Yonabaru Otsunahiki Cuisine
Yonabaru Otsunahiki is one of Okinawa's three great tug-of-war festivals, boasting a history said to span over 400 years. This is a magnificent and brave festival. On the day of this festival, feasts using pork and jubako cuisine (usanmi) are prepared in each household, shared among all members of the community. Traditional Okinawan dishes essential for celebratory occasions—such as Rafute (braised pork belly), Taro, and Kamaboko (fish cake)—vibrantly fill the tiered boxes. The heat of pulling the rope and the warmth of gathering around the food—both are vital parts of Yonabaru's culture. The flavors of Yonabaru, where festival and food are tightly intertwined, represent the very bond of the community. The spirit of Okinawa lives on in these inherited feasts.
