Ohaw
Ohaw or rur is a savory soup of the Ainu people of northern Japan, flavored with fish or animal bones. Kelp is also used to add flavor to the stock. Unlike the majority of the traditional Japanese soups, the Ainu do not use miso or soy sauce in their soups.[1] The solid ingredients such as meat, fish, vegetables and/or wild edible plants are added to the stock.

The name is phonetically similar to a Russian fish soup called "Ukha". Considering ohaw is a soup of Ainu people (geographically located in Northern Japan, and parts of Russia), it is safe to assume that both words are of the same origin.
