Tasting all the Fermented Flavors of Okinawa | Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern

Andrew travels to Okinawa, Japan for ancient eats like pig's blood and tuna eyes. Naomi Fujiwara, a Yakuzen instructor well-versed in the ancient practice that considers all food medicinal, takes Andrew to Izakaya Payao.

Heading to Makishi Market, Andrew and Naomi sample dried fish shavings, sea kelp, pickles from 70-year-old Hirata Pickles Shop, fermented fruit and dried octopus. At Kin, Andrew experiences a collision of cultures when he's served Okinawan fried pig's blood stew from a local man in classic American overalls at a diner-style lunch counter. Andrew truly experiences the secrets of Okinawans' famed well-being on his bizarre foods journey.
