Okinawa Kokusai Street - Island Shabushabu NAKAMA

It's the last day of the trip, and this meal is the one I've been looking forward to the most—trying Ishigaki beef! I've heard so much about it, but this is my first time actually tasting it. It's not easy to find Ishigaki beef outside of Okinawa, so I had to seize the opportunity. This time, we enjoyed it as Japanese hot pot. Just a quick dip for the Ishigaki beef, and it's ready to eat. The meat is incredibly tender and flavorful, with a rich beef taste. Absolutely delicious! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.
