Irabou soup
Popular in Okinawa as a nourishing dish
Irabou soup introduction
The caught irabou is a dish made from island tofu, pork, kelp, wild grass, etc., by simmering it after preserving it in a hard, dry smoked form, and then stewed in soup stock.
It is said to have medicinal effects such as nutritional tonic, and is popular in Okinawa as a nourishing dish for postpartum and post-illness.
It used to be a high-class dish of the imperial court, so it was rarely eaten by the common people.
