Review of Okibara
Nakijin Ichido is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy Okinawa soba noodles in a rich tonkotsu (pork bone) broth. When we went there at around 12:00 pm, there was already a huge line. We were able to get in just in time before they sold out!
Both Okibura and I are overwhelmingly in favor of bonito broth when it comes to Okinawan soba, but Ichifuji's soba is my favorite until I finish the soup!
If you visit the northern part of Okinawa's main island, be sure to stop by.
