Come by this. Cheers. [Music] Mike. So we we have um kind of very unique system here. Um we call it senbero system. So sbero means like a sen is like a thousand yen and b means get drunk. Means like s,000 yen get drunk. So it’s kind of very um simple systems just like we give the,000 yen for the stuff and they’ll give us three tokens like this. So, we can get three drinks with only 1,000 yen. Three drinks. Yeah. And one food. One food. Three drinks. 5,000 yen. We can get We’re going to about to kill the first drink for the night. You know what? Like, you know, those are like a menu like including sos. So you can uh choose a variety of the drinks. So you never ever get sick of this restaurant for sure. This is my second beer in Okinawa. So, this is the uh the last drink out here. I mean, like a third drink for tonight. And I already feel kind of tipsy. We’re going to finish up the third drink. [Music] So good. Third drink done. We’re going to go next place. Let’s go. So, still the bread out here, but it’s actually uh Wait, hold on. 6 6:30. I mean, when you’re in trouble, like when you’re on a trip, you know, time flies so fast, so you got to enjoy as much as you can. So, you start you have to start drinking kind of all the time. You know, it’s going to be super long. We have lot of aamorei in this restaurant. What is aamorei by the way? Aamorei is like um like like okina sake. Mhm. Can I say and then it’s kind of very let me say very strong and it has very like a smell like smell is kind of strong and yeah strong but Okino people love to drink this one. It’s like a it’s like a Korean soju. It’s kind of strong but smells not good. So in this box we have like a beginner one and uh intermediate one and master one. So Shaw ordered beginner one. Beginner. Okay. I ordered master one cuz I’m local. You know that’s true. That’s that is true. So let’s see. So we get to stick on the water and which is very traditional like style of like cows in Okinawa. And uh you know Hixan ordered for me like aamorei which is like traditional like okinaw’s uh drink made from rice maybe rice t rice actually t rice yeah since it’s beginner and aamore has like um only flavor and uh it’s really difficult to explain in in English but um it’s more like you know the you got to try by yourself. But I always explain like a whiskey. Oh yeah, whiskey. Yeah, kind of smokeoky. Kind of smokeoky. Can I try yours? Yeah, go ahead. So, I’m going to skip intermediate and try mustard. It’s strong. How How many percentage of alcohol? It’s about like uh but still like 35 35 or 40. So it’s more like a whiskey. Mine is like a 44. Oh, this is 44. That’s a hick drinks. Still shows has 25. It’s like a wine. 25. Still uh 620. I’m going to try like sea grape um dip in a sauce. This is the pork rib um stew. Stew pork rib. Wow. And um um this is like a taste like like it’s very this is one of like a very Okinawan food. And then it has like a soy sauce um and um fish broth and Okinawan sake. And then they this restaurant they boil this one 10 hours every day. So it’s very tender. Very tasty. Thank you for explanation. By the way, I finished on my first. No, you don’t have to like catch up with me, but like I want to order. Oh. Oh. So, I want to try intermediate. So, can you order for me? Okay. So, look at this huge chunk of like pork. It’s really soft and it’s like um the onion on on on top. I’m going to put a little Japanese mustard on it. [Music] So, this is our six. This our second drink out here. What’s up? [Music] So I got a intermediate one. What’s up? Oh, it’s actually definitely stronger than like um the bean one, but um the flavor itself is kind of dry and u the almond itself has like specific flavor to it. But this one is I think it like kind of smooth kind of kind of smooth. This is This one is sweet potato kro. Sweet potato koki mast in Okinawa. Everybody love this one. Everybody. It’s a different from like a normal potato and it’s really um the rich and also like a sweetness but it’s not sugar sweetness. It’s actually the potato itself sweetness in it. Really good. And it’s not that heavy. Love it. Look at this. So churu choo. Maywa we finished like our second drink here like this is in so we’re going to go up to the master level and I asked him to water more stronger and more flavorful one you know like you know I really feel it and you guys can tell I got a fl you guys can tell like I get the my face turn into red it’s strong so when you drink a definitely get a water too guys so this is our third alamorei in here so in total like Six. Six drink. Six. So this is masa orange one. It’s like kind of strong one by the I like this. [Music] This is kind of better. Drink is wow. My face is turn into [ __ ] face. If you like kind of smoky whiskey and a more flavorful drink, this is the thing. This is your thing. It’s a terishima. Terishima, which is the ali name. So if you want to try like a smoky and a more flavorful one, you got to try a tourist. Well, it’s actually the the flavor itself is really good, but when you get like in drink, you’ll feel it. It’s really strong. But I mean like a taste not bad. It’s not I mean like you know taste is really good. It’s like very rich. Yeah, it’s rich. Very strong. So, like I explained, uh you don’t have to drink like a on the rock. So, you can actually order cocktail. This one is what I made of it. We uh it has peach with peach. Mango. Mango. Blue. Blue. What? Blue. Blue. I don’t know what that is. Dangerous. And my cocktail has banana, mango, and orange. I think you don’t feel that. No, it’s definitely This is dangerous. It’s actually really good. Really good. It’s like going down too smooth. Well, but it has like, you know, a so. And it doesn’t it doesn’t taste like any alcohol in it. So dangerous. [Music] So, we just done a second place and uh you know Higson’s going to take me to the other uh bar. Third bar. The third bar. What kind of place we going to go into? Next place we can we can get um like a Okinawan music life. Oh, has like a three strings guitar. Oh, yeah. And the drums. Nice. Never been there before. Yeah. Well, actually in the second place the uh you know the Okinawa uh cuisine place that was really good really good but yeah that was really tasty but I mean it’s really popular place it’s really hard to make a reservation so I think and I hard it’s really hard to make a reservation and also even the first part I couldn’t find by by myself and I thought about that he’s going to take to the Okinawan music bar which I wouldn’t buy by by myself. So want to say is you need a tour guide. You definitely need a tour guide. [Laughter] So you have to definitely check out. Okay. Please. Okay. So let’s go next place. So this is the last bar. Uhhuh.

  1. The beaches are beautiful, the water like crystal clear bath water. It's a beautiful place, or at least that is what I remember from a very short passing through as a young man in the 90s.

  2. Guys! In English we have a drinking rhyme, and it goes like this, "Liquor before beer; never fear. Beer before liquor; never been sicker."

  3. I also thought awamori had whisky vibes. I found it too strong to drink straight, so I added soda water (I also do this with whisky).

  4. Do the bars have bathrooms? Are there many public bathrooms? If I drink that much beer I'm peeing about every 20 minutes LOL. I love your country, would love to live there as an expat.
