on the Conventon Center bypass has a small selection - used to be better when it opened but I guess no one was buying it. If you have base access that'l be a better bet of getting cheese with any flavor at a reasonable price. There is a place in the Plaza house shopping mall in Okinawa City that may have some too.

Better off buyng yourself a cow or goat and doing it yourself...:crying:

[vvloc]

ALL of the A-Plus retaurant supply stores carry at least a 1/2 dozen to a dozen varieties of foreign cheeses.

Downstairs at Palette Kumoji are even more (Be prepared to pay through the nose). Downstairs at Mitsugoshi, the same.

[thistle]

Jimmy's has only bland processed cheese, and the place at Plaza House has now changed to Kanehide.

If you can shop on base and get cheese you are lucky, will you take me sometime:)

There are really not many places to find good cheese which are not ridiculously expensive and it has recently gone up. You can get some in big San-a's or the A-price but certainly not gourmet cheeses.
Just some australian cheddar and some local camembert.

[Jazz]

I want some Buffalo Moozzarell from Vesuvio :)

[vvloc]

Thistle, obviously, you've not been to A-Price recently (at least not the ones in Naha and Urasoe) - they have a whole slew of imported cheeses (Belgian, Swedish, German, Iralian. etc.) now - I go EVERY weekend to both places.

[vvloc]

and really good baseball sized mozzarellas - also a new blue (bottle of cubes in Olive oil) from Denmark

Didn't Eel post some link to some online cheese shopping website once?

I love cheese. I hate that good cheese is so hard to get here. I love cheese, but it's not worth driving down to Naha to get (or paying out the nose)...

Yeah, FBC (http://www.fbcusa.com/eng/ - just type "cheese" into the search box), and Costco (http://www.theflyingpig.com/tfp/List.asp?WCI=List&SS=cheese&LN=1&SC=173&sid=45937A5D4FF6F24B1CF4). Not cheap, shipping required, and selection can leave something to be desired. But better than life with no cheese.

Is A-Price the same as A-Coop? If not, where in Naha are they?

[OCanadaOurHomeAndNativeLand]

I think it's "A-Price Co-op"...one and the same. VV?

[socalheart]

Are y'all referring to the "apple" co-op?

If not, please provide good directions and/or map to this cheese selling haven. Thank you.

P.S. We need to create a Cheese Fan Club group here... :p

Perhaps "strangely" or not...I LOVE the Kraft Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese right outta the commissary. My oldest daughter and her family in Wisconsin love Bleu Cheese.

Cheese with everything...eggs (scrambled eggs 'n cheese, OR a good cheddar omlet, w/or w/o other ingredients), sandwiches (meat, no meat, toasted, or grilled), on crackers (toasted or not). It's just a really versatile food. Even cheese with OUT ANYTHING. Yummmmmmmmmmy cheddar.

Yes, I agree cheese is wonderful. However, I am not having a great deal of trouble finding Kraft Extra Sharp Cheddar or even the Kraft Singles. I would love to get some directions to the, "Cheese Haven" mentioned in other posts.

[vvloc]

Is A-Price the same as A-Coop? If not, where in Naha are they?

A-Price is the restaurant supply places. The one in Naha is on 329 about a kilometer before the bus station and the intersection with RT 58.

The one at the Urasoe/Naha borderline is on RT58 about 2 kilometers before the Pizza House as you are heading out of town. If you make a u-turn shortly before the PizzaHouse (old american consulate) - (the base will be alongside you on the left before you u-turn), I think it is right after the Toys R Us/Kids R Us intersection and it is ON 58.

If my directions are unclear, please ask me again, and I'll try to clarify.

Ahhhh, so! I have seen that one near Urasoe when I was looking for the Bridgestone bike store in the wrong place!

And Now You Know!:barf:

[vvloc]

Yes, there is a Bridgestone store near there - You would like this place a lot - as they sell industrial size quantities, there are some real bargains to be had.

Also, many items not commonly found elsewhere.

Large supply of whiskies and other alcoholic beverages - NOTHING special about the beer varieties, though.

[socalheart]

So, it's between San-ei and Pizza House on Hwy 58 near the Bridgestone place on the Kinser side of the highway? Hmm, this calls for an afternoon excursion next week... maybe. o.O

[DoctorP]

The Mitsukoshi in Naha had a good selection last time I was there...but they were also having their annual wine festival. Maybe they only beef up the selection then?

[vvloc]

Opposite side from Kinser, SocalHeart. Anout 2 km from the Pizza House heading into Naha

[Sex Wax]

Guess what.....I just cut the cheese....HA HA HA HA

Mitsukoshi and Palette Kumoji Ryubo are almost always good albeit a bit pricey. I'm a cheese nut, as well as just an all around nut in general.

C'mon tell the truth - couldn't ya' tell early on???

Kinda' thought so! Hard to hide that stuff from a doctor.

[Jazz]

Bleu cheese stuffed olives in a dirty Martini is great! I'm over due for a bottle of Vodka or Gin........

No, only the one near Tsutaya in Yamauchi, Okinawa city and that was a good 10 months or so ago.
If the prices are reasonable I will go there next time and check it out. I once bought some frozen pizzas there and was outraged at the price, but i liked their nan bread, which was I think my reason for going there.

[vvloc]

The prices are only so/so, ans yes, the frozen naan and mexican breads are good

[vvloc]

OK, the 1ST place to start is the map (bigm, you might wish to check out the western style menu - portions won't be enough for ya' but tastes will be familiar):

http://pizza-house.jp/

If ya' head toward Naha as shown on the map, exactly 2 km. later, you'll come to a big Toys/Kids R US sign at an intersection. Right after the intersection you'll see "EagleII" pachinko and a large Mazda dealership on the other side of 58. The dealership is located right at the edge of Camp Kinser. You will now be directly in front of a large green and red sign which says in English "A-Price."

In addition to an assortment of large sized processed cheeses, a variety of imported fruit flavored cream cheeses, some processed smoked cheese, and sour cream, today's offering included:

New Zealand gouda - 340¥/140 gm.
Rosenberg bottled Danish blue cheese in olive oil 830¥/ 150 gm cheese: 300 gm. total
Arla Apetina bottled feta cheese in olive oil 920¥/150 gm cheese: 300 gm. total
Gerard French camembert (sp.?) 620¥/125 gm.
Gerard French fromage rouge 650¥/125 gm.
Gerard French fromage blue 660¥/125 gm.
Arba Danish blue 380¥/100 gm.
Rosenberg Danish blue 380¥/100 gm.
Mycella Italian HARD parmagiano reggino 1,300¥/160 gm.
Rollo soft Danish mozzarella 4,150¥/2.3kg.
Frico Hollanders edam 3,540¥/1086 gm.
Moringa soft mozzarella (baseball sized ball packed in water) 350¥/100 gm. (they usually used to have an Italian similar item slightly more expensive)

They frequently used to carry large tubs of nascarpone cheese imported from somewhere in Europe which was somewhat expensive.

Additionally, they carry many kinds of large bags of shredded cheeses/cheese prodicts which are presumably used for pizza.

PS - I'm sure I missed some, but the wife and I were rushing (because of the heat) to get home to watch some foreign language films I downloaded from MiniNova

Good luck and good eating!

[socalheart]

I've been in the mood for a nice brie.

Didn't one of you folks say there's an A-Price across from the Sakumoto across from Kadena gate 5? I think thistle mentioned a yamauchi branch. Any specifics? or just look for it across from Sakumoto? :p

[Jazz]

I believe I've seen an A-Price in that area, down the side street across from gate 5. I believe it's the same street where the Mr. Donut is and maybe a Big One. I could be wrong, it's been a while.

[Isaak Brodsky]

There's a really, really, really bad-ass bakery in Shuri called Picaro Mundo (sp.). Besides bread and pasteries, on par with ambrosia, they import excellent cheeses at fair prices.

[OCanadaOurHomeAndNativeLand]

Gonna need direction on that "stat", Ian!

[Isaak Brodsky]

If you're driving on that road that takes you from Nishihara and directly past AMC hospital (on your left), you'll end up in Shuri.

Just before you get to that massive intersection fairly close to the final stop on the monorail, you will notice the bakery on the left side of the street. The bakery is about fifty to one-hundred meters before that road meets the massive intersection.

We live in Ginowan and visit the bakery fairly rountinely. It's worth the trip.

[vvloc]

That IS the one, Ian - thanks for improving my lame directions

[Isaak Brodsky]

quick note, too, on another bad-ass bakery in okinawa city / awase. anyone heard of marco polo? they built a massive stone oven and then build the bakery around it. they really pump out the dough too. i'll try to get the exact location for ya'll.

[Isaak Brodsky]

That IS the one, Ian - thanks for improving my lame directions

cheers. so, it's route 29 - eh?

[Isaak Brodsky]

sorry, but since we're on the topic of cheese and bread, i think it's only fitting that we also briefly mention wine.

there's a really nice wine cellar right on 58 after the second fly-over, just before you reach lawson near shintoshin. cave de chinen has an eye-popping collection of wines from all over the planet. the most impressive collection i've ever seen, yo.

their wines are extremely reasonably priced, and easily rival what's on offer in the package store / class 6 on base. if you join up with them for a thousand yen, you get access to their stock. wow.

[Isaak Brodsky]

Marco Polo link, yo

A really good bakery/restaurant, the sit-down menu includes pizzas, pasta and fresh sandwiches. It also has a great selection of breads, pasteries and cakes to take-away. It's in Awase near a main intersection , if there are no parking spaces out the front, there are more to the rear.

Been there a couple times (it's hard to find - off the beaten track) - the baker there is more than a baker; his baking is art, and he's more than happy to talk breads and show you the ovens he built himself.

[Isaak Brodsky]

... his baking is art ... .

LOL, so true! so true! he bakes a seven or eleven grain bread that is the balls!

I would have a wine & cheese party in the yard....but I dont think that Metal and Punk mix with the atmosphere. Plus, I dont have any "salmon (pink)" colored preppy shirts. So how about a Boones Farm and String Cheese Party?

Your directions are correct ryukychina, just across the road from Mr Donuts!
On the same side of the street as Tsutaya.

[Jazz]

Damn, Ian, THANK YOU! This cheese thread has officially been pimped!

[thistle]

I went to A-price today as I was passing by.

They had a few types of cheese but nothing I could not get at SAN-A at Hamby town, and IMO more expensive!

[vvloc]

You can get these at San-A?

New Zealand gouda - 340¥/140 gm.
Rosenberg bottled Danish blue cheese in olive oil 830¥/ 150 gm cheese: 300 gm. total
Arla Apetina bottled feta cheese in olive oil 920¥/150 gm cheese: 300 gm. total

I don't know about the last four. Sure they wont have those.
The others I will go and check them out for you and compare. I honestly don'T take too much notice, because I only buy cheddar or camembert.

[socalheart]

I finally found the MARCO POLO bakery. :D I'm currently making my way through my purchases there and find it all very tasty so far. I don't know all the names of what I bought, but here we go: sugared donut, chocolate croissant, chocolate covered puffy thing with chocolate inside, danish bread with cream cheese inside, cream puff type thing with chocolate and a choco twist bread. I'll let you know if any of it wasn't tasty, but i don't think it'll come to that. heh.

I know huh?! :p I don't take the Takahara road often though. Even then, I don't pay a lot of attention to the stores while driving. heh. I'm just glad they had a few parking spaces and a little road space to park.

Addendum: The croissant was too flaky for my taste, but the inside was yummy.

All this cheese talk reminds of of one time in 1991 while I was stationed at Howard in Panama. These two hot Panamanian babes followed me home one night from the enlisted club. We partied at the house until the wee hours and after taking care of business, I went to bed. The next morning I was going to make them some breakfast and send them on their way.

As I broke the eggs in the pan and opened the fridge for the cheese, I was shocked to see it was all gone. :scratchchin: I found the wrapper... get this ...for a brand new pack of 72 individual slices of cheese wrappers in the trash!

Those two must have had a cheese fest watching TV all night long! I bet they couldn't chit for a week! :scared: After all these years, my old buddies and I still laugh about this one. :grin1:

The map link is to the prefectural office building itself, so either there is a rest. inside the place with the name Marco Polo, which is possible cant remember the name of the place that is there anymore, or someone is pulling someone's leg here.

Whoever revived this thread - I hate you!
Though the one about the Panama chicks stealing the block of cheese was funny.

I now find myself longing for some cheese and it is almost impossible to find a block of cheese in Okinawa these day, certainly not one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for a little piece of smoked stuff.

The cheese at CoCo's curry is American government cheese, I'm pretty sure.

[Jazz]

Well, I made it to Marco Polo. They (no shit) have loaves of Italian bread worthy of being on a shelf in a PA market. I'm pretty excited that I can now go to Awase once a week and get a loaf of the good stuff. First time and only place I've ever seen this quality here. It was better than a $6 loaf I bought in Chicago from an Italian bakery, and it cost like ¥250

[thistle]

Is that on the R329??

[Jazz]

If you go out Kadena gate 2 and straight across 330, pass the zoo and keep straigt all the way into Awase, youll come up on it on your right.

[thistle]

Finally found the Marco Polo today! Awesome.
You wont keep me away now.

Got directions from a friend.

Here is my directions for the dumb civilian coming from
Ginowan/Urasoe.
Drive up 330 and turn right at the Legion gate, drive down the hill to Toguchi inter. Drive straight for about 5mins till you come to the 2nd SAN-A(clothing store) and turn left
at that traffic signal. Drive past the Max value and Kentucky and when you see a Ryukyu Bank on the left it is next door. Open 8am - 9pm.

Now if anyone could just tell me where to get a decent block of cheese:D

Have you tried any of the local Okinawa Goat Cheese? It's pretty tasty. Similar to Feta.

You can make deep fried Okinawa Goat Cheese and Bacon Spring Rolls. Put a avacado, a couple cloves of garlic, and some soy sauce in a food processor, liquify, and it makes a great dippin' sauce.
Tastes best while the cheese is still nice and hot inside.

Thanks SEXWAX, im not a huge cheese fan, I just really need some good quality Gruyere for one recipe I am craving before the weather warms up.
Those spring (type) rolls look awsome! And the sause sounds gnarly (yes I say gnarly) Im going to have to try it out!

I finally went to the A-Price out Kadena gate 5. Although their cheese selection didn't include brie nor did they have grape seed oil, we'll probably go back for their prepared frozen snackage. We weren't impressed but neither were we terribly disappointed. :)
