Slow Food Ryukyus

Slow Food Ryukyus was established in 2016 and works across the Ryukyu Islands, an island region now largely administered as Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. They work with communities across the islands to identify, document, protect, and celebrate the biodiversity, food heritage, and foodways of the Indigenous peoples of the Ryukyu Islands. Through community-based activities, research, inter-island and Indigenous exchange, and partnerships, Slow Food Ryukyus seeks to sustain these living food cultures and pass them on to future generations.
