Okinawa Cuisine, Japan - Eric Meal Time #408

Japan's southernmost prefecture of Okinawa has its own unique food culture, the result of both its location and complex history. The islands that make up Okinawa were once part of an independent state called the Ryukyu Kingdom, which reigned from the 15th to 19th century.
The kingdom was an important trading hub linking China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia. All those gastronomic influences helped form the cuisine that's still served in Okinawa restaurants today.
From China came pork. Like the Chinese, Okinawans famously use every part of the pig "except for its squeal."
Contact with Southeast Asia brought fruits, vegetables and spices commonly associated with the islands.
