Oysters in season!! Ajillo!!

The oyster season is hitting Okinawa now! Who should we go to see first to cook the oysters for us, but Kato-san? We are here at Kato Shokudou.   Oysters in Ajillo. Usually they cook with oysters with potatoes which would be so delicious by absorbing the flavor from oysters.  But we ordered some other things that come with potatoes, so Kato-san did us a favor to change it to snap peas and okura.   Perfectly cooked with right temperature.  So tasty. This is from Hiroshima.  The most famous place for Japanese oysters.   It comes with baguette. The olive oil carries so much flavor of oysters and we love dunking pieces of bread into […]

The Day’s Specials at Kato-san

Kato Shokudo is our favorite place. We wanted to go to Aroma Onsen in Ginowan to warm up our bodies.  Kato Shokudo happens to be near… Well, we could use any excuses to come here.   Chicken liver mousse and pork patty.  We just can’t miss it.  So tasty, so creamy.  No edgy scent.   We can’t miss this one either.  We don’t know why, but we just can’t get enough of these fries here.  We don’t know what.  We think they put in something addictive.  (just kidding)  It’s just so good.   We decided to go for the day’s specials today. The first to come was this.  Grilled fig with […]

The sausage and shrimps

We went out with Yuyu’s parents who were visiting the island. Her father’s call, “Let’s go to see Kato.”  He loves the sausages here.  Her mother wanted some seafood.   2 cheeses of our choice.   Our usual.  Chicken liver mousse and pork pate. Liver is fresh, no bloody smell, seasoned with nice flavorful liquor.  Pork pate has been matured, very tasty.   This is our usual too.  The best French Fries in our standards!!!   Roasted onion Pie.  Soooo sweet and tasty.   Soup de Poisson.  Beautiful broth with shrimps, fish, veggies   Yummm…  so rich, so good.   3 housemade sausages.  Original (meaty), herb, spicy.  I love the herb one the best.   Grilled […]

Steak in the perfect state of “rose”

We found ourselves sitting at Kato Shokudou again.   A clean, organized stock room.  A proof of good restaurant.   Today we are here to eat the steak.  With green pepper sauce. You have a choice between red wine sauce and green pepper sauce.  We always have it with green pepper sauce. Angus rib-eye steak, grilled in perfect temperature control.   Beautiful state of “rose”. Tender, juicy, and sooooo tasty.   Mild French mustard goes very well with the steak too.   She’s got that face that speaks.   The housemade caramel ice cream and mongo sorbet. You should really take both.   They are good each.  But try them […]
