Have you ever had “raw noodle” Okinawa soba?
There are three stores in Okinawa Prefecture: the Onna store and the Kokusai-dori Mutsumi Shokudo store. All of them are very popular among tourists and locals alike during lunchtime. Let us introduce you to the charms of Kingetsu Soba.
The texture is unique to fresh noodles.
The most distinctive feature is the “fresh noodles,” which are rare for Okinawan soba. Ordinary Okinawa soba noodles are boiled, but the homemade noodles at Kingetsu Soba have a sticky, firm texture. One bite of the noodle will give off a subtle aroma of wheat.
The noodles are made from wheat flour, all of which are domestically produced. Among the flour blended by the owner, “Okinawa wheat, Shimamugi Kanasan,” developed in Okinawa Prefecture, is used. The owner’s passion for his noodles is what gives birth to “Kinzuki Soba.
The gentle taste of seafood broth
Another attraction is the soup, which is as good as the flavor of the fresh noodles. The clear broth is made from eight kinds of fish knots, including bonito and mackerel. The fact that no chemical seasonings are used is also a nice touch. The gentle flavor of the broth gives depth to the fresh noodles, which are made with the utmost care.
The soup is so well mixed in with the thin raw noodles that it is easy to eat them in a blink of an eye. It is the kind of Okinawan soba that you will want to come back to again and again, and you will never get tired of it.
You can also enjoy mail-ordering
By the time you leave, everyone will be saying, “I want to eat it again!” I’m sure everyone will think, “I want to eat it again! What is also great for those who live outside Okinawa is that “Kingetsu Soba” also offers mail-order service.
In addition to regular Okinawa soba, there is a wide selection of Tsuke-soba and Dantan-soba as well. It is a good idea to buy some for souvenirs or home use, or to include it in your New Year’s Eve noodle list.
We hope you will try the Okinawa soba that can only be found here!
