Hello there! I have recently visited Naha and of course I had to try the famous Okinawa bitter melon! They are absolutely everywhere: Shabu Shabu, Champuru, Soups, even in Burgers lol.
I really hated the veg when I was little and haven't eaten it for years – but this trip really changes my view on bitter melons.
I'm just wondering if the locals like Bitter Melon as well or it's just a tourist thing

lol not everyone. My wife grew up eating it and she absolutely dislikes it.
We love it.
You do or you don’t. I prefer it when it is thinly sliced.
Damn my dad would love it here haha
Of course like any native food in any country not literally everyone will like it, but generally speaking, yes, it’s a local food, not a tourist thing
It’s a local thing. Not my thing either.
Of course they like it. Very healthy
I love it. Goya Champuru is a favorite in my house. But it’s definitely not tourist food, which is great.
