Today, I had a year crossing noodles, Toshikoshi Soba in Japanese. It is Japanese culture to eat Soba in New Year eve and this custom means lore that people can live a long life, “Long” is that Japanese noodle is long. Thus Japanese eat soba for wishing that they have a health next year. Okinawan usually has Okinawan Soba, is made with wheat flour, not Japanese soba, is made with buckwheat flour. And then Okinawan Soba is longer than Japanese, so they live long. lol
I went to Shinzan syokudo, sell Okinawan soba. This restaurant is old firm, have been in business more than 100 years. In my childhood, I used to go to see the factory, make noodles, is used by Shinzan syokudo. Therefore this restaurant’s noodles is a food of memories. But other restaurant’s Soba is better than this Soba, so today, the one customer who I don’t know said me in lip synchronization “O I Shi Ku Na I” means it is not good, but not bad. Don’t care! Even so, why I sometime go to there is tourist spot for me.
What people go to restaurant that taste is good is nice, also it is good to go to an indicating place.
