Classic mazemen or spicy Taiwanese-style mazemen; finish the remaining sauce with rice
The story behind the bowl
Opened in Naha in 2012, Mahoroba grew from its owner's repeated trials with mixed noodles. The shop's house bowl brings together fragrant fish-dashi oil, spices and vegetables, with condiments that let diners tune the flavor themselves.
Before you go: This is brothless mazemen, not Okinawa soba. Mix in the house chili oil, yuzu pepper or kelp vinegar gradually, then finish the sauce with rice.
