Kaisou
Kaisou consists of a variety of dishes including seaweed and sea grapes. There are several types of seaweed here on Okinawa, including mozuku (a brown stringy seaweed), aoogonori (a green flat seaweed) and hogounori (a red seaweed). The different types of seaweed are served with a sauce or on salads. Sea grapes (umi budou) are a type of sea plant that looks like grapes on a vine. It is served as a side dish and has been called "green caviar."
