It started with a post about a meal from an Okinawa trip that didn’t suit the poster’s taste, and comments pointing out how salty and sour the food was quickly piled on. On the other hand, some praised soki soba, taco rice, and champuru as “surprisingly good,” splitting opinions right down the middle.
The discussion eventually expanded into comparisons with the food culture of other regions like Osaka and Tokyo.

Osaka's only got cheap, bad food
Western Japan's food just isn't good, can't be helped
In Osaka they can't afford rice or meat,
so they boil or grill up offal and flour-based stuff instead

It's tasty though
The champuru dishes are genuinely good. The miso soup set meal and Okinawa champon are a trap though
Everything's salty and sour overall
The hotel breakfast's spam musubi was so salty I had to laugh

Tokyo's cramped, the food's bad, and it stinks
Even the tap water tastes bad

Okinawa's only good point is its clear ocean

Pairing it with egg is the best combo!
