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 was stationed in Okinawa for two years…the people there are so respectful and the food is great! Miss it so much
I was there too! Camp Kinser, wish I would have explored the area more.😔
Muricans?
@@Jsrowson -- I was at the Futima Marine Corps Air Base for 13 months. Semper Fi.
I visited someone stationed there. I loved that place.
I didn't know Okinawa was an island, learnt something today 👍
Dude your videos have gotten me through over a year of depression from grieving. So uplifting and inspiring. You're awesome brotha
Ooga booga
Wow you must really be depressed to watch this clown for a year straight. Get out the house get fresh air and sunlight you’ll feel much better.
What a great message!
hang in there :)
Anything Positive to lift your Soul. Peace Bro!
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.
You talking about My House!
I used to work at habu pit!!!!
@@098hazuki That is awesome.
I miss Okinawa so much! I’m half Okinawan and currently living in America. Everyday I think about Okinawa lol.. can’t wait to go back even if it’s just to visit. 🤩
I love Okinawa soba, and the koregusu condiment(Chilis marinated in Awamori).
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.
🇯🇵 Japan is on my bucket list. Just don’t ever think I will get there. But, watching Mark I go so many place. Thanks Mark!!
Yes you will just buy your ticket!
Don't give up bro you'll definitely get there
Never too late! Still have a chance to...
Right.
I am disabled and thanks to Mark I am traveling the world with him.
Yuji San was so nice. I love Japanese culture and people, so respectful, polite, meek, and quality service
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!
okinawa is part of china
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!
The fact that we get free food & travel videos on TH-cam by Mark is truly a gift. 👍
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 😂
Pretty sure I was squeezing my kleenex as well....
@@melaniefisher8823 good to know I am not alone 😅
@@melaniefisher8823queezing my Kleenex"!!!?
The tofu soup did the justice for me. I love the Korean version more due to the spiciness incorporated.
@Chuck Tz1983 I can relate to the Korean preference 😅 spice adds that special somethin'...
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 🙌🏾
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
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.
Okinawa! My son spent about two years there. I love the idea of such diversity with miso soup. I have always enjoyed miso.
Great to see you come visit Okinawa. I have been here for over 19 years, awesome place!
マーク沖縄にきてくれてありがとう！そろそろ日本の行く場所がなくなってきて沖縄かなと思ってました！笑
仙台の牛タンも美味しいからいつか来てね！
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!
OH, how I wish I could have been on this adventure!! Fantastic!!
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! 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻
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!

Bum lick bum
I did it 5 year ago.👍👍👍👍👍
Mark, you are SOOOO good at explaining everything and the history and reasoning...I enjoy your videos SO MUCH!!!
I am slowly adding more Japanese food into my diet. I love the culture and the food is amazing.
How can you maintaining so slim while eating non stop 😂😂😂，now you make me want to go to Okinawa ! Thanks for sharing.
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
Just love watching your videos, the places you go, the people you meet and the different foods around the world! Keep up the amazing videos!
Can't wait to visit Japan one day so I can try the original ramen recipes and explore their beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.
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!!
I have been waiting for you to visit Okinawa! So excited to see the foods I grew up eating.
Mark brought back my nostalgia. I missed Okinawa and OIC. Great environment, great people, great food!
So awesome Mark! What a great experience foe you, the ramen with that clear broth looked like heaven in a plate.
Love your content Bro!
Glory to the chefs!
I really enjoyed this video. Great choices. More Japan please!
Awesome Mark! My buddy is retired US Military formally stationed there, except he loved it so much, he never left Okinawa. It's on my bucket list to visit, especially because he keeps busting my chops about it!
Dive-in you only live once. I dare you go for it
So mouthwatering delicious food I'm craving
FINALLY!!!! I’ve been living here for 4 1/2 years and my kids and I have said for 4 1/2 years when will Mark Wens come to this amazing island!!!! I knew it would happen one day ❤!!!! I am soooo happy 😃.
Wow looks delicious!!!
wow that riceball soup is crazy. it looks amazing and made with such skill
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 🤤🙌🏽
I agree with you.
definitely inspire me to visit okinawa! I've been to Japan 8 times, but I always forget to visit Okinawa :S ..the food looks amazing!!
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
I currently really appreciate red or dark Miso with salad and maybe an egg thrown in. So simple yet so tasty.
Visited Meguro Miso today. Delicious, thanks!!
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
Born and raised on Okinawa. Haven’t been back in 20 years. Thanks for bringing back the memories!
It's so nice how your wife supports you and helps with your videos. You have a beautiful family; your son is growing so nicely!
I miss Okinawa. We lived there for 3 years, and we enjoy every moment living there!
You took the words right out of my mouth. My dad was stationed in Okinawa Japan. We lived there for 3 years. I miss it so much!!
It look delicious I wish I could try it
Great job as always I watch your videos every I’m sure I’ve watched each of your videos 50 times over always enjoy them
That is awesome you came here! I am the only TH-camr 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!
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.
so amazing food..i love the noodles so much, taste really different and unique and so flavorful..
I was station at Kadena Air Base from 72 -75. It got me to love all Japanese food. The Okinawa food was the best. I would love to go back again.
Thank you for the very nice video of the Okinawa gourmet tour👍
Awesome job mark with food vlog
I loved this one, food looked great! And interesting!
I wish I am Micah's sibling so I can tag along with Mark's food tour hahahaha
I'm Okinawan!
You got a gooood choice!
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.
Good job Mark ! Another great video !
Another great video 😋
Bravo Mark

Awesome video. The food looks amazing.
I’m going to Okinawa this week and I’m so excited about the food 🤤
Currently stationed in Okinawa can’t wait to try all these!
One of my favorite Okinawa cuisine is goat sashimi! I know it’s interesting idea, but I love it! This video makes me miss okinawa so much!
Wow this is amazing
I love watching your videos sir.
I like Mark I’ve never seen someone genuinely enjoy food like him and explain why. OH WOW!Course what he doesn’t like he excludes but I like when he makes videos of directed at that!😅
Mr. Mark is eating the local food of the island we live in!
I'm so happy♪
Goya Champuru is rich in vitamins and has an effect to prevent summer fatigue in hot Okinawa!
Love your videos!
Amazing!!!
Delicious 😋
Almost at the 10 mil mark!!!! I started following you when you had about 2 mil yay!!!!
Mark, always love your content. I actually live in Okinawa right now! If you're still around the island and want to try some strange foods with a far less traveled American let me know.
Love your videos. You rock buddy
I need to try that version of Onigiri.
ALL the soups looked GOOD !
I absolutely love Thai street food. Looks absolutely amazing and tastes. Favourite cuisine along with sushi 🍱
Safe travels Mark, I love to eat and travel

That looks amazing, I really want to visit
That's a different miso soup then the one I had. My oldest son that passed he learned to make rice balls came out real good
Okinawa is awesome! Love the tofu+bittergourd thing, the pig ears, the pork bellies, fantastic! Dang, didn't get the chance to try that goat sashimi.
Wow, Okinawa food is delicious! I use to watch a movie about that place too, it’s nice place and potato there is unique too.
I just ate, but these dishes always make my mouth water!!!!!!! 😢😂😂😂😂
Loved seeing this food tour in Okinawa! Japanese food is my weakness 🤤. Any plans in the near future to visit Mexico again for a Mexican food tour?
You keep saying the food is simple but i cant produce the same product its more of an art than simple such amazing chefs
Everything looks delicious ,I get hungry watching all the food they are eating!
I like miso but never knew such variety and sides! 🤤
I’ve been waiting for this video! Currently still living here lol and have been for 6 years!
Okinawa food looks healthy 😋
Wow looks delicious 😋😋😋😋
That miso bar at the start for breakfast was right on! 🤩
Beautiful! All the dishes seemed like such unpretentious, honest food, somehow bursting with nutrition and vitality. The fermented items and ingredients and the peanut tofu were particularly curiosity-inducing. The pig ears, too!
Been a subscriber since 2017 i love you!!!
Looks divine!
