NAHA, OKINAWA - Okinawa is an island in southern Japan, yet its culture and food are vastly different from what you typically think of as Japanese. Today I’m hanging out with my friend Yuji-San and we’re going to take you on an ultimate Okinawan food tour!
Thanks to my friend Yuji-San for taking me about Naha: / hotel_manager_jt
1. MEGURO miso soup stand: goo.gl/maps/rGGLu9RtcAL23eHo9 - We started off for the greatest ever rice ball and craft miso soup. It was a totally new experience and appreciation for miso soup.
Total price - 2,800 JPY
2. Tofu Soba at Takaesu Soba: goo.gl/maps/mD4vzTqqHxaJdCSL8 - In Okinawa, soba is totally different from the buckwheat noodles you get in other parts of Japan. Okinawan soba is something nearly everyone eats for lunch and it’s more similar to ramen with wheat noodles and pork ribs. We went to this special place for their tofu soba.
Total price - 2,770 JPY
3. Ice snow cones at Fujiya Tomari: goo.gl/maps/Q8SF83Vjq6FoUUwH9 - Another thing you have to try in Okinawa is their snow cones.
Price - 1,350 JPY for everything
4. Okinawan Izakaya at Urizun: goo.gl/maps/iwbuKjfUUG1yxNNK7 - In order get a taste of traditional Okinawan food, we went to Urizun. Again, dishes were totally different from anywhere else I’ve bee.
Price - 9,353 JPY for everything
5. Goat Sashimi at Nijuban (20th) Goat Restaurant: goo.gl/maps/UwNcUyueA6eVYKBw7 - Finally there was one meal I was not going to leave Okinawa without trying - goat sashimi!
Price - 3,400 JPY for everything
Okinawa is a wonderful island to visit with a truly unique food culture. Thank you for watching this Okinawan food tour!

I have to return to Okinawa. My favorite duty stationed while I was in the Marine Corps. MCAS Futenma HQHQ, there was a small restaurant just down the hill from MCAS Futenma that had the best Shoba noddles and chicken teriyaki. Shakeys Pizza, Taco rice, Goya Champuru, Teppanyyaki Kobe, Habu Pit and Chicken and Papa. Marc enjoy your Okinawa journey, it is life changing. The Okinawian people are so friendly and kind. They have the best diet in the world and the most people over the age of 100.

For a small island, Okinawa has a huge amount of interesting dishes. To have a guide is essential! Your stop at the market & the fish lunch on another video was fantastic. This day you certainly visited some other super foodie stops, not the least were the Izikaya & the goat restaurant. Great short tour of Okinawa, Mark. I'm so impressed with Micah, who occupies himself with games & drawing while your wife is filming! He also enjoys some of the food , I guess. You're raising him right!
