Point 2: “Drive-in Nanachi Drive-in Nanachi” What is the fantastic Daito Sushi & Soba?
At “Drive-in Nanachi Drive-in Nanachi,” they are continuing the tradition of the original Daito Soba on Kokusai-dori.
You can often find “Daito Sushi” at Naha Airport and other places, but people go for it and buy it in large quantities.
That is how much I think it is a precious gourmet food, not something you can eat anywhere.
Daito-sushi is characterized by the use of pickled fish landed at different times of the year, such as bigeye, snapper, yellowtail, striped horse mackerel, and Kanpachi.
It is also characterized by the use of “Karashi” (mustard) instead of wasabi as in regular sushi.
Daito soba features homemade thick, curly noodles kneaded with seawater and wood ash from Daito Island, which gives the noodles a chewy texture. The broth made from bonito, chicken, and pork is surprisingly light and goes well with the noodles!
Although it must be a type of Okinawan soba, some people dare to seek out Daito soba here as well.
Here at Drive-in Nanachi, there are about six different types of Daito soba in the lineup. In addition to the simple Soki Soba, there is also a vegetable soba with lots of vegetables and fresh noodles, which is unique!
