In Okinawa, an island full of food, in addition to the famous yakiniku and izakaya, there are many stunning niche restaurants worth exploring. This time I will introduce an Okinawa soba restaurant that I personally think must not be missed.——Umi-to-Mugi-to。

Although this shop is low-key, it offers an unforgettable authentic flavor, and it is definitely worth recommending to every friend who visits Okinawa.

This shop is located in an easy-to-reach location, not far from the famous attraction "Okinawa Aquarium". It takes about half an hour to line up for lunch, which shows that it is very popular. The store uses the coin-operated ordering machine of a typical Japanese ramen shop, which is simple and fast to operate, making it very suitable for travelers.

Unique flavor of Okinawa soba noodles

Unlike traditional Japanese soba noodles, Umi-to-Mugi-to noodles have a more elastic taste, and are even closer to Chinese ramen. They are smooth and chewy, and have an excellent taste without losing the elasticity of the noodles.

The soup is the soul of the store. It is boiled with freshly shaved bonito fillets of the same day. The rich and delicious bonito stock is combined with a soy sauce base. It is balanced in saltiness and lightness. It is slightly salty but definitely not too heavy. It is particularly refreshing when paired with pork.

The store also specially added Okinawa specialty sea grapes and kelp to fill the whole bowl of noodles with a strong marine atmosphere, truly showing the authentic Okinawa flavor.

Recommended pork options

The restaurant offers two pork options：

Cartilage meat (highly recommended! ）: After stewing for a long time until it is soft and tender, it melts in the mouth and is effortless. It is full of pig flavor but has no fishy smell at all. It is a superb product.

Three-layer meat: Traditional and classic, fat and thin, rich in taste.

Dessert

After eating the staple food, you can also order a cappuccino smoothie. The slightly sweet smoothie has a faint aroma of coffee, which is very suitable for clearing your mouth and drawing a perfect end to the entire dining experience.

Overall dining experience and personal feelings

For girls, even if they order a large bowl, the serving size is just right, because it's so delicious that they can't stop at all. In addition to the excellent taste of the noodles and the rich and delicious soup, the price is also close to the people and the price is very high.

Overall, this low-key and powerful soba noodle shop, regardless of taste, price or location, is very suitable for recommendation to friends who travel to Okinawa. If you want to experience the true flavor of Okinawa, don't miss this treasure restaurant!
