Jahana Kippan

Jahana Kippan is a Japanese confectionery in Naha that makes kippan and candied winter melon in a tradition dating to the Ryukyu Kingdom era. It sits one lane off Kokusai Street, and the kippan is a sugar-coated sweet with a crisp outside and juicy inside while the candied winter melon is served with tea or awamori. Production is limited, so stock can be checked by phone and reserved from a single piece, and English service and card payment are available. Even arriving at opening can mean a wait, and items can sell out.
