Sashimi and Sushi in Okinawa is very tasty!
There are many types of fish you don't really get to see in Tokyo.
Be sure to go to the fish market.
The market? - They have a variety of fish there
It's a lot of fun to go there and they all look tasty!
Okay the fish auction has started now! Wow.
Many of you might know about the famous fish markets, for example Tsukiji Fish market
If you come to Okinawa you need to go and see one of the fish markets here
Because the fish are so colorful, because obviously tropical region.
You get to see very different types of fish and have a real glimpse into Japanese culture
The Fishermen have brought in the fish and they look so different
from what you'd be able to see in Tokyo
We will have a look around and see what exciting and tropical fish we can find here.
If you come here early in the morning you'll be able to see another spectacle
and that's right here. The fish auction is gonna start soon.
Restaurant and shop owners from the local regions
are coming here to bid for the fish they like so
the fresh fish that you see here will be fresh on the plate in a few minutes
in some kind of restaurants and other places
So let's check that out.
Okay the fish auction has started now and it's already quite passionate
It goes really quickly as well.
They announce the prices and who gets the fish gets to take it home.
1000, 1400, ....
Wow.
850 for this
The fish goes to you.
Starts at 1000
500, 800, done.
It's very cool to see everyone so passionately bid for it.
Once they get the fish you can see that they put a paper on top.
The paper displays the amount that it's sold for and it also has a symbol
which symbolizes which place it goes for. Might be a restaurant, might be a shop.
So they put that on top of the fish
So you can see where it goes to afterwards and who needs to pay up for it.
It goes so quickly as well.
200 done
There are different ways of catching fish. For example via a net
or a spear and you just stab the fish.
If you stab the fish in the right place it will not disturb the pattern of the fish.
The fish will still look pretty which means the price is higher
than one that got stabbed in the side and you can see that it's wounded on the side
That apparently also decided how much the fish can go for in the end.
The red fish here in the middle is apparently quite rare so I wonder...
how much that will go for. Quite a lot of people have been eyeing that red fish before.
Everyone is quite excited about that. How much does this go for?
(Big fish 6000, small red fish 7000)
1200 and done.
Thank you.
You could see that was a fierce battle for the best and freshest fish.
in the most vibrant colors. I have never seen fish in these colors
except for maybe in an aquarium.
You can actually go and try these ones here (in Okinawa) and again
the colorful paper indicates which place it goes to
The other paper indicates the price of it as well.
So these ones are gonna go and get onto the plate as quickly as possible
So they taste the freshest and the best.
It hasn't even been five minutes since the auction ended
but already all the fish are gone
The restaurant owners and other people have collected the fish and brought them
out so they can get served as freshly as possible.
If you actually live in Singapore or in Thailand, you might have the pleasure
to eat Okinawan fish because some of the fish here are gonna get packed up
cooled and get send to those countries.
So you might be lucky and have fresh Okinawan fish on your plate.
We got a special guest. Please introduce yourself.
I am the reginal president and CEO of Kizasu, my name it Goto Daisuke.
So what do you do at Kizatsu?
Kizatsu is a company of Okinawa.
We work with Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand
and we send them our fresh fish from Okinawa.
So you ship the fish as freshly as possible.
We get lots of foreign visitors here in Okinawa,
How about okinawan fish for foreigners?
The fish here in Okinawa, some people in mainland Japan even don't know.
People from Asian countries however, might have seen some.
and we make it possible for them to enjoy these.
We also fish them differently here. We don't grab them all in a big net.
we fish them out carefully one by one.
That's a generally used technique here.
Also some dive and catch them that way.
We don't fish in large amount, but we fish for quality.
Another thing to preserve the quality of the fish,
we will put it on soft sponge mats on the boats.
And then draw the fish there.
And that's how we keep the freshness of the fish.
So the way you fish is also different from mainland Japan.
Yes it is.
There are more planes that come from out into Okinawa these days
as well, so if you come to Okinawa, be sure to try some of the really fresh fish here.
It looks really good and it tastes really good.
What I find really interesting to see is how
they value freshness so much over everything
Like I said, it's already gone. People washed the fish and took it straight out.
So maybe you might be eating that soon.
Could you tell us what you're doing?
I work at the restaurant UOTOMO my name is Tatsumi Yogi.
The bidding for the fish was on fire! Is it always like that?
It's always quite like this.
- It looked to me like a fierce battle. - I guess it is.
Everyone is really focused.
I heard depending on where you stab the fish, the price changes?
You mean the fish?
Depending on where you stab the fish, the blood will flow.
If you stab it right, the color of the meat will be more beautiful.
For example it will stay all pure white.
Thanks for explaining that to us!
Could you introduce yourself?
I am the charirman of the Naha Coastal Fisherman's Cooperative, My name is Sakihara.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for letting me have a look at your fish market.
Is it always just like this?
Yeah it's pretty much really like this.
We do allow normal visitors to view the spectacle.
time wise, we also start at 8,
while other fish markets start at 5 in the morning.
Oh early.
Once that market is over, we start our fish market here.
We do it in a different style.
What's special to our fish market is...
We specialize in deep sea fish.
They are super fresh.
The fish that have just been caught will be here in the morning.
I think their quality is really good.
Can foreigners and tourists come and view the auction too?
Everyone is welcome to see the fish market. We welcome guests.
Feel free to contact us beforehand.
What's different between fish in Tokyo and in Okinawa?
The fish of Tokyo, or generally mainland Japan...
have been fished from colder waters. In Okinawa they are warm water fish.
For people in the main island of japan hardly see those tropical fish there.
They have a different coloring, do they also taste differently?
They are said to be less fatty than other fish.
Good for the female waistline.
They said in recent studies, the protein and fat of fish are good for health.
In winter, there are many fatty fish in okinawa and they are very tasty.
Are there some fish you can ONLY get in Okinawa?
Ao-budai is a fish you can only get here in Okinawa is what I think.
Is the Ao-budai the blue fish I saw? - Exactly.
The big blue one with the ridge at the head. That's the Aobudai.
There was also a red fish, if you saw it.
It's called Sujiara and a very high grade fish of Okinawa.
Everyone was really eager to get it into their hands.
Today there was only one so everyone was passionate about it
and it sold for a good price.
The tuna left to it was three times as big but still made less
The red one was a lot more pricey.
Tuna is easier to catch.
Sujiwara you can't really catch in large amounts.
It has a nice amount of fats in the meat.
It's very popular.
In Okinawa we have a special way to eat fish too.
We eat fish differently compared to mainland Japan.
We add a Miso flavor taste to it.
Or add it to miso soup.
In Miso soup?
We use the fish flavor in Miso soup or
or pickle it with salt.
Those are some ways of eating them.
Thanks for telling us! - Thank you too.
That was it here from the Fish market in Naha!
I must say I was very glad I got to see the auction.
Usually with other fish markets you can visit the market,
But you can't see the auction. Here if you stay on the side, you're allowed
to see the auction. I think that's the highlight of actually seeing a fish market
how everyone is bidding for the best and freshest fish.
What I find very interesting is that the colors here are different.
And the people are super friendly. People same up said hey you look cute
what are you doing here?" So everyone is very friendly.
That's your chance, when you come to Naha, to see one of the fish markets.
Also, they might be doing a tour to come to the fish market here
So that's your chance to actually see live a real part of Japanese culture
that you generally can't actually see at other fish markets.
While other fish markets start in the very early morning hours,
so you can't actually get there,
this auction here started around 8AM
Even if you wanna sleep a little bit longer you'll still manage to get
to actually see the real auction happening here.
Be sure to check it out!
