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.

Matcha Mylkbar, a vegan cafe in Melbourne, has cooked up one of the strangest drinks we have ever seen. This insane-looking blue latte, aptly named ‘Smurf Latte’, is actually made out of blue algae and coconut milk – the two main ingredients in this dubious creation.

Before you write off this pretty blue drink as just another fad, many have actually claimed that this latte is more than decent. But is it actually worth A$8?
