What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was mesmerized by the prehistoric appearance and massive size of the slipper lobster, which he considered the centerpiece of his meal. He was particularly impressed by the contrast in textures between the raw, custardy grouper and the crunchy, sweet meat of the giant green turban shell. Mark concluded that the ultra-fresh seafood selection in Okinawa offers a unique culinary experience distinct from the rest of Japan.
