Rice has been the longest staple in Asian cuisines, going as far back in history as 2,500 B.C. Records show that the Chinese were the ones who first cultivated rice crops before it spread across the globe, which eventually turned out to be the largest food source for millions of people living on this planet.

Rice is seldom missing on the dining table as most of us rely on it as an energy source, or as a balance when eating salty side dishes. Apart from being a staple food, rice has been commonly used in desserts, snacks, alcoholic beverages and can even replace the white buns in burgers now!

While it provides plenty of carbohydrates, there are increasing number of studies coming out to state that white rice may not be the best grain for your diet.

10 Reasons To Visit Okinawa

Okinawa

Okinawa sits on the Southern-most tip of Japan, surrounded by water and with a primarily tropical climate. The prefecture has rich culture and heritage to boast, and it is an upcoming Japanese destination among travellers.

Of onsen resorts, water activities, great food and spellbindingly beautiful sceneries, Okinawa is quite unlike the big Japanese cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Okinawa will enchant with its island life and resort-style experiences.

Cape Manzamou

Okinawa is hugely influenced by Chinese culture from when the prefecture was once called Ryuku Islands – which was an independent kingdom and tributary state to China for several centuries. Hence, some of the customs and cuisine differ slightly from the Japan we know.

Thanks to the Okinawa Prefectural Government, we had a chance to experience this part of Japan and were brought around to have a taste of the best of this lovely cluster of islands.
