Ichagarigari

Its greatest specialty is a hardness so intense people say 'your teeth might chip.' Ichagarigari is a super-local Okinawan snack that Niizato Food in Urasoe City has been producing for over half a century. In the Okinawan dialect, 'icha' means squid (surume), and 'garigari' represents the sound of crunching. By coating dried squid in flour and deep-frying it twice, that shocking hardness is created. While it looks like karinto, biting into it allows the savory umami and saltiness of the squid to spread slowly. Its affordable price is also a charm, and it is a flavor that has been loved locally for a long time. It is a unique Okinawan souvenir that makes you want to challenge its hardness.
