Not only the Okinawa soba menu, but also popular menu items such as shrimp-only tendon and tebichi soba are available in “mini-size” portions, which is convenient when you want to eat a variety of dishes.
However, since the original menu items are large, there is a concern that the “mini size” may be the same size as a regular portion. However, since the portions are originally large, there is a concern that even the “mini-size” portions may not be as large as a normal portion. If you are not confident that you can eat all of it, it is better to observe the orders of those around you or ask the waiter when you place your order.
Also, be prepared to wait in line before the restaurant opens, as it is a popular restaurant. You must first buy a meal ticket, but it will go more smoothly if you decide in advance what you want to eat!
