The Most Delicious Onigiri in the World | Okinawa Vlog 2

[@kevynsmith2200]

I've seen dozens and dozens of your videos since yposted this years ago. I just love your relaxed vibe and your obvious sincerity! I'd love to see you and Satoshi return to this earlier style and content!

[@kml223]

Yes would be nice to see you do the Onigiri at home.

[@debracantrell1058]

Hello Shinichi how you doing yes it is a beautiful city love these days you doing these videos of Okinawa thanks for sharing this trip with us 👍❤️ stay safe

[@alifeatsteak9108]

I'd managed to go to Okinawa in Jan 2020 just before COVID hit hard and this video brings back so many wonderful memories. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO Shinichi!

[@joyceyamamoto5452]

I am so glad you are in an arts and craft area!! Peace Street with small, interesting shops. So sad to see shops closed, PO: Yum! Onigiri looks delicious!! YAY!! 12 different varieties!!! When you enjoy food outside, you give us a wonderful experience, too. Thank you!!! I want to replicate your onigiri, too!! Wonderful videos. ARIGATO!

[@tomikotakeuchi8103]

Please do make Okinawa style onigiri. I am plant based, so made mine with miso / tofu / takuwan / and spinach. It was colorful, crunchy and delicious. Keep walking around cities. Shall visit Okinawa when we get back!

[@mmmochi1]

Thank you so much for showing places in Okinawa! It is such a joy to show my child this of places I have lived when I was their age. Arigato!

[@Scriptor13]

Thank you for the wonderful stroll, Shinichi. I loved the quaint, retro feel. And the "rice sandwich" looked delicious. Please do replicate it at home--but be sure to make a lot for hungry guests from overseas. 😊❤️

[@ssirin]

Wow. So quiet. I went there about 4 yrs ago with a friend for her cousin's wedding. We rented a car and went to many places on the island. My favorite eatery there was the Rose Garden which really reminded me of a Pop and Mom's style restaurant in small town Midwest America.

[@makshima8545]

+Shinichi's World, the item in the pavilion at 0:56 is the rope that they use in the annual Naha tug-of-war. Happens every year in October. Part of the Ryukyu cultural festival. L:argest tug-of-war on the planet, I believe. BTW, you could replicate that onigirazu easily in a spam musubi mold.

[@MrLGDUK]

Sorry I missed the premier! But yes, I'd love to see you replicate that delicious onigiri at home 😁 It was wonderful to share that experience with you - we could feel the atmosphere of that wonderful little back street through you and through the joy it brought you.

[@ladymurasaki370]

Yes please buy the miso and make it at home! I’m sure Satoshi will enjoy it also! 👍🏽🤙🏽🌺💜

[@takedashingen2834]

I'm sure gonna check that store out when I go back again. Thanks for the advice. Much appriciated. 👍

[@lorrainemodjeska7632]

Thank you for showing Okinawa. I have memories of Heiwa Dori since childhood. I’d love to eat miso onigiri and Okinawa soba. Can’t wait to visit Okinawa next year to see my elderly mother and siblings. Even living in Wisconsin for 25 years, still feel Okinawa and Hawaii as my home, especially Okinawa. Love to see more videos of Okinawa. If you’d like to get in touch with Okinawan residents to help you search places to visit, let me know.

[@lexikrieg2747]

Yes yes!!!! Make onigiri at home I would love to see that! I've recently subscribed to both of your channels! I love when you have Justin on your videos. I live here in Wisconsin USA and I love Japanese culture and of course the food. My fiance is Japanese and he recently had me try yuzu kosho. It's the best Japanese condiment I've ever had. Especially in my natto and I love mixing it with mayo for onigiri and sandwiches! I really enjoy watching you guys, you have kept me company thru my quarantine and have shown me some awesome Japanese food and some great recommendations to try next time I make a trip to my favorite Asian supermarket. Keep it up I really enjoy your content!

[@maureen4056]

Yes. Do it. and I'd like to try it too, if you put up the recipe. Looks wonderful.

[@heartoflotus]

I love it! "This must be something." LOL Yes, please replicate your favorite po onigiri sandwich at home. 🍙🥪 Thank you for sharing your one of your favorite eats in Okinawa! 🙏

[@bennyrose6906]

I always learn so much about japan from your videos Shinichi

[@bernadinepena5243]

Yes for sure replicate it. Looks delicious.

[@purplealice]

There are side-street arcades like that in Melbourne Australia - lots of fun, boutiques, snacks, all sorts of stuff together

[@georgerought5761]

Jiranbayaa, on the left side of the alley where you turned right, makes the best kamaboko. My family has been buying their products since the '60s.

[@NattieBruin]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful island with us.

[@just_another_Japan_Life_Vlog]

Lucky Tacos!!!!! The Tacos were amazing there and the staff were really friendly. And seemed super happy I was there!!

[@inge6280]

Yes, ofcourse, please replicate at home. I’d like to see that!

[@abefrohman1759]

Always enjoy when you or Satoshi cook at home. Definitely want to see you recreate that.

[@christiana919]

looking good Shinichi, i wish i could visit okinawa soon

[@markmorgan2058]

Loving these Okinawa video's. I would eat at Po restaurant everyday to . The Onigiri looked so fresh . Spam was a very popular product in NZ growing up . So under rated here now , yet so versatile. I always have it in my pantry . Since watching your video's I have learnt so much about Asian, Japanese foods . I watched you and your mums sweet and sour pork dish . Which I made for dinner it was out of this world , so different to any other we have tried. Such a huge hit in my family thankyou. Perhaps one day in the future I would love to cook for you and Satoshi if you were to visit New Zealand. Have a great day guys . PS Shout to the moderator's they are the best 👍💛🍙

[@tomikotakeuchi8103]

Thanks for sharing Okinawa ... will put it on my bucket list. Keep wander and eating ... do show us how to make rice sandwiches.

[@jenniferandaya4516]

Yes, please show us how to make this at home. And also the miso that you bought 🤗

[@Js_Son83]

Yes. Make a video of the food. I wanna know how to make it. It looks so good!!!!!!

[@petraisARMY7]

😘😃take care and yes, it would be lovely to see you create this at home. It sounds delicious 😃

[@nikeeweston]

I have so many videos to catch up on, it’s awesome. Amazing channels

[@cleonwalker1041]

Thanks, didn't know restaurants were on the back streets of kokusai

[@doodledaaze]

Yes please! Would love to see you recreate this sandwich

[@punklejunk]

I loved how the audio captured that perfect seaweed crunch as you bit into it. I was having a PB&J at the same time-- had to pretend I was in Okinawa for a few seconds, LoL

[@maggiecruz8606]

Thank you!! Delicious 😋🙏🏽👌🏽👍🏽💙

[@catherinebond7474]

Making the sandwich would be fun. I looked at their website. Lots of choices! Besides the one you had I think I would like one with meintaiko or takana.

[@Steph-dn4bk]

Would love to see you making it at home! 食べたい!

[@jacobarroyo4742]

at 0:55 that is a portion of the rope used in a Okinawa tradition of giant tug of war they host annually, not held this year due to Covid :(

[@jcred6935]

Yes def replicate that at home

[@kamanama3671]

I discovered the UCC coffee brand at my local Japanese grocery store and they have a little tiny acrylic display case that keeps it piping hot to the point where I can barely take it out. I was drinking it during the summer even though it was warm out I can't wait to go back now that it's gotten chilly going to be so delicious. It was good to see the vending machine as a reminder.

[@kitty-yz7xo]

Yes! Please.

[@Drination09]

More interesting things in okinawa. Nice video. :)

[@toxic9282]

The Onigiri looks REALLY delicious! 😀👍

[@ellywong4545]

Omg I went here too!!! Brings back happy memories.

[@YOURROOM47]

Wow you’re so lucky. I was born in Chatan Okinawa Japan! But I’m stuck in the states since my family was stationed there for a few years and I never got to see how amazing it is.

[@LimingLyn]

Hi you are in my favorite place in Japan. Back in February 2020, I bought many souvenirs in that area as its local artists.

[@brawndope125]

When you say in the beginning of the video "I'm so happy to be here!", that is the perfect description of Okinawa in general. I miss that place.

[@just_another_Japan_Life_Vlog]

My feeling too. Okinawa is just so relaxing 😌

[@alexcarter8807]

@@just_another_Japan_Life_Vlog It reminds me tons of Hawaii where I grew up. And Japan in general being inexpensive to live in, I'd sure it'd be a great place to retire but I'd not want to try it without mastering Japanese and I don't think I can do that. At least I can retire back in Hawaii which is cheaper than the mainland.

[@just_another_Japan_Life_Vlog]

@@alexcarter8807 I'm still trying to master Japanese myself, and it's not easy! Maybe retire in Hawaii and get a holiday home in Okinawa... If I was rich enough I'd definitely do that!! Not rich enough to even visit Hawaii yet 😭 it's on my todo list

[@min2vietin]

Enjoy your sandwich....it looks really good! I will try to make that sandwich at home too. We have all the ingredients. Thanks!

[@shelleyscloud3651]

I’d love a vid of the arts & crafts centre! Love that kind of stuff!

[@medibbs]

Naha is lovely really nice most of my memories are of the trip there by ferry (never use the ferry) food omg the food the weather and the great brown aged Sake I found there I wish I knew what the sake was I would love to get some more

[@etherdog]

You should definitely do this at home and do a cook-off with Satochi.

[@Slammer_1970]

That looked so good. Got hungry just looking at it.

[@kumokundomo9705]

Welcome to Okinawa, Shinichi! Just found your channel. If you haven't gone yet, I recommend American Village in Chatan which is north of Naha. Perhaps 30 minute drive. There are many coffee shops and stores there. The beach is beautiful anytime. Hope you have a great time in Japan!!

[@anitakinman8881]

OMG❣ May I have a bite?😹Looks so delicious 😋 Yes, please replicate the musubi when you return home. I'd love to try it here in Kentucky if possible. Thank you for taping in Okinawa my birth home. I miss Okinawa so thank you, Shinichi san ❣😽

[@SK-du5ns]

Great upload Sinichi. Cheers.

[@stacyneuman8619]

You inspired me to make spam musubi because I also love spam, it came out great,thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@score2high]

When you go back to get your goya onigiri sandwich, you should also get a goya burger from Jef. It's also in Heiwadori. I've had it and it is really good. Kit Zakimi talked about the goya burger in a recent video. Also, isn't the the miso in the onigiri called andasu?

[@babsr8479]

So sorry to see so many stores closed down; just like here in the US. A health food store in my neigborhood closed down after over 20 yrs.; so sad. This is people'is livelihood. When I went to Hawaii (Honolulu) I found this wonderful breakfast place "Eggs' n Things". I wish I had caugt the live premiere, but I overslept.

[@alexcarter8807]

Eggs 'n' Things is an institution! It's been around since the 80s. I used to go there when I was in college - they are famous for being open late.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

The tour looked amazing. The sights, and the food were nice to see. You should try and make onigiri at home. Cheers!

[@JoBot28]

Yes pls replicate this recipie!

[@merrynpreston9446]

The rope at the beginning is the tug o war rope. It’s a festival they hold every year google it. I love Okinawa been 3 times. Hope to go again soon for karate mainly. X

[@PamelaProPeace]

An agricultural tradition of a tug of war with this enormous rope started here many centuries ago, and would be part of the celebrations of such important events as the coronation of a new emperor. After a hiatus of about 70 years it was again reinstated and is now recognised in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest tug-of-war rope in the world.

[@theblackrabbittt]

I would love to see you make it!

[@Claudi771]

Make at home, definitely ❗️🙏🏻😍

[@skywobleross5203]

Great video! Love the scenery too sad a lot of shops had to close though :(

[@Em-yt1db]

Anyone else notice the lady with green polo shirt on right side 4:57 suddenly holding card up to her face showing no cameras as you walked past? and follows backwards lol.

[@davidhyder9609]

Yes, I have to admit that is some good looking onigiri. We usually make our own onigiri with just rice, spam, and seaweed. And that is our favorite. But yours is very creative and attractive, maybe we will try it next time in Okinawa. Thanks

[@susanburnside111]

Another great video! Thanks Shinichi. It was almost as good as being there. Happy memories. By the way, that “something” at the beginning is an oki nawa, a big rope. There is an interesting write up about it on an information board near by. Check it out if you’re in the area again. And yes, please recreate the onigiri once you’re back home. The cooking videos are always fun. I’ve been making your Mum’s kinpiri gobo for a couple of years now. Delicious🙏🏻😋💕

[@Kendanskylife]

Is it the giant rope they use in the Naha Tug-of-War? I've never heard of this but just looked into it! Very interesting

[@susanburnside111]

@@Kendanskylife Yes, it is👍🙂

[@rosannashe6313]

yes make it at home but maybe also make some other versions of it inspired by your visit to Po. I think that would be terrific!

[@MrPeekM]

Yes, please do make it.

[@samanthajohnson3368]

Yes, you should definitely replicate the rice sandwich at home. That would be a great video.

[@alexcarter8807]

I used to love cloudy days in Hawaii because they were cooler.

[@sandrac1313]

Looks like a really nice place.I hope you do make those at home.❤

[@taetaeuk7744]

Yes please make this at home. It would be great to see if it tastes the same.

[@alexcarter8807]

That little street is kind of like how the old "International Marketplace" in Waikiki, it was a walk-through and had tons of little shops and stalls ... one of my sisters even had a job making those candles that are all carved, showing different layers/colors of wax, there.

[@nobutaaaaaaaaa]

I’m gonna try to make it at home

[@PREPFORIT]

Now that was an interesting walk. I love that Onigiri. YES, you should replicate the recipe at home.

[@doorran]

yes make it at home.. since I am no longer in Okinawa I need to have some hope I can make it,

[@donfenton7473]

I really like hotels and flights. That’s why I first started watching you.

[@laurene2586]

Looks great. Would like to see you make this at home, too!

[@YoursTrudie]

Yes! Yes! Yes! This Onigiri looks wonderful. Would you sweeten the miso separately or do they sell a sweet miso?? 😋😍✨

[@frankrivera4625]

Missed the morning show. Okinawa looks very nice you guys should be snowbirds and get a condo or apartment for the winter and leave tokyo when it gets too cold.

[@jasontan4453]

Seeing you eat making me hungry

[@alexcarter8807]

I like the DyDo vending machine - was it all DyDo drinks? I like the DyDo black coffee.

What phone do you use when livestreaming?, its so good

Cooking demo bruddah Shin! 💖💖💖

[@AdelleOverton]

Hi Shinichi! I've wanted to visit Japan since I was young, but I'm disabled. How would you rate access for wheelchair users? It's a little difficult to see in your videos. 💜 😊 Big loves to you, Satoshi and Justin! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@Shinichisworld]

There are challenges for sure as there are many books and crannies in Japanese cities. I do recommend visiting with a friend who could help. However I do know of some people who visit every year who are in wheelchairs. They tell me they do fine here as most people are helpful. Also train stations are all accessible and staff will help you as much as possible.

[@Komainu959]

From the perspective of someone who has bad feet and a bad knee and whose friends Mom is wheelchair bound so i tend to notice accessibility issues. It really depends. Major cities are generally fine so far as train stations (elevators) and buses (non step) but I know when I ventured out of the major cities it could be more of a problem. At the very least the elevator may be in a harder to find location and some buses are not accessible. It also depends on what you want to do. Many of the temples/shrines I visited had lots of steps and I doubt there were any other means of traversing around those stairs. That's not to say they couldn't be enjoyed but it might be limiting. The last thing I would say is that while major cities generally have nice wide sidewalks and cut sidewalks at intersections some of the off streets can get very narrow with no sidewalks at all. There are of course resources that can be found online. My go to place is japan-guide.com link below to Japan accessibility. www.japan-guide.com/e/e2301.html

[@paulhartson1]

tiny malls look a bit like Milan's Galleria. your onigiri looks delish! Vending machines everywhere in Japan is so cool

[@dresk7958]

Sandwich looks delicious. It would be great if you replicated at home!

[@jujubi1050]

I saw your reflection through the window when you were sitting at PO. Not sure what I was thinking but I just became aware that you are holding your camera with the gimble and realized how hard that must be. ShinichiはムキムキManだね。💪💪💪

[@Squarebulb]

@12:43 They’re called onigirazu! 🙂

Omg we live in Okinawa wish i've seen you and Satoshi!
