Sata Andagi from Matsuhara Confectionery

Sata Andagi, a flour and egg-based, sweet doughy and deep-fried confection. In the past, this tasty treat was once a homemade staple of Okinawan homes. Crunchy exterior meets moist, fluffy interior. Sinking your teeth into each bouncy bite is a top-notch experience. Unlike donuts, the batter is made without any milk or water, but with plenty of eggs. It’s then deep-fried at a relatively low heat, so that it cooks through to the middle and enjoys a longer shelf=life of up to one week.

Just steps from Makishi Public Market you'll find Shintenchi Ichiban Hondori Shotengai, home a wide lineup of different shops.
