Yanbaru Soba

Yanbaru Soba on Route 84 in Izumi, Motobu, serves soki soba in a pork-and-bonito broth from 11:00 until it sells out, Wednesday to Sunday.
Rurubu and Mapple both describe a queue before opening on most days, and the shop closes once the broth is gone, so aim to be there at 11:00. The broth is pork and bonito drawn out slowly, and the soki arrives in big pieces that a September 2026 reviewer named as the reason to come. The short menu centres on soki soba and sanmai-niku soba, and you eat at tables or on tatami. Rurubu puts it about 16 km from the Kyoda interchange, which makes it the classic Route 84 lunch between Nago and Motobu.
What to order
- Soki soba for the thick sweet-simmered rib meat
- Sanmai-niku soba if you prefer pork belly
