-About ingredients-

Okra is one of the common ingredients in Japanese cuisine.

The common way to eat okra is to boil it. Boiling softens the texture. Boiled okra is commonly eaten with sauce such as soy sauce or ponzu sauce. It is also enjoyed as okra sashimi. For sashimi, slice the okra diagonally and serve with a sauce such as soy sauce or ponzu sauce.

Odashi, which involves boiling okra and simmering it in soy sauce or dashi stock, is also a common cooking method in Japanese cuisine. Boiled okra is cooled and then simmered in soy sauce or dashi stock to bring out its flavor and umami. Oizushi is a staple of Japanese cuisine and is often incorporated into menus.

Okra is also used for soups. In addition to okra, tofu, wakame seaweed, and konjac are often used as ingredients in soup. Adding okra to soups adds texture and flavor, and increases nutritional value.
