@@josephfoster29 where fo you sell it? You did not reply to my question. Can you organize a trip for us to visit? And Mr. Peanut Oil Turkey is served with what? Veggies, Basmati organic rice???
Im from lousiana, got stationed in Oki. Went there and just had to say he was extremely nice and generous. On the night we went it was actually close for a private party. But he still made accommodations for us and let us sample a bunch of the dishes they had at the party for free. Big big thumbs up.
While visiting my daughter and son in law, we went and had lunch here. Great restaurant, awesome food and the owner is such a sweetheart! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu! 🙏🥰🙏💗
I'm also from New Orleans, and it warms my heart to see our food being shared with others around the world. When I visit Japan next year, I'm definitely making a stop here!
So I met Al when I was a DoD Contractor overseas. I was attached to his unit. Great guy and a great Marine. I followed his journey when he first opened up his restaurant and I'm glad you got to interview him. He had a beautiful family as well!
I enjoyed his story. I’m a Japanese, born and raised in Osaka and now living in LA for 40 years. I have never been in Okinawa before, but I have been in New Orleans and love the food there. I would love to have dinner at Cafe Orleans and to meet the owner someday I will visit there. Thank you for the great interview and inspiration.
I've been there back when I was stationed in Japan, it's fire and almost always poppin! One of my boys told me about it at work and I couldnt believe it, they even get crawfish boils every now and then
I enjoyed this interview and story is inspiring to me. I've been in Okinawa for about 18 years and glad to discover Café Orleans through this channel. Will definitely be making a visit with my family. Ganbatte Al!
My wife and I went there. Some of the best Cajun and Creole style food we ever had. Even better than home (New Orleans). Great service also. God Bless...
Great inspiration! I'm glad that you followed your gut and I'm glad that you are flourishing in your new career! Thank you for serving our country! Thank you for your service! Salute 🇺🇸 ICING ON THE CAKE FOR THE TWO LANGUAGES YOU TOOK THE TIME TO LEARN, WHICH PAVES THE WAY FOR THE NEXT HONEST MAN!!!
This is so crazy because I’m not only from New Orleans but I’m from the West Bank (Algiers) and I’m in the military bout too be stationed in Korea soon. This gets me excited too know anything’s possibly.
Great interview as a former US Air Force Security Police military veteran who use to be station on the mainland Japan at Misawa Air Base (Aomori prefecture) I am proud of this hero military veteran for his success in Japan.
Damn, went on vacation there a few years back.. Wasn’t aware that this restaurant was present. Damn, would have been an honor to have had the experience.
Such a good interview! I'm also a former Marine that settled down in Okinawa and I hope to have a business there in the future. Its so nice to hear about his experiences. I've heard many good things about this place and hope to visit soon!
Awesome coverage & hats of to Mr. Ship!!!😊 Praying for his continued success!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I am really enjoying your channel! 🥰Great content & interesting!! Thank you!!🙌🏽
Amazing Ranzo as always, congratulations to the brother 👏🏾👏🏾🎆🎉 very inspiring indeed. Thank you for yet another great interview Ranzo, you are legend, the best 💪🏾🎆
Thanks Ranzo for this interview. I love the decor of this restaurant; it looks like you are in New Orleans for sure 👍. I am sadden for the girl and her family. I hate Al had to experience police mistaken identity. I am proud of the brother and his wife's accomplishments! 👍 Ranzo. Beautiful beach and water.
I lived in Okinawa from 1985 to 1993 and I am so ready to come back. MY wife is from Naha. I am a retired Air Force and Retired civilian LE. Now a business owner and ready to come back! Very well done Brother!
I was born in Luling, Louisiana near New Orleans ( raised in Los Angeles since age 3). After enlisting in the Navy I visited Yokosuka, Japan and enjoyed it
This is dope!! I'm a Louisiana native and would love to have seen all of the food there. He kept it true with the fleur de lis symbol and saints colors.
Thank you for sharing such and inspiring read. His place is such a warm welcome for all so far from home. Glad you make these awesome videos and show us what are folks are doing around the Asian realm.
Okinawa almost seem like a mirage to me. I grew up and lived there until 2004. Visited regularly until a few years ago. Kind people and island style(laid back) that's all I can say.
Great stuff I was there in 1984-85 and a brother owing his own place then was just a dream. I will visit his place next time I'm there. The fact that I'm from New Orleans as well gives me even more incentive.
Bkack Experience why don't you organize a trip there so we would visit as a group? Wait to hear from you. I bet you will get a lot of clients including me
im not black, im brown. but I would love to go with. on another note, man I wished id joined the military and been fortunate enough to station in Japan. much love from TX
Interesting video! It came up in my newsfeed and I enjoyed your interview. Good job! I never visit a foreign place before tho. Maybe I will one day. If America don’t get there act together. Lol
Another great video again and always inspiring. I visited Tokyo in 2019 for a jiu jitsu tournament and I was crushed I had to leave. I hope to visit again soon.
Great interview, I like the story and the message. I'm glad to see a fellow 'Yaadie' doing such great work, keep it up bredda. Also, as I like what Al Shipp is doing, I'd like you to share this with him; the peace symbol should have the three arms/branches facing upward like a flourishing and prospering tree, as shown in nature. The 'popular peace symbol' actually represent war & death, which contributed to the peace movements of the past being anything but peaceful. So I would advise him to avoid printing the death rune (popular peace symbol) on his shirts, as it is likely to attract un-peace to him an his business.
Ranzo, thanks for this. very enlightening interview. I didn't know the differences between Okinawa and mainland Japan. It's not strong but you sound Caribbean - are you originally from that part of the world? you're output is very professional and informative. wishing you every success! I'm from Grenada and live in London, UK
Grew up a goo deal of my life in Okinawa. Sadly we moved back in 2015. Really hoping I get to go back one day, maybe even live there. Never knew this guy was there. Another black owned restaurant in Okinawa was 2 Jerks, a jerk chicken place near Camp Mct military base. Don’t know if it’s still open, hopefully it is though. 👏🏽
I experienced something similar in Malaysia when I lived there. When the police back in the U.S. were killing Blacks quite often, I was feeling kind of depressed too. The Chinese-Malaysians asked me why are you so down? I responded to them that even one killing affected me because it could have been me or someone I knew. They would attempt to console me by saying, you don't live there anymore. You are living in Malaysia now. America is not your home anymore. This is your home and we are your family and we will take care of you like you are one of us! They did their best to make me feel better about the situation back in the U.S. I still appreciate them for that and they are still my Malaysian family even though I'm in Spain now. They still take care of me like I was one of them even away from Malaysia. Those of you who have not lived in a foreign country are full of misconceptions about living abroad. As the brother said, people are just people no matter who you are. Once, as a foreigner, you are in another country for awhile, they grow to care for and love you. But, it depends on how much love you send out. Love is a two-way street!
OMG I've walked passed café Orleans every weekend when I did my grocery shopping or when I when to Tomiya Housing agency to pay my bills and rent! I've always wanted to go there but my contract expired before I knew it. I was a Good year, but I miss Okinawa and hoping to get another more permanent job there when the pandemic is over.
I miss Okinawa! I was last there for my 3rd time in 2005, stationed at Futenma air station. I remember my first time there in 1998 Pyramids was the best night club near gate 2 Street. I wonder what its like now.
To the host, You have a Jamaican accent....I would love to hear your individual story! Also I have always wanted to visit Japan, irs on my bucket list! If you dont already have one could you please do a video for visitors, how to kake the most of our experience there and best places to visit etc.
Yes, Okinawans skin are darker than mainland Japanese. I remember this one time my Nigerian friend met my Okinawan friend and later asked me, is she really Japanese? She looks part African 😃 Also I've met other Okinawan friend of this Okinawan friend who had very curly hair, heard that's not too uncommon either 😏
@@cloudman1006 That's true. But also mainland Japan in ancient times were populated with peoples connected to ryukyuans in south and ainus in north into yayoi people moved from Asia mainland thru Korea around kyuushu and pushed these jomon peoples south and north. That's like over 1500 years ago

I loved hearing him talk about the different art pieces in his restaurant! I can't wait to support black-owned businesses when I go back to Japan!
It seems like when Blacks go abroad they succeed in Asia, the Us, Europe and Canada and that's a good thing!!! I'm Happy for them!!!
So when you refer to us African american men, haitian etc as "blacks" its pretty racist dude.
zeroazure0 no, no it’s not
That’s not your black are you not?
So I met Al when I was a DoD Contractor overseas. I was attached to his unit. Great guy and a great Marine. I followed his journey when he first opened up his restaurant and I'm glad you got to interview him. He had a beautiful family as well!
When you interview restaurants, we want to see the food. The menu.
EXACTLY!!!
Exactly
Agreed, that's the most important thing since, black owned or not, nobody will just eat anything. We need to know what they're serving.
Start your own channel then and do it the way you want
I bet you didn't even visit his website to see what they have on offer.
