Soba-dokoro Yangwa
An Okinawa-soba shop in a red-tiled traditional house in a Kumejima village, opened in 2007 when the owner returned to the island and renovated the family home. The signature island-miso bean-sprout soba piles on local Kumejima ingredients. Now open only during long holiday seasons — a bowl worth planning a trip around.
Reviews rave about the generous local ingredients and the atmosphere of the old house. High 5-star share with no accusatory 1-star reviews.
