Okinawan is the most glamorous Japanese variety with white skin and purple to white flesh.Sometimes they are erroneously called Hawaiian

Thanks Mike, I saw Hawaiian at Woolies, might be Okinawan?? Looks like it. Not sure of the flavour of Okinawan.
Thanks Julie, I was hoping to "dig up" some non commercial vars/growers/seedsavers etc.

Will be Okinawan.The purple skinned, purple fleshed Solomon purple or perfumed purple is something far more desirable.
