Come to Okinawa, eat beautiful meals with interesting people, and visit fun shops

Come to Kokusai Street in Okinawa, the primary task is to shop and eat. Let me recommend a few divine little shops I've visited! ✨Gourmet Section 👉Ryukyu no Gyu When in Okinawa, how can you not try the authentic Ishigaki beef? Just look at the distinct marbling to know the meat quality is exceptional. It's tender and juicy, and they even provide a Chinese menu, how considerate! 👉Shima Shabu Shabu NAKAMA Compared to Ishigaki beef, I recommend the Agu black pork here. The portions are generous, the meat is full and absorbs the sweetness of the broth, very authentic. Additionally, their pork patties are also quite delicious. 👉Pork Tamago Onigiri A popular rice ball in Okinawa, there's always a long line of tourists every time I pass by. Their pork and egg rice ball is quite solid, one is enough to fill you up, making it suitable for breakfast. 👉Blue Seal High in appearance and taste, the sea salt ice cream is especially popular. It's big, with a rich milky flavor and a slight salty taste, perfect for summer. 👉Nanmura A ramen recommended by locals, it's said that the broth is made from pork bones simmered for 20 hours, no wonder it tastes so fragrant. The owner is also generous with the ingredients, the large pieces of char siu are very appetizing. ✨Shopping Section 👉Toys "R" Us A shopping paradise where kids don't want to leave once they enter, the variety of toys is extraordinary. Just the Pikachu products alone are dazzling. Additionally, educational toys suitable for 0-3 year-old babies are worth buying. 👉Nishimatsuya A one-stop flagship store for mother and baby products, from diapers to strollers, everything is available, making it suitable for moms to shop. Plus, with the current depreciation of the yen, it's even more cost-effective to shop here. 👉Stussy A local trendy clothing store with reasonable prices. Their clothes not only come in various styles but are also very comfortable to wear. The staff are also very friendly, and I bought several pieces here.

Okinawa, Japan | Kokusai-dori: The Largest Awamori Specialty Shop, the Aroma of the Island's Soul Walking along Kokusai-dori, you'll discover more than just souvenir shops and the charming figures of shisa dogs. There's also a profound atmosphere woven into the fabric—Okinawa's soulful spirit, Awamori. Nestled on the street, boasting what's billed as the largest Awamori specialty shop on Kokusai-dori, it's a treasure trove for travelers appreciating both sake and culture. The dazzling array of bottles lining the shelves is dazzling: from classic clear bottles to aged vintages sealed in ceramic jars, each one tells a different story. Some are limited editions from small local breweries, while others boast centuries-old traditions. The staff will enthusiastically explain the different alcohol strengths, flavor profiles, and how they pair well with Okinawan cuisine. The most captivating section is the "Kusu" section, where bottles of Awamori, quietly aged for years, gleam golden in color, exude a subtle woody aroma and the richness of time. For travelers, buying a bottle to take home is not only a souvenir, but also brings the island atmosphere of Okinawa back into daily life.

Okinawa, Japan | Smiling Shisa dogs: The epitome of the island's soul The soul of Okinawa, which I described last time, is now encountered again on a street corner. It's not found in books or distant legends, but in the faces of these smiling Shisa dogs, right before the eyes of travelers. Some of these Shisa dogs sit on rooftops, grinning broadly in the sea breeze; others stand guard at shop doors, their eyes warm, as if saying "Welcome back" to every passerby. A smile is both a protection and a strength. It reveals that the soul of Okinawa isn't a cold, majestic presence, but an optimism imbued with the sea breeze, an attitude that smiles at hardship and embraces life. As I stood on Kokusai-dori, gazing at the row of colorful Shisa dogs, I knew: This is Okinawa at its truest. The island's soul, like these smiling Shisa dogs, forever displays a smile, protecting us and touching the hearts of every traveler.
