Amazing Japan Street Food Fish Market Tour in Okinawa

Aug 19 (Paolo fromTOKYO) - Japanese Street Food at Fish Market and Public Market in Okinawa Japan. This is a street food tour of Makishi Public Market, also known as Okinawa’s kitchen.

This Japanese market is full of colorful tropical fish, tropical fruits, and all sorts of delicious food you can only find in Okinawa. The island of course is surrounded by ocean which naturally lends itself to extremely fresh seafood and because of this it's one of my favorite Japan home away from home destinations. It’s only about a 15 mins drive from Naha Airport and is located in the Kokusai Dori area. It’s easy to miss the entrance, so make sure to find the small alley, Ichiba HonDori, to find this somewhat hidden market. Started as a black market in the post-war era, its now run by the city since 1950. It has a brand new facade from a recent renovation, but you can still feel the history when talking to people inside of the market. One of my absolute favorites about this spot, is that food you purchase at the market on the 1st floor can be taken up to the 2nd floor restaurants to be freshly cooked called mochiage, which I’ll be gladly showing you today.
