A Light but Satisfying Bowl
The broth combines the richness of pork with the delicate umami of seafood, creating a flavorful base that remains relatively light on the palate. Okinawan salt is used to season the soup, allowing the natural flavors of the broth to come through without overwhelming the dish.
The noodles are made using “Silk Road,” a ramen flour produced by Okinawa Seifun, a local Okinawan flour manufacturer. Medium-thick noodles are chosen to provide a satisfying bite and a hearty eating experience, even when paired with the lighter-style soup.
