Having Okinawa Tea at Yachimun Dori (Pottery Road)

[@dyanisimon8462]

This is one of my favourite videos!!! Tea, mugs, and everything related to tea bring me so much joy. I have never seen this foamy tea drink before and I'm I trigued. Your new mug is gorgeous!

[@Scriptor13]

If I were in Okinawa, it would be difficult to pry me out of Yachimun Dori! I'm a potter by avocation and I would spend hours taking in all the handcrafted beauty. Your cup is gorgeous. Wonderfully wabi-sabi. Thank you, Shinichi, for another lovely and interesting stroll in Okinawa.

[@brewstergallery]

Yes please, I love seeing the more traditional Japanese tea and food. Lovely ceramics.

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

I love, love, love this video!! Great job, Shinichi!!

[@lorrainethepain]

You're like me. When I go on vacation, I like to shop for souvenirs I can actually use, like one nice piece of one of a kind pottery or something else handmade. That, or local antiques.

[@prasertsriciucevich7967]

Love Okinawa, lived there from 1980-85. Love your channel thank you.

[@thepowerstation2702]

Thank you 🙏 Shinichi for a gorgeous high quality video. I can see every detail. I love ❤️ the sort of brutalist architecture of the pottery museum. ✌️ 💖 🙏 Levent 🦁

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

Shinichi, I am so glad you are traveling in Japan. A pottery museum! I am so glad you are looking for another pot...akin to your blue mug. When I was creating and selling potter, I was grateful to people who love to support those of us who make things by hand. I love how you talk about tea in Okinawa. And you are letting us experience how much fun it is to look at pottery...and look for something that appeals to you!!! People like you, supported me and helped me make a living when I was a potter! YAY!! Shinichi!,

[@エメラルド緑]

沖縄を紹介してくれて本当にありがとうございます😊 絶対にまた遊びに来てください‼️

[@debracantrell1058]

[@jenwatson2623]

Love pottery too ❣ They all are nice , some I would pick over others...but all beautiful.

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

I love your new cup!! I love the rustic feel and the colors...and the feel means so much!!

[@nutcasefruitcake]

Thank you for taking us on your journey, and I'm glad you seemed to have a delightful and relaxing time there!

[@raele2136]

I always try to find some good vlog about daily life in Okinawa but its kinda difficult! I would love to watch more videos like yours. All I could find are videos made by tourists in the same tourist spots :( But what about a simple walk around streets like this one

[@minniec.9127]

In Chinese, the "shishi" are called "foo dogs" and are symbolic guardian lions, usually placed at the gate or front door entrance to protect the home, temple, building structure, etc. Its origin is from China. They come in pairs. One is male and the other is female.

[@ceciveme]

Thank you,I was just thinking to ask.Everyday we learn something new.

[@channelpolitica1364]

The origin is actually from India. The word singha means lion and since these dogs look like Lions they are named that. In most south east asian countries they are still called singha. Singapore also originated from singha (lion) + pura (city) which got modified to Singapore.

[@jujubi1050]

The Bukubuku Tea was very interesting! 泡のついた鼻が可愛かったです！Thank you Shinichi!

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

Historic tea!! Bubbles on your nose! Gen Mai Cha is my all-time favorite tea!!! OOOOOLaLa!!

[@dresk7958]

Your new rustic tea cup is beautiful!

[@Claudi771]

Thanks the tea looks great ❗️I enjoyed the WHOLE video 🥰 Thanks again 😻😊👍

[@Icywaterfall]

I love the cup your okinawan tea came in with the bubbles. 🥰

[@bethannprather1462]

What a beautiful city. I love how clean it is there. You can tell the people living there take pride in their surroundings. You're so lucky! My father was stationed there (Air Force) in the early 90s and he said it was amazing. Thank You for sharing!!

[@PEPLUMTVRETRO]

Thank you! Loved it.

[@carloskidde4776]

I wish we could get tea like that in Arizona lol!

[@davidhyder9609]

We visited this pottery district in Oct 2017 when we stayed in Naha. My first time and it was very nice, but I remember there were about 1,000 more people walking around when we were there. Naha has so many special areas/places that are so interesting to visit besides the usual tourist spots.

[@astroboy3507]

@8:13 That blue colour itself was nice!!!💙

[@pilotgrrl1]

Love your new mug! That blue is so pretty, even though it's not so intense. The buku buku tea looks like it was challenging to drink, sounds like it tasted good.

[@R.Williams]

That was a fun trip! The tea was very interesting. I would probably drink it incorrectly with a straw😅 Do take the pottery class next time. It sounds like fun. We can paint pottery here, then they fire it and you pick it up in a couple of days. We'd take the kids for their birthdays and its great fun though I'm sure not comparable to actually making pottery! Adults enjoyed it just as much and seeing your piece when the colors are set is amazing! Very enjoyable video and thank you!

[@score2high]

Thank you so much for showing the Tsuboya Pottery District. It brought back memories of my trip in 2016 for the Taikai. I was hoping that you would show one of the manhole covers, which I thought was pretty cool. BTW, not sure if you're familiar with 'The Pigs From the Sea" story. After WWII, the Okinawa was devastated and needed assistance in recovering. The Hawaii Okinawan community worked together to bring a bunch of pigs to Okinawa. I'm not sure if a lot of the vegetation was brought on the same boat or not. But my uncle was part of the contingent that brought plants from Hawaii to Okinawa.

[@Shinichisworld]

Thank you for sharing this story.

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I'm now going to look for one of the guardians to put outside my front door, I love that idea of a protector.

[@samanthajohnson3368]

Your new cup is so earthy almost like it was carved from stone and the blues just reminds me of the streams flowing over the stones in the mountains. Amazing price for a one of a kind piece.

[@bettyG101]

Brother, this was a great video! Walking down the residential streets brought back so many memories and yep, the Shi Shi dogs (which is what we grew up calling them) are everywhere, even in our homes...I have 2 of them myself. One of the favorite things about my house is, we have the Okinawan tile roof. One of the must haves for when we bought our home. But seeing all the pottery, the bubble glass, the rock perimeter walls....ahhhhhh! I loved it!!!! Thank you thank you!! Beautiful tea cup too! XOXO

[@andie2809]

I'm so jealous yet thankful that you took us with you on this adventure! 😍😍

[@shuunak5631]

しんいちさん。お元気ですか？しんいちさんが沖縄の那覇の街を歩いている姿を見てとても嬉しく思いました。一緒にお茶したような気分になりましたよ(笑) shuuでした。

[@helvetiqa]

This is one of my dream destinations in Japan--like you I also have a very soft spot for ceramics :) Those walls made of the roof tiles are so unique and interesting.

[@cafezo87934]

I love pottery. I should take pottery classes. handmade DIY is always appreciated

[@angemaidment5640]

Thank you for sharing the Okinawa pottery with us. Pottery reminds me of my mum, and I loved looking at it.

[@cleonwalker1041]

Good video, thanks for the info about the pottery.

[@samanthajohnson3368]

I love decrotive end caps to the rooftiles on the pottery Street. Such a beautiful place.

[@markmorgan2058]

I very been looking forward to this video , the share beauty of this place stunning building and history . The pottery shop is what I want to see .

[@ladymurasaki370]

Loved this video! Thank you for sharing Shinichi! 💜💜💜🤙🏽🌺

[@marksmith9566]

I like rhe design you like and the sun design to the right of it.

[@IndianPolishMix]

love the look of these streets

[@londonpelen9157]

Can't wait for pottery shop too be safe out there.

[@karmesindryade]

Ohh I love your new cup. I collect (and use) Japanese ceramics (tea cups, ramen bowls and other beautiful things) and I totally am in line with your taste. I also adore Japanese laquerware...

[@asialee6326]

..watched again 'coz I missed the first and last bits😊 ..those blue ceramics the foamy tea's cup and the okinawan glass💙👍🏼💙👍🏼💙😍 ..great video thanks for sharing and keep safe🙂

[@nikeeweston]

Ahhhhhh my mum would’ve spent a fortune in this place. She loved Pottery.

[@ramoncgtc]

The places are so beautiful

[@jeywood6532]

I love the architecture here with the earth tones,but which dates or time frame are most of the buildings from?

[@angellover02171]

I hope that you get to see your family in Hawaii soon!!😁

[@PREPFORIT]

Good choice in cups I also prefer handmade one of a kind handcrafts as opposed to one of a thousand cups spit out by a machine. That BukuBuku Tea looks fun to drink with local snack treats.

[@HikaruRain]

I love all the Fuu dogs outside the shops. We had some outside our front doors. But one broke. It must have protected us from evil. It was fine when we went to bed but when we woke up the next morning it was completely broken in two. Dad has yet to find some to replace them.

[@isabellmckay3385]

we love your videos. what was that weird sound at 24:20?

[@catherinebond7474]

When we visited Japan we saw so much pottery that we loved. I wanted to buy things so often, but I worried about how to get it home on the plane. It didn't occur to me until we were home that I could ship things. 😣

[@sentimentalcircuscurator]

That restaurant looks really interesting.

[@TheWalkMinistry]

Hey you came to Honolulu hawaii I think we might have meet. It says three months ago what year did you come?

[@Iliveinamonsterverse]

Looks very Mediterranean

[@CIUCIUNDRE]

I got a few Shisas in this street....

[@johnsymonstcu]

Shinichi, this was a fascinating video with so many interesting scenes. When you were sitting outside having the foamy tea and snacks there was a painting on a wall to your left. (At 22:00)It looked like an animal(cat ?) bending down and there was a caption of writing on the wall. Is it possible for you to tell us what it said? I am so intrigued by it. 🤣Take care and have a pleasant week. ❤🛫🙏🌎 P.S. Sending you and Satoshi, Happy Thanksgiving greetings!🤗🦃🍂🍁

[@dianbhuiyan]

waiting

[@kml223]

I was a bit disappointed thatwe couldn't see the inside of the shops. I know you said you couldn't take us inside but another KZbinr is able to do it, he just asks the owners, have you asked them? I'd like to see the inside if the shops, he even I'd able to go into the back of kitchens at restaurants. Maybe in the future?

[@derpturtlee2058]

whats up with the person behind you at 14:46.. kinda creepy!
