Even within Japan, pork-based cuisine is particularly popular in Okinawa. Pigs are consumed almost entirely - from the head to intestines and tail - without throwing away any of the parts, and a local saying has it that Okinawan people “eat every part of the pig except for its oinks”. This is an excellent food in terms of health, as it has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin B1, which is effective in recovery from fatigue brought on by Okinawa’s hot climate. Many of the pork dishes in Okinawa are slow-cooked, often together with local Okinawan specialties such as “awamori” liquor or black sugar. Pork is rich in collagen, which is a great form of protein, and is excellent as a food that enhances beautiful skin. “Rafute” (a stew of pork cooked in awamori) and “tebichi” (a stew of pig’s trotters) are well worth trying for beauty-conscious women. The day after enjoying these dishes, you will be able to sense their skin beauty-enhancing effects in your newly springy skin.
