Kishimoto Shokudo (Main Branch)
きしもと食堂
An iconic shop in Motobu established in 1905, famous for its wood-ash handmade noodles and bonito-flavored broth, representing northern Okinawa Soba.
A century-old Okinawa Soba shop located near the Motobu Town Market. Established in 1905, the menu consists almost entirely of Okinawa Soba in small or large sizes, with the option to add juicy (Okinawan seasoned rice). The noodles are made using traditional wood ash, giving them a chewy texture, paired with a fragrant bonito broth. A large bowl costs about 950 yen (2024 data). Lines are common, and some diners report that it sells out by around 14:00, so arriving early is highly recommended. There are about 11 parking spaces next to the shop. It is about a 30-minute drive from Kyoda IC, making it ideal to combine with a visit to the Churaumi Aquarium. There is another branch in nearby Yae-dake with longer opening hours.
Opening hours
11:00–17:00 or 17:30, until sold out; Closed Wednesdays (sources vary slightly)
