HIBISCUS is a genus of a flowering plants, like that one called Rose Of Sharon. In here, it's called GUMAMELA. When we were kids, we used to add the flower to a mixture of laundry soap and water to make bubble blow. Makes the bubble big and long lasting.
Get well soon my friend . I feel your pain with the back and neck pain. I've had surgeries and still have horrible headaches and pain . I'm sorry for what you are going thru
Bitter melon is so healthy for you. Thanks for reminding me to eat some. Lemon allows the body to absorb the healthy benefits of green tea. Healthy Tabieats! Feel better Satoshi.
Shinichi, thanks for another one of your great walking tours, we love them!! I hope the "tourist" areas in Naha all recover quickly. Thanks again and keep making great content! Satoshi, we are praying for a fast recover from your back pain, please take care!
I hope Satoshi is feeling better. I love seeing how much Okinawa has changed from when I lived there. Your posts always make me want to visit all those wonderful restaurants and places.
Enjoying your obsession with Okinawa. Have always wanted to visit the Hawaii of Japan, but after walking with you ... I even know where I want to go (at least a beginning schedule). Don't eat meat or friend, so do have to fast forward through your meals / snacks. Best part for me is when you walk 'n talk ... camera facing forward and you read those signs for us and alert us to the shops. Love looking at the landscape in the residential areas, the diversity of shops / home n an area, and the way people dress. I am ready to get my tickets ... probably in 2022 (spring / fall). Keep striding Shinichi!
This place is on my list since last year, I made it using your recipe and loved it! The onigiri looks so yummmy! Can't wait to be able to go and try it myself! Thank you Shinichi for always sharing these awesome places! 🤩
Thank you for sharing your trip. I'm loving your Okinawa series. I finally got to watch here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada the Discovery Channel's Mighty Trains episode with both of you, Japan's 7 Stars of Kyushu. Wow, such luxury, was so happy to hear you explaining bentos. Both of u looked quite handsome.
I am slowing stumbling along into your Okinawa videos, and this was an excellent episode about Porktamago onigiri! I have that locale earmarked for a breakfast which I can't wait! Thanks!!
I can see why Okinawa reminds you of Hawaii. All the colorful buildings, flowers and palm trees. It's lovely there.🌺😊 Hope Satoshi is feeling better. Try stretching and pressure point massage. That helps me when my back starts hurting.🤗
We now have a Potama here in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. But the options are limited. Kinda out of the way to get too so we dont have it often.
Oh boy, that onigiri looked so good! The discussion about The Rose of Sharon being the same as a Hibiscus, they are different species that are in the same family, so kind of like cousins. I only grow the kind you see in Okinawa, because that's what I love the most. 😊 Hope Satoshi felt better as the day progressed. XOXO
Nice stuff! I lived on Okinawa for 18 years and the only thing I don't eat is Spam (OD'ed when I lived there) but Goyaa is my favorite veg. We used to buy all our kamaboko from Jirambayaa, they really are the best. My uncle used to dive for mozuku during our beach parties where we would put shiikwaasaa juice or vinegar on them. Spaghetti from the sea!
Good morning Shinichi and Satoshi another beautiful day in Okinawa. Shopping 🛍 with the eyes 👀 is great on the wallet , and breakfast so good 👍. Poor Satoshi not feeling well at the time , but I'm glad he was able to enjoy the sites and eat . I always love your walking adventures thankyou .🦋
I've been enjoying your Okinawa videos a lot. I lived there for four very wonderful, very fast years. I want to try Po if my husband and I make it back that way for a visit. Only, I want to have the shrimp tempura one.
Will go to PO when we can travel to Okinawa. What’s the name of the restaurant that has the good Okinawan soba? You’re a great resource for places to see and eat.
The pandemic has claimed a lot of shops in Sydney, Australia. Sad to see stores shut but new ones are opening up. Get well Satoshi, i hope you feel better soon
Because I find rice much easier to digest than bread, I think I would get on well with onigiri. This onigiri looks simply fantastic! I think I would also absolutely love it. My only concern with Okinawa is that I don't cope at all well with humidity!! Oh dear, I sound like such a feeble Brit... lol.
Thank you for another Okinawa video. If I'm not mistaken, the reason a lot of the foliage reminds you of Hawaii is due to the after affects of WWII. Are you familiar with 'Pigs from the Sea'? I know there are some YT video's about it. It's how Hawaii's Okinawan community helped Okinawa by shipping a bunch of pigs on a boat. Because of WWII, they needed help to get pig farmers back on their feet. According to my uncle, the vegetation was also decimated and Hawaii also supplied a lot of that, too.
I am curious to understand the differences between "PO" and Musubi. Of course, fillings are different, the way the nori is used is also dufferent. But the pork, is it close to the usual Spam ? more sweet ? A different canned product, or a specific local recipe ? Is the rice seasonned differently ? Thanks for this nice discovery :-) Cheers to you both from Canada !
The one at this shop isn’t really a true onigiri. It’s what I’d call a rice sandwich. Nigiri in onigiri means to mold with the hands. The PO is constructed rather than molded. I’m not sure about what pork they use though. It could be spam. Also the rice is seasoned the same way as onigiri. Just a little bit of salt to taste.
Great video, nice onigiri. You mentioned CALAMANSI (locally called here in the Philippines as KALAMANSI) in your video. It is a staple here, for juice/refreshments and food additive/flavoring. I wonder where you tried it.
That's a lot of Shops Closed. Mean while where I live the Town is BOOMING. This Pandemic just slowed things down but Tons of new Restaurants and stores and Flats and Entertainment Venues went up. And it's a very small town only 100k people but we also got a lot of tourist types because of the Different Entertainment Venues, But I guess that's not like every city.
Shinichi-san, is the onigiri you ate in Naha already the best one there is in all of Japan? Recently I had my first taste of onigiri here in Manila through a local Family Mart store, and I immediately loved it. Arigato.
Yes, many shops have closed permanently because they lost so much income during the lockdown. We're still being careful because of the Delta strain, even with the 3 Covid shots (boosters are still available). I feel sad for the shops that had just opened briefly before lockdown, most of them didn't even had a chance. But now as things open up a little more, a few new shops have opened. During lockdown, we were encouraged to support the local stores and many eateries you could order food onlne (and some on the phone) and have it either delivered or you could go pick it up, couldn't go into the store though, they'd bring your food out to your car or out to you on the street. I hope the shop owners learned how to be creative and more open minded about how their businesses could be continued during unexpected events--they put up outdoor dining areas with the seating at least 6' apart. I have never liked crowds and will continue to avoid being in crowds whenever possible. Maybe of the food stores, like grocery stores, got into deliveries (for a fee) but the Japanese grocery stores never did and I missed being able to buy Japanese groceries over the past 2 years.
Hi Shinichi , Hi Satoshi, Glad to catch the Livestream today it cheered me up watching this as my car had broken down and was watching this while waiting on Breakdown Recovery 😂😂😂. Hope Satoshi is feeling better. Arigato 👍😀💪🙏
Nice vid, sadly some of the areas look kinda run down which actually shocked me a little bit when I went there for the first time but Okinawa is actually so beautiful and hast lots of great places.
Love your videos!! :) I would love to try the nigiri when I come to Okinawa, however, I am pescatarian, and so, I was wondering whether you can order the nigiri without the spam?
Hibiscus are of 2 types. The single then the cluster/ double. We call it gumamela in the Philippines🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽 It is also the favorite food of the turtoise. Just saying.
is that a spam onigiri sandwich (spam musubi)? okinawans like spam looks yummy. i like that they put vegs (like pickles) isnt mosuku slimy? is that a soup satoshis eating?
It definitely is an onigiri sandwich. The mozuku isn’t really as slimy as you’d think most likely because they’ve rinsed the sliminess off before putting it into the soup.

Your videos of you walking and satoshi cooking are so relaxing, Okinawa looks beautiful and perfect for vacation, hope Satoshi get well soon.
shinichi walking videos are the best; when i wake up there's a new video to have my coffee with and it's super relaxing.
Bitter melon is so healthy for you. Thanks for reminding me to eat some. Lemon allows the body to absorb the healthy benefits of green tea. Healthy Tabieats! Feel better Satoshi.
It looks really good. Lovely Hibiscus.

I love how you mix English and Japanese speaking sometimes, perfect for learners like me! Thanks 😊

Yeeees;i haven't eaten this, but because of Shinichi's vlogs it has become my favorite and something I looooook forward to eat someday
A variation of Spam musubi! Looks ono! Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼🌺🌈
ok I want to have what your having and that seaweed soup look so good :0, Thank you for such a wonderful vlog
Me too I especially wanted that!

Watching your videos is the closest thing to Japan for me....
I Soooo miss Japan
I just imagine myself going around Japan with you guys...
Satoshi, wishing you a speedy recovery. Awesome video! I tried making a simple version of the OPT at home
Sorry to hear Satoshi is not well. Sounds like what I had and my chiropracter helped me a lot with my problem. Might want to check into that.

Next time I have to try the kamanoko. I also love that your dad caught fresh mozuku. That’s amazing!
Have been enjoying the Okinawa series very much, thank you!
This was some great exploring.
Great video, you seem so happy here in Okinawa...I ADORE how sweet Satoshi finally perked up once he got that PO sandwich, lol.

Shinichi misses Hawaii for sure. You guys should come and stay a while. Make some more great Hawaii videos.
Love to watch sitoshi take a bite and say delish ❤️
Those Okinawan Spam, egg onigiris are amazing! Those alone are worth traveling to Okinawa for 👍
29 degrees Celsius is 84 degrees Fahrenheit, give or take. Okinawa is fairly equatorial.
Looks so good!
The side streets look confusing in Okinawa! The pork tamagotchi sandwich looked great!👍
I've been enjoying your Okinawa videos a lot. I lived there for four very wonderful, very fast years. I want to try Po if my husband and I make it back that way for a visit. Only, I want to have the shrimp tempura one.
You must come and visit again. We love Okinawa.

You guys are so funny. You make an old 81 year laugh. Coming through from VA in the US

The sidewalks are very cute
Rose of Sharon is a type of hibiscus.

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. Thank you
That thumbnail is very tempting. We got a cute half nekkid Asian man n food. Add in cats n butterflies n I’m set
Video quality is great..
You have to eat that bakuchen!!! That place is sooo Good!

I tried it in Manila when I visited a long time ago. Love the stuff

The one I had on this video isn’t really a true onigiri as it’s not molded but constructed into the final shape. I’d call this a rice sandwich
I love your shirt pattern has the same plant as the Onogiri shop. You know what that plant is?
Does Okinawa grow their own mangoes? I just don’t remember seeing mango trees there. I would have thought they were coming from PI.

The mozuku seaweed looks like “ogo” in Hawaii! We add it to namasu in Hawaii.
Hi Shinichi , Hi Satoshi, Glad to catch the Livestream today it cheered me up watching this as my car had broken down and was watching this while waiting on Breakdown Recovery 😂😂😂. Hope Satoshi is feeling better. Arigato 👍😀💪🙏
I hope your car is ok now
Karashina? Mustard greens.
Satoshi I hope you’re feeling better
Nice vid, sadly some of the areas look kinda run down which actually shocked me a little bit when I went there for the first time but Okinawa is actually so beautiful and hast lots of great places.
I just woke up! 5:30 am in California
What kind of camera u used for recording?
I used my GoPro for this one
@@Shinichisworld thank you
Love your videos!! :)
I would love to try the nigiri when I come to Okinawa, however, I am pescatarian, and so, I was wondering whether you can order the nigiri without the spam?
Ahhhh. Unfortunately all of the choices include spam here. There are places in Okinawa where you can buy onigiri without the spam though.
@@Shinichisworld thank you :)
Awesome job bro
I'm starving!!!!!
Musubi?
wow they have a seating area now!
Yes! I love that
@@Shinichisworld yess it's so nice~~ thanks for replying!
Hibiscus are of 2 types. The single then the cluster/ double. We call it gumamela in the Philippines🇸🇽🇸🇽🇸🇽 It is also the favorite food of the turtoise. Just saying.
is PO the same as POTAMA in Waikiki?
Yes it is
I thought Snoopy's snurf shop was the highlight..... ;)
I checked the place out on Google maps and the name there is 'Pork Tamago Onigiri Honten'.
Ahhh thank you
Definitely, a hibiscus.
2:47 Of course you're hungry. You're approaching a McDonald's. :3
Aloha!
I hope Satoshi's OK.
Sorry Shinichi with the time change it seems all mods didn’t make your premiere! Gomenasai!
Ahhh that’s ok. I figured that’s what happen d
@@Shinichisworld un fortunately we are all in the same time zone except Merry Christmas.
Yeh they really get into the graffiti there in Okinawa!!!!🤙🌈
Audio, kiddo. Watch your audio.
is that a spam onigiri sandwich (spam musubi)? okinawans like spam looks yummy. i like that they put vegs (like pickles) isnt mosuku slimy? is that a soup satoshis eating?
It definitely is an onigiri sandwich. The mozuku isn’t really as slimy as you’d think most likely because they’ve rinsed the sliminess off before putting it into the soup.
@@Shinichisworld I’m going to look for mozuko in the US. Looks delicious!
