Okinawan drinks and desserts

 

You can wash it all down with the local drink: Awamori, Okinawan rice wine with 30% alcohol content.

For a sweet snack, try sata andagi, Okinawa's round donuts made with cane sugar from the region.

Finally, enjoy tropical fruits such as the famous Okinawa pineapple.
