Point 1: Urasoe is home to many unique restaurants! What is the location of “Soba Specialty Tedako”?
Soba Specialty Tedako is an Okinawa soba specialty restaurant located in Urasoe City in the central part of the main island of Okinawa.
The sign “Tedako” looks like it has been inked on a large piece of wood. It looks like a long-established restaurant, but it was established in 1993.
Since it is a popular restaurant, a long line is inevitable. The system is to write down your name at the entrance and wait outside.
Inside the spacious restaurant, there are counter seats, table seats, and a tatami room, so it is possible to bring a large group of people.
The restaurant is located near the Urasoe Grand Park and the ANA Sports Park stadium, so it is said that the Yakult Swallows, who come to their camp every year, also visit the restaurant.
Many autographs of the players were displayed in the restaurant.
It takes about 30 minutes from Naha Airport via Route 58.
If you are not driving, get off at Urasoe Maeda Station on the Yui Rail and walk for about 20 minutes, or take Ryukyu Bus No. 120 or 190, which also passes Kokusai-dori, and get off at Kencho Kita-Guchi Station. Transfer to No. 56 and get off at “Bijutsukan-mae” (Museum of Art). It is a 6-minute walk to the restaurant.
There is a large free parking lot, but it may fill up quickly because of the constant flow of customers.
Point 2: What kind of soba do you recommend at “Soba Specialty Tedako”?
Soba Specialty Tedako’s Okinawa soba includes Okinawa soba (tripe), Soki soba, Vegetable soba, Mapo-style tofu soba, Natto soba, spicy Mazesoba, Yomogi soba, and children’s soba.
The restaurant’s soba has a cloudy pork bone broth, reminiscent of Tonkotsu ramen, but the taste is surprisingly light!
It is up to each individual to decide which soba is best for them, but the “Soki Soba” with tender cartilage Soki is a must-try.
The noodles are homemade and smooth, but for some reason, they are very tasty and well mixed with the broth! It is a taste that overturns the common sense of Okinawan soba until now.
Surprisingly, I also recommend the “cold soba”!
The noodles are watered down so that they become firmer and have the best texture!
The dipping sauce is very simple, with just a few spices (green onion and wasabi). The dipping sauce is very simple, with a hint of green onion and wasabi.
Also, there are many hidden fans of the “Ma-bo-style” tofu soba, which you may think is yushi-tofu (bean curd).
We hope you will try this unique and rare Okinawan soba experience.
Point 3: Introduction of other menu items at “Soba Specialty Tedako”!
Soba Specialty Tedako has a famous menu item called “Yomogi Soba,” which is hidden behind Tedako Soba and Soki Soba.
Many other restaurants offer unlimited fresh Yomogi (hooch bar) on top of Okinawa soba, but this restaurant has Yomogi kneaded into the noodles and served cold on a colander.
The noodles are served cold in a colander and are a perfect combination with the sauce, green onions, nori, and wasabi!
The thick noodles are then watered down to make them even firmer, and they are still exquisitely chewy!
Cold Okinawa soba is also good during the hot season! In the past few years, more and more restaurants have started to serve it cold.
Also, many people order gyoza (dumplings) with their Okinawa soba.
They look neither big nor small, but at 430 yen for 5 gyoza, they are very cheap and have a very sticky texture. The texture is very sticky, and the taste changes when you dip them in a little bit of kohlrabi goose (kohlrabi goose has a special taste)! (The kolay goose contains alcohol, so please be careful if you are driving.)
Located near the entrance of Tedako Hall near the City Hall in Urasoe City, “Soba Specialty Tedako” is an Okinawa soba specialty restaurant known for its “Tedako soba.
It is probably one of the five best in Okinawa, yet it is reasonably priced, so there is always a steady stream of customers.
