Standing along a national highway on Miyako Island, the standalone Maruyoshi Shokudo is renowned for a bowl topped with 2 large soki spare ribs cooked until so soft they slide effortlessly off the bone, accompanied by a pork bone and bonito dashi soup laced with a distinct garlic kick that balances a light texture with deep flavor. Preserving the traditional Miyako soba custom of placing toppings beneath the noodles, many guests pair the bowl with melt-in-the-mouth sanmainiku pork belly, tender tebichi pig trotters, or richly filled jushi seasoned rice. Adding tabletop curry powder or koregusu chili-infused awamori midway through the meal is another distinct way to enjoy soba native to the region. The fully non-smoking dining area features spacious tatami seating (zashiki) and a terrace, making it comfortable for visitors with children, while the system of taking a numbered ticket and lightning-fast service of 1 to 2 minutes keeps turnover smooth. With an evening budget of under ¥1,000, this diner continues to be cherished by travel visitors and local regulars alike.
