Okinawa Soba are thick wheat noodles in a broth of kombu, katsuobushi flakes
and pork. Soba means buckwheat in Japanese but Okinawa Soba contains
no buckwheat. The government tried to force Okinawa to drop the name
on Okinawa Soba products after the reunification of Okinawa and Japan
in the 1970s. Okinawa resisted and the government eventually backed
down. Okinawa Soba is similar to ramen but with thicker noodles.
