3. Okinawa, Japan

The alluring island of Okinawa, which endures tragic memories from World War II battles, is explored by Bourdain from historical, political, cultural and culinary perspectives. The tour includes a bloodless bullfight over a bowl of Yakisoba, a retrospective meal of Tundabun with the city's former governor, and a demonstration of open-hand karate experienced first-hand by Bourdain.
