Okinawa Soba Eibun

Eibun approaches Okinawa soba with more design consciousness than the typical shokudo. The broth stays true to the traditional pork and bonito combination, but toppings might include braised pork in a citrus glaze, slow-cooked ribs in a ginger-forward sauce, or seasonal additions that rotate with the Naha market. The bowls are presented carefully and the noodles are made fresh in-house. It sits in the Makishi area of Naha, close enough to Kokusai-dori that it works as a lunch stop during a central Naha day.
