Shuri Soba
Opened in 1995, this Okinawa soba gem hides in an alley near Shuri Castle. The handmade flat noodles paired with a crystal-clear pork bone and bonito dashi broth are exceptional. Limited to about 100 servings daily, it fills up within minutes of opening. Locals call it 'the real Okinawa soba'. 1,140 Tabelog reviews.
