Utan Bisaya is a hearty Visayan vegetable soup where malunggay shines. Here’s how to enjoy it in Japan.

What is utan bisaya

Utan Bisaya is a light Visayan vegetable soup with squash, eggplant, beans, and plenty of malunggay.

Adding malunggay

Add malunggay leaves (or a spoon of powder) at the end so they keep their color and nutrients.

Making it in Japan

In Japan you can use local vegetables like kabocha and nasu, finishing with moringa powder when fresh leaves aren’t available.

For Filipinos in Japan, malunggay brings back the taste of home — now easy to keep as moringa powder and tea grown in Okinawa.

This is nutritional information and not medical advice.

HonZen Farm (本然農園) in Okinawa grows moringa using natural methods — no pesticides and no chemical fertilizers.
