seasonal peak
October / November / December
The most commonly eaten octopus in Okinawa is the Shima-dako (day octopus), which is caught throughout the prefecture and enjoyed year-round. Popular preparations range from simple boiling in salted water to miso irichī, a stir-fry with miso and garlic shoots. Octopus is rich in high-quality protein and taurine, and also provides a good balance of nutrients including vitamin B12 and niacin. You can enjoy more umami with every bite.
