Okinawa Ichiba

There is a meat and seafood market area (Ichiba) in the arcade from Kokusai Dori in Okinawa and it is just fun looking around everything. You can actually buy seafood and they’ll make sashimi or they’ll cook it and you can eat it right away in upstairs. We tried Ise Ebi and all sorts of fishes (including the blue one!) as sashimi!

They are alive:

OK, Okinawa people eat so much pork and there was a whole meat market here, too, but after seeing this… we weren’t sure if we wanted to go that way:

They love pork.
