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 didn't know Okinawa was an island, learnt something today 👍

[@FlavorofMind]

Mark keeps crushing it, and I keep noticing how much more cinematic these episodes have been getting lately... Totally love the urban/neighborhood shots and feel that give this video some extra life! Awesome.

[@nigelkhan9278]

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.

My family has been living in Okinawa for about a year and we have 2 more years left (Military Family). I can tell this! Mark's video hit the nail on the head! Great job!

[@vwbikke263]

I'm Okinawan! You got a gooood choice!

[@YASTravelsEatsWell]

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!

[@joker-jv4wj]

okinawa is part of china

[@kollin1023]

I’m from Okinawa ! Happy to see this video! You should Try a place that calls “Dragon” resident people loves this place! They have a Large meals I recommend Gyoza set (side fried rice is amazing) and Sweet and sour chilli fried shrimp it comes with bunch of sids

[@TheBestFoodieShow]

The fact that we get free food & travel videos on KZbin by Mark is truly a gift. 👍

[@FlavorofMind]

My lord, that miso soup with the grilled rice ball and freshly shaved Bonito 😮 That is an express ticket to heaven right there! I think I just teared up 😂

The tofu soup did the justice for me. I love the Korean version more due to the spiciness incorporated.

[@FlavorofMind]

@Chuck Tz1983 I can relate to the Korean preference 😅 spice adds that special somethin'...

to everyone, pls keep pushing in life and never give up. can't wait to see you successful one day and May God Bless You! 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@AseemaAjay]

I must commend you Mark. I have never heard someone speak so fluently about food. You always have the right words and you seem to improve your vocabulary with every video. I particularly enjoyed this video because of how you described each taste experience, felt like I was tasting the food with you. Thank you 🙌🏾

[@user-vm2bg7xc4k]

[@selinaBARMAR2565]

Okinawa! My son spent about two years there. I love the idea of such diversity with miso soup. I have always enjoyed miso.

[@score2high]

Mahalo for explaining the difference between mainland Japan and Okinawan food. People don't realize that Okinawa was once it's own country with their own language, too. BTW, you must have been influenced by your mother and/or grandmother by calling it shave ice!

[@faustinalin]

How can you maintaining so slim while eating non stop 😂😂😂，now you make me want to go to Okinawa ! Thanks for sharing.

[@hollysweetland297]

This sounds cruel, but if he were my husband I would worry about worms etc from all the street cauldrons of boiling intestines in dirty rooms with no running water

[@MovementElements]

Visited Meguro Miso today. Delicious, thanks!!

[@TheChosenRed]

Japanese food is so unique and delicious with the majority of locals so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return. Another awesome upload Mark 🤤🙌🏽

[@MYSTERYMAN9933]

I agree with you.

[@christal.haitai]

That is awesome you came here! I am the only KZbinr in Okinawa when it comes to all things 'Longevity Island'. Did you know its the land of immortals? And their food is a partial reason as to why! (but not the only reason). I wish I could have shown you my favorite traditional Okinawan food spots!

[@davidbain3098]

I've watched you for some time now and it is impressive that you make sure that you take your family with you where ever you travel to.

[@raymalinowski3306]

Great to see you come visit Okinawa. I have been here for over 19 years, awesome place!

[@christinestclair3131]

I have been waiting for you to visit Okinawa! So excited to see the foods I grew up eating.

[@AussieAngeS]

So awesome Mark! What a great experience foe you, the ramen with that clear broth looked like heaven in a plate.

[@chucktz469]

Incredible! Wow the tofu from Japan is so buttery & delightful it literally just melts in your mouth instantly when consuming. I has been fortunate to experience the Korean version as well and find it more of my liking because of the spicy kick it contains each bite. Either one is desirable & satisfying. Thanks again & again Mark for the great substance you never tend to miss provide us foodies. 🍜🍚🍸 Cheers!

[@Romafood]

Bravo Mark

[@carrerlluna66]

I really enjoyed this video. Great choices. More Japan please!

[@anthonyboey3210]

This video is awesome. The miso soup look so good, and the charred crispy rice ball looks really delicious. Great for a light snack in the afternoon or even as a supper meal if you want to go light on the food.

[@val943]

Love your content Mark! It's cheerful and we always want to come back to your channel to see more :) No idea how you manage to keep doing those videos with only your wife filming or you filming yourself! Respect!!

Dude, everyone from mainland Japan and foreigners visiting Okinawa that you got to have Taco Rice! The place to have it is Charlies Tacos since like 1956 , plus their tacos are unique and delicious. Lived previously on Okinawa a total of 9.5 years. May be heading there for a visit in June

The centaurian study found that the diet high in fish (omega-3), vegetables, and rice were beneficial, but it the social factor of community support and friendships within, helped keep people happy and healthy into their twilight years

I can see Yuji is a hipster and the miso soup place takes the cake of the hipster kingdom. I loved when you two bit into Yakionigiri, both of you made a noise only when people eat something so good yet simple.
