A nourishing traditional dish loved in Okinawa

About Irabu Soup
Irabu Soup (イラブー汁, Irabu-jiru) is a traditional Okinawan dish made using the erabu sea snake, a local delicacy.
The sea snake, known as "irabu" in Okinawan, is first smoked and dried into a hard, preserved form, then simmered to create a rich broth. This soup is prepared with ingredients like island tofu, pork, kombu seaweed, and wild herbs, offering a unique blend of flavors.
Believed to have medicinal properties and restorative benefits, Irabu Soup is particularly popular as a nourishing meal for recovery after childbirth or illness. In the past, it was considered a luxury dish, reserved for the royal court and rare occasions, making it a cherished part of Okinawa's cultural heritage.
