Nago Goat Cuisine (Hijaa)
Nago City is an area where goat cuisine, known in the local dialect as 'Hijaa' cuisine, is flourishing. In Okinawa, goat has been a special feast essential for celebrations and housewarming ceremonies. Goat soup (Hijaa-jiru) is a nutritious food enjoyed with mugwort (fuchiba) to mellow its unique flavor. When fresh, it can also be enjoyed as sashimi (yagi-sashi). Although it is a dish with a strong character, it continues to be loved locally as a stamina food known for its restorative properties. At specialty restaurants, you can enjoy various cooking methods including goat soup and stir-fries. This is a traditional taste rooted in Okinawan celebratory occasions. It may require a little courage to try, but if you take the challenge, it will become an unforgettable dish.
