A crispy Okinawan snack inspired by irabu, a traditional specialty of Kudaka Island.

Irabu — a type of sea snake native to Okinawa — has long been valued for its nutritional qualities and was historically regarded as a nourishing food associated with strength and vitality. According to local tradition, it was first offered in prayers for purification, health, and well-being before being presented to the Ryukyu royal court.

On Kudaka Island, irabu is still considered a treasured gift from the gods of Nirai Kanai, the mythical paradise of Okinawan belief, and remains an important part of the island’s cultural heritage.

This pastry features a light, crispy texture and offers a unique Okinawan-inspired flavor experience.
