Okinawa | Solo Eating Local Food in the South Island of Japan

I'm going to eat local food in Okinawa Japan. Okinawa soba, fu chanpuru, taco rice and a lot more.
From Tokyo (Haneda) to Naha, it takes about 3 hours by plane.

    When I first saw the tacorice I wasn't sure about it (being part Mexican) but the longer I looked at it, the more I wanted to eat it! My friend and my husband say the reason I enjoy your videos so much is because we are kindred spirits because I say, 'I'll only have a little bit to eat' and come back with loads of food. But how can one choose just ONE thing when everything looks so good! Thank you for making such great videos. Love them all!

    😂😂😂 AJ 👏🏼 you made me laugh 🌼 These videos make me crave food I’m allergic to, like gluten, dairy, eggs, pork, seafood. 2 weeks ago today I succumbed, there was an instant ramen pot. It’s been there taunting me for about 18 months, but I had to have it. I took 8 small forkfuls omg drool…delusional! I was I’ll later that evening and the following 2 days but, sometimes we have to give into temptation before it’s constantly on someone’s mind until for some people it becomes a binge session. I don’t have enough foods I can eat and have in the house to do that. Maybe rice cakes & banana or a flavoured rice, I’m not a sweet fan either. I don’t much like chocolate, something that’s real fruit flavoured and chewy I’ll do that sometimes but I’m not good with enumbers, colour and sugar. As for cakes, biscuits/cookies, pancakes, muffins, crumpets, wraps…I’ve never liked them anyway so it’s not difficult to resist something I don’t want 😂 I can have gf ones of course, I don’t know how to describe it, apart from yuck! The autistic part of me doesn’t do weird textures 😂 A couple of weird things I crave…weetabix/wheat biscs, apples & peas. Not the usual cravings 😂but a wheatabix, chilled soya milk and some faux sweetener, 🤤I see the children eating them as I look at my rice cakes and I want to have them 😂

    The best Okinawan soba and rafute I had were near American Town. The latter, Kinpaginpa, needed reservations. It's close to the conveyer belt sushi place. The soba place was near a dive shop. There are many autographs on the wall, and usually a line. Manga Souko is a must visit store.

When my wife and I visited Okinawa a couple of decades ago, she converted to Okinawan food being her absolute favorite. Thanks for the tour.

I don't remember if it was on a bus or in a room on a ferry. When eating at a restaurant, I can't eat the whole meal due my hernia. I request a box or two to boxed up the rest to eat later. Is that done in Japan?

    I think the content of this channel and main channel have been dwindling down over the past few months. I have been following ever since the beginning of both channels and to be honest it's just getting more and more disappointing. It's just boring watching him eating similar things across Japan, or eating at random restaurants in the station/airport. He could have walked several blocks to a more authentic one and showed us what 'travel' really means and not lots of routine stuff.
