We tried the chilled Okinawa soba at Okinawa soba specialty shop “芦屋製麺所 がんじゅ〜,” which opened on July 15 along Ekimae-dori near JR Ashiya Station!
“Okinawa Nama Soba (Chilled)” and “Sardine Beccafico” at “芦屋製麺所 がんじゅ〜”

“Okinawa Nama Soba (Chilled)” ¥600 (tax included)
+ Topping: “Nankotsu Soki” ¥250 (tax included)

The chilled Okinawa soba is served tsukesoba-style, with thoroughly chilled noodles and cold dipping broth served separately.

The noodles are fresh, house-made noodles prepared and cut right in the restaurant, giving them a satisfyingly firm and silky-smooth texture.

The dipping broth is a light, refreshing dashi flavored with bonito, kombu, and soki (pork). It goes down effortlessly, even when the summer heat has sapped your appetite!

The separately served “Nankotsu Soki” topping comes in a very generous portion!

The slow-simmered pork cartilage is tender all the way through—soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

“Sardine Beccafico (two pieces)” ¥500 (tax included)

The side dish “Sardine Beccafico” is a Sicilian Italian specialty featuring a fragrant, savory coating of herbed breadcrumbs. The little rolled-up shapes look adorable too!

There is also a great selection of rice-based side dishes, including onigiri and jūshī (Okinawan-style seasoned rice).

Another nice touch is the free, unlimited self-service sanpin tea (jasmine tea) available inside the restaurant!
Menu at “芦屋製麺所 がんじゅ〜”

The restaurant operates in two sessions—morning and lunchtime—with slightly different menus for each. Alcohol is also available, so it could be a good spot for a lunchtime drink!
