Makishi Public Market, located in Naha City, started as a gathering place for local merchants dealing with contraband goods right after the end of WWII. Since its official inception in 1950, it has been serving local residents with necessary provisions from fresh produce to fish and meat.
Visiting the market is one of the best and fun ways to learn about Okinawa’s food culture. It is also a great place to get lost, talk to the locals, and learn about Okinawan ways of life. Here, Mr. Goeku from the restaurant “Taste of Okinawa” guides us to the Market and shows us ingredients essential for Okinawan cooking.

那覇市にある牧志公設市場は、戦後闇市から始まった。1950年の開設後、沖縄の人々の台所となってきた。市場を訪れることで、沖縄の食文化を垣間見ることができる。また、地元の人と会話したり、ひと時沖縄の時間に触れたりすることができる場所でもある。 “Taste of Okinawa” の護得久氏が公設市場を案内し、沖縄料理に使われる食材を解説する。
