Paikaji Deigo Bettei

**Overview** At Paikaji Deigo Bettei in Onna, order the charcoal-grilled agū pork and a plate of goya champuru to share. The first lets the grill do most of the work. The second brings bitter melon to the table in a form familiar from Okinawan home cooking. The kitchen also grills fish and seasonal vegetables, so a group can order around what people want to eat. The operator schedules three live Okinawan folk performances each evening. A dinner timed for one set gives you room to hear the sanshin without building the whole night around a show. **Key metrics** - Live sets each evening: 3 - First folk set: 19:00 - Agū charcoal steak: ¥1,738 - Goya champuru: ¥1,188 **Pros** - A shared table can try grilled fish, pork and vegetable dishes. - Published performance times make it easy to choose a seating. - The operator offers transport from some nearby hotels. **Cons** - The restaurant opens for dinner only. - There is no on-site parking. - The published set courses start at ¥5,500. **Best for** Pick this for an Onna dinner when the group wants several Okinawan preparations and time to hear live music. **Things to watch out for** Map the Fuchaku branch specifically.
