Things to do in Makishi Public Market, Okinawa
Have your favorite seafood cooked and ready to eat
Choose your preferred seafood, whether it's lobster, green turban snails, or parrotfish, on the first floor. Then, head up to the second floor and have it prepared just the way you like at any eatery for a small fee (around 500 yen for up to three items). The unique "lifting" system, allowing you to have your market-bought fish and meat cooked and enjoyed in the cafeteria upstairs, continues to be a highlight of the Makishi Public Market experience.
Try the exotic Irabu
The Irabu snake is more venomous than the habu snake and is famous for its strength. Smoked irabu, known for its health benefits since ancient times, is rare and costly, usually found in big markets today.
