It is the kitchen of the Uchinanchu (Okinawan people), with colorful fish, island vegetables that convey the energy of the land, pork of various parts, and other foods unique to Okinawa. The market, which has a long history with its roots in the postwar black market, is currently undergoing renovation due to aging buildings and continues to operate in temporary facilities.

Even though the market is temporary, the diverse selection of goods, the old-fashioned relative sales, and the cheerful appearance of the shopkeepers, including the old ladies, remain as they were before. The "lifting" system, where you can have the fish and meat you buy at the market cooked and eaten in the cafeteria on the second floor, is still alive and well.

If you want to take your time to browse, go in the morning when the market is relatively empty. If you want to experience the lively atmosphere of the market, go in the afternoon or evening. You will feel much closer to Okinawa if you enjoy interacting with the shopkeepers while looking at foodstuffs you would not normally encounter when shopping. If the shopkeeper gives you an extra treat when you pay your bill, you are already an expert in Okinawan travel.

Highlights

  • "Lifting" where fish and meat you buy can be cooked in the second-floor cafeteria (cooking fee not included).
  • The traditional relative selling is a fun way of communicating with the shopkeepers.
  • There are many hidden stores around the market. It is even more fun to take a stroll around the market.
