Nabera (sponge cucumber)
"Nabera" is the Okinawa dialect of sponge cucumber. The original meaning comes from "Nabearai (dish washing)". Cucurbit vegetables such as nabera help fix your metabolism and in a region like Okinawa that is burning hot, it's the must-to-eat ingredients in summer. Used for nabe (hot pot), curry, and other soup dishes. "Naberanbushi (sponge cucumber boiled in miso)" is one of the famous Okinawa plates.
