Standard Mast Menu Ranking

★No. 1 Okinawa soba

"Okinawa soba" is one of the popular Okinawan dishes that is said to be prefectural food. Although it is named soba, flour is used without buckwheat flour, and soup stock is basically pork bones and bonito flakes. Some stores also use chickens and vegetables. The ingredients are called three pieces of meat (pork rose), Kamaboko, and chopped green onions are standard, pork avalley meat with bones is "Soki soba", and "Tebichi soba", which has pork feet, etc. The menu name of the soba changes depending on the type of ingredients to put on.
