seasonal peak

All year round

Irabuchā is a type of parrotfish commonly eaten in Okinawa. Its vivid body coloration, ranging from bright blue to yellow, makes it stand out in Okinawan fish markets. It is a delicious fish known for its delicate white-fish flavor and umami-rich skin. While often served as sashimi, it pairs well with a variety of other Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes. Irabuchā can be enjoyed in many ways, including pan-fried in butter, deep-fried, or in soups made with broth from fish head and bones.
