Go-ya
In the Okinawan dialect, Nigauri is called Goya.
It is said that the bitter taste of Goya is very refreshing in the heat of summer days. A famous yet simple Goya dish would be frying it with pork and eggs, called Goya Champuru. It probably is sold in all Okinawa restaurants. Also, goya is a rich source of vitamin C, and other nutrients that helps keeping the skin beautiful. Personally I think it's pretty bitter, but since it's healthy to the body, I should start eating more. :)
