Returned to Taketomi island for a festival in which almost all residents took part. Most lodgings were closed for 2 or 3 days. When I was here previously the streets were almost empty of residents (but absolutely full of day-trippers), today they were all outside watching traditional performances throughout the day. If you want to see a high concentration of healthy elderly Japanese just come to Okinawa.
Typical Okinawan food stands because restaurants were closed during the festival. Besides, there are about 3 restaurants on the island serving lunch only.
I got a few things from the stand above. Sticky rice needed a chainsaw to cut through.
Where I sat to eat my lunch on my last day in Okinawa and started planning my next holidays.
Lunches at home:
Tamari marinated trout roe on soft tofu (soba not shown).
