In the northern part of Okinawa's main island, just 5 minutes from the Churaumi Aquarium, lies 'Shimabuta House', a well-renowned Okinawa soba restaurant adored by both locals and tourists. The adorable exterior, with a large Shisa greeting you, is perfect for social media!
The signature dish at Shimabuta House is undoubtedly the 'special grilled island pork soki soba'. The soki (pork rib) is simmered until it melts in your mouth. The soup, enhanced with bonito stock, perfectly matches the aromatic homemade noodles, delighting even soba enthusiasts.
For those seeking extra luxury, the 'grilled Agu soki soba' is a recommendation. Using Okinawa's proud brand pork, Agu, its elegant taste and tenderness are exceptional. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it.
The interior is clean and exudes an inviting atmosphere. Some seats are even equipped with sunken kotatsu-style tables for a leisurely time. You can even relax in a hammock while waiting, providing peace of mind for families with children.
Shimabuta House is not just a place to eat. It's a culinary art gallery where Okinawan food culture and craftsmanship blend beautifully. When visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, be sure to stop by. You'll surely discover a new charm of Okinawa.
