7-Eleven

Since Japan is home to some of the richest, tastiest, most unique dishes in the world, eating out over here can be an amazing experience.

Oct. 17 is “Okinawa Soba Day.” It is a day when the local food earned its title. In 1976, the fair-trade commission argued that Okinawa Soba doesn’t deserve to be called Soba, which means buckwheat in Japanese.

While many of your go-to restaurants for hot wings, a familiar game-day favorite, like Buffalo Wild Wings or Hoo ters, may not yet have a home in Okinawa, there is no need to feel disappointed. Wing King is here to help with those spicy cravings.

Packed with seasonal goodies and nutrition-rich foods such as almonds and olive oil, this is the smoothie for autumn! Because the pumpkin was organic, this recipe leaves the skin unpeeled—but you can opt to take it off.

This amazing pumpkin bread recipe comes courtesy of Brittany Crider, and is a beloved family favorite that she and her sister used to make with her grandmother.

Japanese food is absolutely amazing, but it’s also completely different in taste, presentation, and texture from dishes in many Western countries.
