Yangwa Soba

Okinawa & the Southwest Islands


Kume-jima's most famous soba shop is open for lunch only and is worth the trip. Serving handmade noodles out of his own home, the hospitable Nakasone-san cultivates a warm and nurturing island vibe. Enjoy your Kume-jima soba (with barbecued pork rib), or miso and bean-sprout soba, in the open-air tatami dining room or at the table in the front garden.
