Today we ventured to Ryukyu Mura which they originally compared to Polynesian Cultural Center, but really itʻs a lot more similar to the Plantation Village in Waipahu. It was really nice to be able to hear different music and see dance, as well as other interesting points of Okinawa. The weather held up today perfectly as it was overcast, it rained during lunch (while we were undercover) and then we had enough of a break that we could also go to a Cape with a lighthouse that we climbed for a mere 200 yen and got a great view of the Ocean and the cliffs.
One thing that I noticed today was that the Okinawan people are extremely nice! Well, Iʻm basing that off of essentially 2 people that I met today but it was really very pleasant. We went to the village and I began talking to this Okinawan lady about a soup that she let me try. Because we got to know each other, I boldly asked if she had any recommendations on where we could get good Shoyu Pork.
Did you know that they donʻt really have it as like an exclusively sold dish? The ladies said most people in Okinawa just make it at home. I feel like thatʻs the signature Okinawan dish in the minds of people of Hawaiʻi.
Iʻm on a mission to eat Shoyu Pork.
