Jappa Soup
An essential winter dish from Aomori, rich in tradition
Jappa Soup introduction
Jappa Soup (じゃっぱ汁, Jappa jiru) is a beloved regional dish from Aomori, especially enjoyed during the cold winter months. The word "jappa" comes from the Tsugaru dialect and means "miscellaneous parts," typically referring to fish scraps. This heartwarming soup is made by simmering fish like cod or salmon—using every part, including the head and bones—along with vegetables, and seasoned with salt or miso. Cod-based Jappa Soup is particularly famous for its richness, as the creamy flavors of the cod's roe and liver blend beautifully into the savory miso broth, creating a truly unforgettable taste experience.
