わかなそば
A Yonaguni soba specialist in Hizuka village that opens only at noon, where the house-made pork-bone white broth is the signature.
A Yonaguni soba specialist in the Hizuka settlement on the south side of the island. The menu offers only “Wakana Soba” and rice. The house-made pork-bone broth is creamy white and topped with three-layer pork belly, red pickled ginger, scallions and grated ginger. The noodles are made from local Maesori buckwheat. The owner makes the noodles and serves customers alone. The shop opens at 11:30, and guests arrive steadily and fill it quickly, so arriving early and allowing plenty of time is recommended. Reservations are not accepted, and the shop is open only two and a half hours a day. The price is about ¥1,000 per person. Cash, credit cards and electronic payments are accepted, although the card reader sometimes malfunctions. Parking is on the west side of the shop; drive from Zuna or Kubura.
