Tsuruya is near the intersection of Toguchi in Motobu town. It is located in a side street a little, so I think that you will not get lost if you come to check the place in advance. The inside of the shop feels like a dining room where the private house was remodeled. It has been operating for over 50 years at this place. Tsuruya is not well known except for locals, but recently it seems that tourists are also increasing.
Only 3 items drawn on the wall are on the menu. Soki soba, Sanmainiku soba, and Mix soba with Soki meat and Sanmainiku. This time I ordered Soki soba large. I was looking forward to Soki soba with homemade noodles using wood ash.
Well, Soki soba came. It is a simple Okinawa soba with Soki and Kamaboko。
First, I drunk a bite of soup. Bonito soup stock was good, it was simple and gentle taste. This gentle taste soup would match well with homemade noodles using wood ash. Handmade middle thick noodles made with wood ash supernatant are texture and mouthfeel, it is a unique texture unique to homemade noodles. I can enjoy Soki (pig meat) taste of pork itself, it is a nice accent in the soup of gentle taste. Okinawa soba with a simple but deep taste. I understood the reason why Tsuruya has been loved for over half a century in Motobu town.
