[18 selections] You can buy them all at Naha Airport! Souvenirs you definitely want to buy when you go to Okinawa!

Summer vacation will start soon this year, but should we go on a trip this year? Isn't there a lot of people who are thinking about it? The other day, I went on a trip to Okinawa after having a good night earlier.

So this time, we will introduce Okinawan souvenirs that you can buy at Naha Airport. We have narrowed down the selection to 3 points: "Available at the airport", "Easy to buy in bulk", and "Affordable price". Please use it as a reference.

If you want to buy chinsuko, this is the place to go!
"Aragaki Kami Sweets Shop"

Arakaki Kami Sweets Shop

Among the many types of chinsuko, the one you should try is Arakaki Kami Kashiten, which has a store near Shurijo Castle. Since its founding, it has been handcrafted one by one, following the royal family's traditional confectionery manufacturing method.

"Chinsuko", which has been handed down from 200 years ago, has a crispy and light texture, but also has a moist and elegant taste. It seems that they are particular about ingredients such as chicken eggs, wheat, sugar, and lard.

One more, one more and my hands will grow. It is also a nice point that it lasts for a long time.

We also recommend the “Hana Ball,” a sweet that has been handed down by the Ryukyu royal family and has beautiful flower patterns cut into each piece. Before Shurijo Castle was destroyed by fire, it was served at the tea ceremony "Susanoma".

The characteristic of court sweets is that they use plenty of eggs, white sugar, and lard. This flower ball is also made by craftsmen while preserving the traditional manufacturing method.

By all means, please try to eat not only chinsuko but also other traditional Okinawan sweets.

*A portion of the sales will be donated to the Shurijo Castle Reconstruction Donation.

Check out other chinsuko!

In Okinawa, each manufacturer sells a wide variety of chinsuko. Let's check other chinsuko.

Arakaki Chinsuko Honpo is a long-established chinsuko store. Arakaki Kashiten was founded in 1908 by Yoshiyasu Arakaki, the third generation descendant of Yoshinori Arakaki, who served as the last chef at Shurijo Castle. Chinsuko is so popular that it is sold at airports and antenna shops, mainly on Kokusai Street.

Fukugiya, a Baumkuchen specialty store born in Okinawa

Whenever I visit Okinawa, I always buy the baumkuchen from Fukugiya. Using plenty of carefully selected ingredients such as brown sugar, red sweet potato, honey, and eggs nurtured by the land and sea of Okinawa, the dough is carefully baked in more than 20 layers.

The soft texture and moist sweetness will make you want to eat it again and again. There is a branch in Naha Airport. At the airport, only the S size is available, so if you want a larger size, we recommend purchasing at other stores.

You can buy Royce even in Okinawa! "Royce Ishigaki"

Royce Confect Co., Ltd., a chocolate maker in Hokkaido, uses ingredients from Okinawa to create Royce Ishigakijima, a brand that delivers a variety of chocolates and baked goods using recipes unique to Royce.

All of them are excellent, such as "brown sugar chocolate" using brown sugar from Iriomote Island and Kohama Island, and "Ishigaki Salt Chocolate" with Ishigaki salt sprinkled on the back of a chocolate bar with a rich milk flavor.

It has a high rarity and is a gem that is sure to please as a souvenir.
