Make sure you come to the Festival ready to eat - because there's a lot of delicious Okinawan delights to choose from, including:
ANDAGI The andagi, or Okinawan doughnut, is an all-around Festival favorite. Basic doughnut ingredients, such as sugar, flour, milk and eggs, are mixed into a batter and deep-fried in hot oil. The hand "dropping" of evenly rounded scoops of batter into the hot oil is a show in itself.
ANDADOG The Okinawan version of the corndog. The andadog is a whole hot dog on a stick that is dipped into andagi batter and deep fried.
CHAMPURU PLATE If you love Okinawan food, you'll love this healthy plate: Vegetables and agedofu (deep-fried tofu) are mixed together champuru-style, stir-fried and then served with hot rice, delicious shoyu pork, and a pork and miso garnish called andamisu.
OKI DOG A hotdog and chili are wrapped in a soft tortilla with shredded shoyu pork and lettuce.
OKINAWA SOBA Okinawan-style soba noodles served in hot soup and garnished with kamaboko (fishcake), shoyu pork, green onions and red ginger.
