When it comes to Miyakojima cuisine…
Above all, the first thing that comes to mind isMiyako SobaWouldn’t you say so?
A broth that is lighter than Okinawa soba
Personally, I feel the bonito flavor is stronger than the tonkotsu flavor.
Straight, flat noodles without any curls
Lately, with so many new shops popping up, I feel like it’s getting harder to define what exactly constitutes “Miyako soba,” but
Among these, “Kusha Soba-ya,” which we’re introducing today, is a renowned restaurant known as the originator of Miyako soba.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let’s start with the soba at Kojya Soba-ya!
This time, I ordered the regular Miyako soba.
Topped with pork belly and fish cake for 650 yen
It really is an appetizing sight, isn’t it?
The simple yet rich broth made from pork bones, kelp, and bonito is truly addictive.
The pork belly is well-seasoned and delicious.
Kamaboko, which you probably don’t see very often on the mainland, is delicious too♫
After sampling a variety of delicious soba broths,
This, after all
Cory Goose!
The deliciousness really stands out (*´༥` *) Munch, munch
Kusha Soba-ya serves homemade noodles
The deliciousness of Kojya Soba comes not only from the broth, but also…
Noodles made with the care and attention to detail that only homemade ones can offer
At supermarkets on Miyakojima, Kusa Soba noodles are often sold, but
The noodles themselves contain oil, giving them a unique flavor.
Personally, I prefer them to the noodles sold at the supermarket,
The soba you buy directly from Kojya Soba-ya tastes better.
Founded in Showa 7
Kojya Soba-ya, a long-established soba restaurant on Miyakojima, was founded in Showa 7.
Starting now90 years agoWhen you hear about it, you can appreciate its rich history and how much it has been cherished by the people of Miyakojima.
My mother is
“When I was a kid, I used to take some flour there and trade it for noodles at Koga Soba.”
They often talk about it with a sense of nostalgia.
I can just picture how much it was loved by the local community ( ´ ▽ ` )
The menu is very simple
The menu at Kojya Soba-ya is very simple
Since it’s a soba restaurant, the main dish is Miyako soba.
If you also want to try the Juicy, the set meal was a better deal.
Traditional curry rice is made with curry prepared using flour and a can of SB curry,
This has long been a common sight at restaurants on Miyakojima Island.
I like it.
There is also a menu posted at the entrance to the store, so
Looking at it while waiting in line might be a good way to pass the time.
The farm stand is also located inside the store
To the left of the Kojya Soba restaurant, there is also a shop that sells noodles directly to customers.
“I went all the way here on vacation, but it’s just too crowded—I really can’t wait.”
In that case, I think it’s a good idea to buy noodles and broth and cook them at your lodging.
These days, there are a lot of accommodations with kitchens, aren’t there?
You can buy them at the supermarket, but the noodles from the farm stand taste different.
Is it the freshness…? I wonder…

When I was a child, it was located in the city center, where the public market and other facilities were, but
It has since relocated and now features red roof tiles—a hallmark of Okinawa—and an interior that creates a pleasant atmosphere.
I hope this article helps someone discover the “delicious foods of Miyakojima.”
