    Located in Motobu, Kunigami District near a municipal market, Kishimoto Shokudo is a famous, long-established Okinawan Soba noodles restaurant, which was founded in 1905.

Using the same recipes as the main branch, the Yaedake Branch serves Okinawan Soba noodles with full-bodied noodles prepared using charcoal, and a simple broth, as well as Jushi (Okinawan rice porridge). As at the Main Branch, the entire menu basically consists of variations on these two items (diners can choose what size Soba noodles they want).

    Okinawa Pref. Nagoshi Isagawa 251
    This Okinawan pork restaurant cherishes the idea of eating pork raised on Yanbaru (northern part of Okinawa Island) in Yanbaru. Besides pork carefully raised on a ranch located 15 minutes away by car, the restaurant uses items such as vegetables and seasonings made on Yanbaru. They have many popular menu items such as their yakiniku BBQ meat assortment where you can enjoy 16 different cuts of meat, shabu-shabu and lightly grilled salt-pickled pork.

    This place got really busy and stayed that way for the 2 hours we were here. A good sign of being in the right place. This was my first experience with what they called Shabu Shabu. We ordered a...

    食べるものも飲み物も豊富にそろってます。伊江牛のたたきと島らっきょうの天ぷら、あぐー豚の塩焼きなど、とてもおいしかったです。野菜の炒め物は塩分強すぎ。店員さんの感じは良いし、BGMの沖縄民謡もい-い感じでCD購入しました。コロナで夕食のスタート時間が早くなり、民謡ライブ開始時間まで居られなかったのは残念。ちょっとお値段高めなのはライブを含めてのことでしょう。コロナが収まったら、また伺いたい。伊江島...

    ソーキそばの元祖ときいて行きました。 年始だったので、本店にいきましたが、 休業で名護店までと案内があったのでこちらの店にきました。 が、内外装、あまり清潔感がない感じ。 ソーキそばを注文しましたが、あまり 美味くはなかった。 やはり、元祖だから美味いというわけではないみたい。 あと、店外に喫煙スペースがあり 入り口の扉を開けているので 店内にまでタバコの嫌な匂いが入ってきました。

    安定の一杯 やっぱり北部方面は沖縄そばが美味しい店が多い。 南部方面の有名店の中には麺がツルツルのものもあるが、やはりよく出た出汁とからむ麺との相性が良い。

    南風原店の頃からのファンです。 スープの美味しさは変わらず、生麺も程よい硬さです。 お客様も安定して見えているようなので安心しました。 屋我地で海鮮も加わって、お店の雰囲気も良いですね。 行き方のわかりにくさも返っていいのかも。 また近いうちに行きます。

Okinawa Areas

Let go of your image of a busy, ordered Japan and replace it with crystal-clear waters, white sand beaches, and relaxing folk music: You’ve arrived in Okinawa. A world away from the high intensity of Tokyo, Okinawans appear to live a laid-back beach life on this paradisiacal tropical island that lies in the middle of the East China Sea almost 1,000 kilometers south of mainland Japan’s most southern tip. Home to a spattering of islands, prepare yourself to discover underwater caves, star-shaped sand, and an island culture sometimes unrecognizable from mainland Japan.
