南風堂「雪塩ちんすこう」/ Nanpudo "Snow Salt Chinsuko"
The "Yukishio Chinsuko" by Nanpudo has become a standard Okinawan specialty. It's a traditional Okinawan sweet made using "snow salt," purified groundwater extracted from Miyako Island.
It starts with a crispy texture, followed by a moist one, characterized by a simple sweetness and a hint of saltiness, making it irresistibly addictive!
The individually wrapped Yukishio Chinsuko is perfect as a snack. If you're unsure what to pick up at Naha Airport, this should be your top choice for Okinawan specialties!
雪塩「雪塩さんど」/ Snow Salt "Snow Salt Pathway"
The "Snow Salt Pathway" is a popular Okinawan specialty made with snow salt.
This product consists of white chocolate sandwiched between cookies, with crispy corn flakes embedded in the fluffy chocolate. The unique crunchy texture and subtle saltiness of snow salt make it incredibly delicious.
The adorable retro packaging of Yukishio Sando is also worth recommending, perfect for those seeking fashionable Okinawan souvenirs!
ほうき星「黒糖カヌレ」/ Houkiboshi "Black Sugar Canele"
Houkiboshi is a popular specialty store known for its canele. Naha Airport also sells "Black Sugar Canele" made with Okinawan ingredients, recommended as a souvenir!
In addition to the original flavor made with Tarama Island brown sugar, you can also taste tropical flavors made with locally sourced ingredients such as pineapple, dragon fruit, shikuwasa, island strawberries, Okinawan milk, and awamori.
The appearance of the canele is also charming, so the recipient is sure to be delighted!
オキネシア「ナンチチ」/ Okinetia "Nanchichi"
For those seeking a slightly different Okinawan souvenir, we recommend the snack "Nanchichi" from the island of Okinawa.
Nanchichi means "(おこげ) okoge" in Okinawan dialect. This rich and aromatic legume candy is made by coating peanuts with flour and baking them, making it a perfect snack or appetizer!
Nanchichi comes in two flavors: cheese and black sugar coconut, simple yet timeless. Another advantage is that it's a nutritious snack filled with the blessings of nature!
オハコルテ「ヒラミーレモンケーキ」/ oHacorté "Hiramī Lemon Cake"
oHacorté is a fruit tart specialty shop with 4 outlets in Okinawa Prefecture, including one at Naha Airport. One of their most popular products is the Hiramī Lemon Cake.
Hiramī lemon is an Okinawan specialty made from Taiwanese lemons. The juice is squeezed from a whole Taiwanese lemon produced in Okinawa Prefecture, giving it a refreshing acidic aftertaste!
It's a soft and gentle cake, both in texture and in packaging. It makes a wonderful souvenir to give to your loved ones!
南西産業「ぬれアンダギー」/ Nansei Sangyo "Nure Andagi"
One of Okinawa's most iconic local delicacies is "ぬれアンダギー (Nure Andagi)" or "Nure Andagi" by Nansei Sangyo. It's a simple way to enjoy it as a souvenir.
Made by slowly boiling and soaking brown sugar produced in Okinawa, it has a moist texture that regular Shata Andagi lacks, making the sweetness of brown sugar even more appealing!
Nure Andagi is delicious eaten as is, but we also recommend refrigerating it or enjoying it with ice cream!
MELLOWHICH「パウンドケーキ」/ MELLOWHICH "Pound Cake"
If you're looking for a trendy and cute Okinawan souvenir, consider MELLOWHICH's pound cake. Its feature is the ability to mix and match small dice-shaped pound cakes.
The pound cakes at the Naha Airport store come in packaging with Okinawan-style patterns and text, creating distinctive and creative local specialties.
