Onna no Eki Nakayukui Market – Okinawa Journeys
This popular roadside station in Okinawa Prefecture is highly sought after. In addition to local vegetables, fruits, and flowers, they also offer a variety of specialty products that you can't find anywhere else. Their eat-in area is also always very popular, featuring original dishes that are unique to this location.
After changing from my wedding dress to my casual clothes, it was already noon! I was hungry… so I went to Onna no Eki to have lunch. Among the food stalls lined up side by side, Choro immediately found the Sarta Andagi stall and headed straight there! “I’ll make this as a souvenir for my friend,” he said, grabbing a large homemade Andagi. I feel like I might end up eating it all before I can take it back to Tokyo, but I hope my friends can all share it. Tooto ordered the musukuman that she “noticed” and brought it around to everyone for tasting. At lunchtime, she ordered Okinawa soba and ate it in the restaurant. The pleasant breeze also went away.
Since we have to move around quickly, we’ll take a quick tour of the crowded market. There are a variety of vegetables made by local farmers in the vegetable section. They all look very healthy and delicious after being exposed to the sun in Okinawa. With the slogan “Bring your own vegetables!” in mind, the three of us grabbed our own vegetables. It’s amazing that each of them looks so beautiful (laughs). There are so many things that would make a great souvenir, so I really wanted to take my time seeing everything, but now it’s time to get on our way! Next we’ll head to the Ryukyu Mura to experience the Okinawa charm other than weddings!
