Soba

By the shape of the dish, it appears as a traditional Japanese. It is a unique and very different Japanese dish. Soba is the only noodle which is made by using 100 % pure wheat flour. This use of wheat flour makes the Soba thicker and chewier than other traditional food. Soba is best when it is served in smoked bonito broth bowl. The smoked bonito broth bowl makes the dish lighter with its clean after taste, which adds an extra to Soba. Soba is one of the most favorite dishes in the city and is at the top of every Food Guide Okinawa. You can enjoy Soba with pickled ginger and seaweed. It has the best taste if you enjoy it with three-layered pork or with spareribs.
