When the world – Okinawa Journeys
When you come to Okinawa, I want to eat delicious pork! Recently, there are a lot of brand pork too, so the pork in Okinawa is really delicious! Each brand of pork has its own unique flavor, but if you want to try the best of the best, go for the red pork. Give it a try!
We arrived in Okinawa around noon, ate Okinawa soba in Itoman, and made Okinawa glass at the Okinawa Glass Village. This was a half-day plan to enjoy Okinawa to the fullest. I fell asleep a little while in the car on the way to Naha, but that recharged my energy! It was already getting dark and it was time for dinner. Tonight we are going to eat delicious Okinawa pork. The brand pork I chose is the red pork from the long-established tonkatsu shop Mai-In in Aoyama, Tokyo. It has been highly recommended, and we will have it in shabu-shabu. The real flavor of pork comes from the fat, and they say that the pork with its special ingredients is good for the body. It is said that the Okinawa grandma’s skin is beautiful because of the pork fat and collagen!
Looking at the menu, there are many other Okinawan dishes I want to try. First, I ordered mimigaru while checking to see which part of the pig it was. The other things that caught my attention were the peach blossoms and the croquettes. According to Momiji and Kuro, they want to buy peach blossoms as a souvenir. Then there’s the island radish. All of them are delicious! As we were enjoying this, the shabu-shabu set was prepared and we all had shabu-shabu. The restaurant also recommended that you start with a salty broth, so I ordered a bit of the island salt. “It’s delicious!” Everyone has a very happy smile. It’s a wonderful feeling to eat delicious food.
What really got everyone excited this time was the story of "Aino Rii." It’s a familiar story, but for the three of us, it might actually be still going on right now. It feels like a special friendship is brewing between the three of us who traveled together on "Aino Rii" at the same time. Okinawa trip, while reaffirming that friendship is the best thing in the world, also brings out the romance in the stories of the men. After finishing the shabu-shabu, we decided to have the hotpot served to us by an uncle. The red pork hotpot, which has no distinct smell of pork, is really delicious! Everyone was very satisfied.
So, tomorrow we finally have the chance to experience the Okinawa resort wedding experience! You can actually attend the actual ceremony, wear a dress, and have your photos taken. Don’t overeat (lol).
