Soki soba

About Soki soba

Soki soba is a local dish of Okinawa, and is a type of Okinawa soba topped by simmering pork ribs (spareribs) in a sweet and spicy way. Soki has been simmered slowly for a long time, and is so soft that it can be easily loosened with chopsticks, and is characterized by its rich flavor. In particular, what is called “honsoki soba” uses meat with firm bones, and since the bone part cannot be eaten, it usually comes with a small plate to put in the bones after eating.

Soki soba soup is based on broth made from pork bones and dried bonito flakes, making it a light, salty soup. The chewy, flour-based noodles are exquisitely intertwined with the soup, and the rich flavor of soki spreads throughout your mouth. Ginger, green onions, fish paste, etc. are added to the toppings to further enhance the flavor.

The difference between Okinawa soba and soki soba is mainly the meat topping. Whereas Okinawa soba is topped with sweet and spicy braised pork ribs (pork ribs), soki soba is topped with spareribs (soki). There is no difference between noodles and soup, only the name of the dish changes depending on the toppings.

Soki soba, which is filled with Okinawan culture and history, is a dish that makes you feel the Okinawan breeze.
