Yes, food is significantly cheaper here. Especially meat and fish, but
produce and dairy as well. The only thing that is not much cheaper, and may
even be more expensive, is rice.

Of course rent/land prices are a lot cheaper, up to a point. Prime property
will still cost quite a bit, since all those rich Tokyo slobs like to buy
their little bessou's here in Okinawa.
