Uchina Gummy
"Gumminchu"

Gummies have become very popular in recent years. Okinawa's "Guminchu" comes in local flavors such as Okinawa pineapple flavor, Okinawa shekwasha (Taiwanese tangerine) flavor, and Okinawa acerola flavor, making it the perfect souvenir.

The jellylike texture is irresistible. You can easily buy it at supermarkets and convenience stores in town.

 

Limited to Ishigaki Island, "Genki Cool Gummy"

I would like to introduce another gummy here.

Genki Cool, a popular product from Yaeyama Genki Dairy, the southernmost dairy company in Japan on Ishigaki Island, is now available in gummy form.

When you open the inside, the scent of rich yogurt rises. The taste is mild and small children can also enjoy.

Introducing the Okinawa limited version
"Okinawa Menbei (Rafute Flavor & Shikuwasa)"


"Menbei", which is a big hit as a souvenir from Fukuoka, is now available in an Okinawa-only version, "Okinawa Menbei (rafute-flavored & with shikuwasa)"!

The seafood flavor of squid, octopus, and mentaiko is combined with the flavors of rafute (bone pork rib meat) and shekwasha, making this noodle dish the more you eat it, the more you can enjoy the taste of the ingredients.

The package is inspired by the refreshing and clear blue sea of Okinawa.

It's so addictive! "Kappa Ebisen Island Red Pepper Flavor"

We recommend the Okinawa-exclusive “Kappa Ebisen Island Red Pepper Flavor” to accompany your memories of your trip to Okinawa. It is a product that allows you to enjoy the unique savory and spicy flavor of island chili peppers from Okinawa Prefecture.

Honestly, it's so delicious. It's also great as an appetizer with beer. It is a product that I would like you to purchase if you find it.

I ate it every day for three days during my stay.

"Calbee Potato Chips Okinawa Shekwasha Flavor"


We also recommend Okinawa's original potato chips, "Calbee Potato Chips Okinawa Shekwasha Flavor."

There are two flavors, the refreshing shekuwasha flavor and the spicy taco rice flavor.
This product is recommended for snacks.
