The soki soba is creamy and delicious🌟

【🍜 Summary of the differences between the three major soba in Okinawa】

■ Okinawa soba (main island)

■ Yaeyama soba (Ishigaki Island, etc.)

• Characteristics: Thin, straight noodles (not curly)

• Soup: Strong bonito, light taste

• → The soup and noodles blend well, making you want to eat it every day

■ Miyako soba (Miyako Island)

• Characteristics: Noodles that are thinner and slightly flatter than Okinawa soba

• Ingredients: Pork is hidden under the noodles! • → Simple in appearance but deep in depth: "Hidden Soba"
