バンタカフェ

A cliff-top cafe for watching the sunset

Hours

10:00 (8:00 on weekends and holidays) to 1 hour after sunset; no regular closing day, may vary

Address

560 Gima, Yomitan, on the coastal cliff

A cafe on a west-coast cliff; 'banta' is Okinawan for cliff. Seating is split into zones and you can walk down to the beach, and it fills up as the sun nears the water. The menu leans on colourful drinks and food you can eat one-handed: bitter-melon pizza toast, pork-and-egg onigiri, shrimp with mango sauce. After sunset the mood shifts again.
