It is a thinly yellow carrot around 30cm long. The Okinawan island carrot is claimed to be the only yellow oriental carrot in Japan.
In Okinawa, it is known as Chidekuni, with "chi" meaning yellow and "dekuni" referring radish in our language.

Although it is thought to be less taste than Western carrots, it has a rich flavor and can be used in a number of cuisines, including stir-fries, soups, and salads.

Gozen Honzo, a book on medical studies developed and published in China in 1832, is said to be the first mention of island carrots in the Ryukyus. In Ryukyus, it is believed that "food not only nourishes life and maintains health, but also becomes medicine to cure illness."
There are also therapeutic meals known as "Kusuimun," with "Chimushinji" being one example. Chidekuni is a crucial ingredient in this Chimushinji soup, which is made from broiled pork liver. It is a beneficial medicinal dish that contains nutrients derived from the wisdom of our forefathers.
