Okinawa

There is a little Okinawa neighbor to my house, named Okinawa Shokudo.

That is a small retailing shop dealing foods in Okinawa. Also, you can enjoy dishes in Okinawa there.

Yesterday, I've been to there and had a dinner there. I ordered one dish named Goya salad, salad with bitter cucumber, I imagined.

And when I saw the salad, I realized that Goya salad just contains Goya. It was not so bitter as I have imagined, and the texture was very fresh and fine! I'd like to know how I can remove the bitterness of the Goya.
