Located about 30 minutes by car from Naha Airport, about halfway between Shuri and Gibo stations on the Yui Rail Line, Teishiraji Soba is famous for its thick, curly noodles and delicious soup. What kind of Okinawa soba is Teishiraji Soba, with its simple toppings of large tripe, fish cake, and green onions, and the bonus of Mozuku vinegar?
Point 1: Overnight storage makes it firm and chewy! Teishiraji Soba” with excellent chewiness
It is a staple for tourists to eat “Okinawa soba” when they visit Okinawa. But the problem is which one to choose among the many famous Okinawa soba restaurants! It depends on one’s preference, but this “Teishiraji Soba” is recommended for those who like thick, frizzy, and chewy noodles.
The homemade noodles are made overnight to give them a chewy texture, and the light color of the buckwheat, rather than pure white, is appetizing.
The soup, which complements the noodles, is made from a combination of bonito, kelp, pork, and chicken, and by removing as much of the fat as possible during the cooking process, the soup is surprisingly clear, clean, and transparent.
The soup is light, but the more you taste it, the richer and more elegant it tastes. The thick meat on top of the broth is sweet, and the sweetness of the meat is combined with it to create an indescribable deliciousness.
It is therefore a simple yet rich and flavorful dish that makes for an unforgettable meal.
The sourness of the mozuku vinegar that comes as an added bonus enhances the rich flavor of the soba even further.
You can also try it with kohlra goose (a spicy condiment made by soaking island peppers in Awamori) for a different flavor!
Point 2: The “juicy” Teishiraji Soba is also delicious!
At Teishiraji Soba, be sure to order the “juicy,” Okinawan-style takikomi-gohan (rice cooked in a soup stock)!
The juicy rice here is made with Kagoshima dried bonito flakes and cooked in buckwheat noodle soup stock, with pork, chicken, kelp, and carrots.
The filling is simple and standard: pork, chicken, kelp, and carrots. But the more you chew, the more the flavor spreads in your mouth, and it is so good that you can eat as many bowls as you want.
Juicy is available as a set with Okinawa soba for 800 yen, but it is also available as an individual dish. It is worth ordering separately!
Point 3: “Okara Inari”, a hidden favorite of “Teishiraji Soba”.
Tishiraji Soba has a side dish called “okara inari,” which is a hidden favorite.
Okara (bean curd) purchased from a tofu shop in the prefecture is wrapped in fried bean curd, and the sweet and sour taste of the soup soaking into it is irresistible. And what’s more, it is healthy, which is good!
Okinawan tofu is known for its deliciousness, and the “okara inari” made from this ingredient has a taste original to this restaurant, so why not order this as well?
