24 Hours of Convenience Store Eats in Okinawa: A Foodie's Dream

[@Scriptor13]

Every time you visit Okinawa, I imagine myself there enjoying the sun, waves, sand, lovely people, interesting culture, and great food. (It also makes me very nostalgic for Hawaii.) It never ceases to amaze me that in Japan one can eat healthy, delicious food from konbini 24/7. I loved your choices that were unique to Okinawa. Also, I loved the Ryukyu Glass Village and Okinawa World with its amazing cave. Thank you for a wonderful video! I love to see you enjoying yourselves. 💜💜

[@jonwashburn7999]

I am so jealous of you. Not only is the food tasty, but it is affordable.

[@lysruiz3953]

Please do a video of all day convenience store eating in Tokyo. Thank you!

[@TheBlueFlame54]

Fun videos, lads! Hope to see this become a series!

[@donia1]

I absolutely loved the video, and this was incredibly interesting. I hope you both do videos you genuinely like and share whatever makes you both happy. That's what I like seeing the most. ❤❤❤ Best wishes for continuous success and joy in abundance.

[@TabiEats]

Thanks so much for the kind words.

[@Selloutsatirist]

Visiting Okinawa in the middle of summer is a bold choice. It looks beautiful, though.

[@shannondore]

I love it when you visit Okinawa, it's such a beautiful place. I could definitely live off convenience food if I lived in Japan. Lots of yummy and healthy options there. Also that cave was really cool. If I ever visit there I'm going there. I love stuff like that. Take care guys, Thanks for the video.😊

[@Sarah-c7y]

Oh my heart, I grew up in Okinawa and moved to the states in 1999. Your videos always comforts my homesickness! I've walked the roads you show myself and I love seeing how Okinawa has changed in 20 years! Domoarigatogozaimasu ❤

[@Sarah-c7y]

I love love ❤❤❤❤ Okinawa Miso onigiri!

[@TabiEats]

Glad you enjoyed it! Will be going back to Okinawa in October sos yay tuned for another video!

[@Sarah-c7y]

@@TabiEats my birthday is in October maybe you can eat Taco Rice in Kin where I was born!

[@siriqbal]

These simple traveling videos are my favorite of your channel. It really feels like I am traveling with you both! Thank you so much.

[@lauras8674]

This just came up on my feed! Love the video! All I have to say about it is it's stunning and beautiful! The glassware was gorgeous 🥰 and food is affordable! 😁

[@TabiEats]

Thank you so much!

[@traceybracero1662]

I absolutely love you guys. Everytime I watch your videos you both make my soul smile. Thank you for doing such awesome content. I could listen to either you talk all-day long it's so calming and happy. Love it. Blessed be!

[@TabiEats]

Thank you 🙏

[@morpheium203]

Seriously enjoyable video! It's not hard to see that you two loveee going to okinawa cause you can feel the happy vibes! Loved this video SO much haha! Take care! Miss everyone from the live streams hope all are well :D

[@IslandGal96816]

When hubby and I went visit Japan for the first time, my daily breakfast and/or midnight snack was same thing, 1-2 seasoned boiled egg(s) & corn on a cob vacuum-sealed from any convenience store... both are soooo good 🥰😆

[@angelicrobles6292]

Okinawa has a special place in my heart and soul, because of Karate Kid and Slam Dunk's Ryota Miyagi. 🥰 And this video is HOME! Satoshi and Shinichi finding lots of convenience store comfort food in a beautiful place--- it's life at its sweetest, while seeing that part of the world through the eyes of them both. 🤤 Oh! And I'm sorry the weather was sweltering hot! Glad those delicious drinks helped. 🥵

[@marodz20]

what a great experience! Wish I was there with you guys.

[@SovereignTaliN7]

I’m so happy you get to experience these beautiful places, and I’m so grateful you recorded it to take us with you! ❤ Looks so fun! I would love to see more videos like this! Hokkaido, Kyoto, Tokyo, Kobe, anywhere is good! Thank you for working so hard. Please rest!

[@edgarfigueroa4572]

I love watching your videos. Since we moved to Okinawa we’ve been trying a lot of the different foods and going to the different places you’ve suggested. Thank you so much.

[@TabiEats]

Thank you!

[@jakedavisdesign]

So happy to watch this . I spent a few days in America Village on my last trip to Japan after seeing your last video - The sunsets are stunning, made even more so when accompanied by a glass of wine at one of the shore front restaurants.

[@lisalisas8]

Dear Satoshi, Thanks for showing us that cave, it looks amazing!! Well deserved beer, cheers 😊

[@perdomot]

I would like to see a video on the lesser-known convenience stores that you guys mention from time to time. Maybe a 10 best foods from mini stop or Daily Yamazaki.

[@TabiEats]

Great idea

[@morpheium203]

I second this!

[@noragarcia6409]

Loved the video, sharing the foods of your country. Do another

[@cherrytomato6139]

You guys are awesome. I really enjoy your videos. Wishing you a lot of happiness and lots more adventures to share. Yes please, do one like this in Tokyo and other places!

[@angelabrothers]

Your smiles, content, and love for Japan brighten my day. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@TabiEats]

You are so kind. Thank you

[@sharontisherman7619]

Hi guys! I really loved this video! So much fun! I would love to see a Tokyo version!❤❤❤❤

[@Narywho]

My husband and I just made it okinawa last night and we have been binge watching your videos ❤

[@TabiEats]

So glad you found us! We hope you enjoy your time in Okinawa.

[@Lostboy811]

The answer is YES. Did it on my Tokyo visit 7-11 even stored food later for any late night craving. My comment is that while you might not get top quality, the quality is above average and is pretty much better than what you think. Especially if you learn how to shop combination of foods. The game changer is splurging on proper condiments and seasonings to add more taste to your pallet. Why do this because it'll stretch your money

[@mahoney1360]

You two are really living your best lives and it’s awesome ❤

[@nikeeweston]

So happy to see you both drinking liquids in such hot weather, it makes you so ill otherwise, heat stroke isn’t good. Good to see Satoshi drinking more too I know he hates plain water. Love Okinawa. I used to worry watching you both walking and not drinking and walking so much. ❤

[@hollyhart1008]

I lived in Japan for 3 years. I absolutely fell in love with Okinawa!

[@joannamurakami908]

Love this trip! The photo of you two after spelunking is super awesome!

[@karaleea1671]

yes i would love more like this

[@lovinglifewitheli]

I love watching you guys!!

[@lovinglifewitheli]

The more I watch you guys the more I want to visit!

[@Xgmzydyk]

I loved learning about your family. I would only eat out too if I lived in Japan 😂

[@donia1]

Yes, sounds like.both grandma's had pretty good plans if you ask me. 😂

[@sukebanshee]

I'll be back in Okinawa in a couple of weeks and this is the perfect video to bring me into the mood and inspire me for the holidays. Thank you a lot! Always brings me instant joy to see you both in a new video!

[@hunnie101]

love your videos! they've always been so informative and calming! so happy you both are still uploading :)

[@PREPFORIT]

Interesting choices and all delicious. Cool cave exploring and there is nothing wrong with a few touristy areas sometimes.

[@claudiaweidman1004]

The food looks great 😊

[@SaccharineChaperone]

I love you guys so much and I appreciate your content. Thank you for showing me Japan. I hope to visit someday.

[@dennistani1986]

Guys, welcome back to Okinawa! August is both hot and extremely busy all over Japan. Obon season in August is one of the busiest holiday periods in Japan. Many people are traveling. I also highly recommend cold noodles at 7-11 and Lawson, very tasty. Another tip at the okinawa world cave, you saw the long stairwell at the entrance. When you exit from the bottom of the cave back to the top to exit the cave, there is a huge escalator there, no walking required! Take care!

[@ahnana833]

Take care during typhoon season ❤❤ I had an 8 month deployment in Okinawa.. miss my friends there 😅

[@brian.2023]

Definitely on our bucket list when we visit Japan. The prices are incredible.

[@irenetanabe1]

For expats, you might have pointed out, the 7 Eleven in Chatan has slurpees! So, it is an Okinawa only. It was forever the only 7Eleven in Japan with slurpees (yes, they have Cola Slurpee), but now there is another. I heard that the 7 Eleven across from Foster base now has slurpees but I have not been there to confirm that.

[@tamara4557]

I think these videos are always helpful en interesting, as most people coming to Japan won't have a kitchen in their accomodation, so are more dependent on the convenient store. The oogi chichen rice looks delicious! Perfect for a hot day. I should try to make it at home. And love to try the shikwasa drink. I had gummies with that flavour once and I think senbei, and it was delicious!

[@AussieAngeS]

hi guys, wow the ocean looked so beautiful where you went, what a view. Loving the food you both bought, convenience store foods there look just as good as restaurant bought.

[@cagii45]

I really enjoyed this video. To see the sites is wonderful. I’d love to travel with you two guys.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

That looks like such a fun trip. I've always wanted to visit Okinawa. The water looks so blue. And that glass maker, I would have loved to watch them make the glasses.

[@danmccarthy4700]

[@tonybrigner3866]

thank you for the great videos the food looks yummy

[@abaik1]

The cave was spectacular!

[@bethdk7328]

In East TN (USA) we have a similar cave that you can tour. It’s called “The Lost Sea” and actually has a lake inside! You can take a boat ride on it. They have never found the bottom of the sea.

[@bethdk7328]

It is also made of limestone. We are taught “stalactites stick tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might make it to the ceiling” as an easy way to remember the names of the formations in the cave.

[@traveltalk5623]

I was looking on info for okinawa and stumble upon your videos. I really like it. You guys made okinawa seems like a really lovely place to visit and eat of course. Please continue to share more videos of japan as I had enjoyed watching your videos about okinawa.

[@cycg1935]

Satoshi not needing beer on a hot day is not Satoshi 😅 What a beautiful island! And even though your meals were from the combini but these were well balanced healthy foods, instead of fried greasy junk food. So one can survive on combini foods in Japan.

[@daynhoy9600]

I loved this video. Yes please do one in Tokyo and other places. It was so much fun.

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

Lovely video, thoroughly enjoyed every meal with you guys. Yes, please a Tokyo combini meal day.😄👍

[@Nemuimori]

The glass works looks awesome and the glasses were beautiful! I would be tempted, too. Does the jasmine tea have caffeine, or is it just jasmine?

[@TabiEats]

It does have a little caffeine as it’s jasmine flowers with Chinese tea.

Fun challenge. It all looked good, except the SPAM. Had too much as a child. Here in US mainland we tend to slice and fry like bacon. I've also had it as a child cubed and made into a "Mexican" rice. The cave was very cool! Been to a couple here in US. Hello from Oregon, US.

[@icegoddesslexra]

Oh man, that jasmine tea looks so good. I love jasmine tea, hot or cold. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if any of the asian import stores in town carry that specific brand. I usually buy Ito En Jasmine tea.

Tofu made with peanuts? I’m not a huge tofu eater, but that sounds interesting. Oh, I would also have to try the deep-fried spam.

the U.S. military brought Spam to Okinawa in its rations and introduced their overstock into the local market. Now it’s part of their culture.
