What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A legendary Yaeyama soba restaurant in the remote Akaishi settlement in northern Ishigaki Island, about 40 minutes from the city center. Despite the distance, long queues form on weekends. Known for straight thin round noodles, light pork-bone broth, and melt-in-your-mouth braised soki rib.

Tabelog 3.57 (899 reviews), TripAdvisor 542 reviews. 'Worth every minute of the long drive.' 'Best soba on Ishigaki.' 'The soki melts in your mouth.' Confirmed operating as of June 2025. Reservation list system; waits can exceed 1 hour during peak season.
