OKINAWA NAHA: Tacos-ya Shintoshin OMG!! Some of the best soft shelled tacos in Japan! Staff incrediblyl friendly... GOGO!!! (Sony RX100)

 

I stayed in the tiniest budget hotel near Omoromachi station and on one of my walks passed by Tacos-Ya... Had to try!

View of the cashier counter and cooking area.

Menu in English!

Waitress gave me a nice big container of salsa.

Ok... 2 tacos please!


Look at this beauty! I swear Okinawa has the BEST tacos in all of Japan.


Add a little Salsa.


DUDE! Soft crispy shell and the flavor of the taco meat was just so satisfying.




Of course I had to get 1 more! It was just tooooo goood!

OKINAWA SAKAEMACHI: Okinawa Charu-Soba... OMG The Soki beef was sooooo melty flavorful tender! WOW!! (Sony RX100)

I love exploring the little Sakaemachi Arcade and usually get some Hawaiian Poke Tacos at FAB MART... then on my walk I always pass by Charu-Soba but because I cant see inside I was always kinda hesistant to try.

English Menu outside! But my 2 fish tacos werent enough and finally decided to pop in!


Interior was much bigger than I imagined! So clean and there was a TV near the counter seating area.


This is all me! A small size of Soki tender pork Okinawa soba!



Self serve cold tea on the counter.


English menu for ya!


The amount of noodle wasnt too much but it was just enough for me. The soup was sooo refined and incredibly tasty.  There were slices of seaweed topping. 


SOOOO Melty soft!!  OMG... This is one of the BEST soki spots I have ever tried.  My absolute favorite Okinawa soba is Nakazaya but this is on par!

I suggest added the hot pepper awamori seasoning half way thru your bowl... has a nice kick but can slightly alter the flavor of the soup.

PERFECT!!

OKINAWA NAHA: Kame Okinawan Soba Wakasa Branch... I finally went! A nice piping hot bowl of Soki-Soba. (iPhone 12 mini)


In Naha I usually frequent Kame Soba in the Wakasa area but I never ventured into another branch with the exact name just a short walk away..

Full touch menu vending machine and as I stood there for a bit the attentive staff asked me if I wanted to help... then pointed to a wall with lots of menu items pictured.



My 800 yen soki soba... this was probably the hottest Okinawa soba soup I have ever had!  The soki pork was soooo incredibly tender and soooo flavorful.  Just really enjoyed it, 


I suggest adding the spicy sauce after enjoying at least half your bowl of noodles.  Think its red peppers in Awamori sake... yum but hot!


I am always curious what is on the bottom of the bowl... there was the kanji Kame! aka Turtle.
