If you’re a Japanese food fan, you may have heard of okonomiyaki; a Korean food afficionado—chijimi. But Okinawa also has its own version: hirayachi.
In Japan, everybody loves noodles, and Okinawans are no different. In fact, they’ve got their own regional strand of the classic Asian cuisine – Okinawa soba. It’s not only a local favorite, but the dish of choice for many visitors who come in search of a true taste of Okinawa.
Umukuji tempura, or umukuji andagi, is an Okinawan snack food commonly sold at local supermarkets.
In recent years the deliciousness of Japanese fruit has been attracting attention overseas. Among the sought-after fruits, melons have gained popularity as a high-class fruit.
Much like Angadi how is dubbed the “Okinawan doughnut,” “Sanguwachi Guwashi (sweets of March)” should be called the “Okinawan financier” in my opinion.
The season for the year’s first batches of green tea is upon us, and there are many ways to enjoy it.
Want to have some fun in the kitchen?
Ochazuke is a simple dish consisting of tea poured over rice, but that’s where its simplicity ends. A cafe near the Sunabe Seawall serves up this comforting dish and plenty more.
In Japan, rice has a rich history which dates back over 2000 years. It’s a staple in many traditional dishes and has become an important part of Japanese food culture.
The French have their wine, you can’t get more American than beer and everybody knows Japan is all about the sake, right?
Quickly grabbed after work and casually enjoyed with some coworkers or friends: the chūhai is a canned alcoholic drink that traditionally is a shōchū (distilled alcohol) highball.
Like many other western food imports, Japan certainly puts its own unique spin on pizza, creating pies that are curiously delicious!
I love pugs. They are my favorite loaves of snoring, drooling, and heavy shedding fur animals.
This has been a trying year in many ways, but one bright spot has been all the specialty tastes that have been released for our favorite Japanese snacks and treats!
