Yaeyama soba noodlesJan 10, 2021

Ishigaki cuisine for lunch. Main dish was soba noodles. Side dishes of pig's ear, goya & tuna, juushi flavored rice (じゅーしー), local seaweed, and brown sugar jelly (dessert). Pig's ear is chewy/crunchy, not really tasty, but has a lot of collagen, so it's a health food.Jan 10, 2021
