Irikunya Soki-tei | A Soki Soup Set Specialist in a Converted Old House (Irabu, Miyako)

"Irikunya Soki-tei" is a soki-soup set-meal specialist in Nagahama on Irabu Island, opened in June 2023. The interior, which the owner renovated themselves by DIY from an old house, is a calm space full of the warmth of wood with a high ceiling, with the comfort of visiting an island relative's home as its appeal. The menu is the single item of soki-soup set meal. You can enjoy soki that falls apart in the mouth, with bone-in rib meat of Okinawa-produced pork simmered slowly for over 2 hours with garlic, spring onion and soy sauce, then rested overnight to soak up the flavour. It comes with a small dish of Miyakojima-produced vegetables, a deeply flavoursome plate conveying careful handwork. It became a talking point when introduced on "Bananaman no Sekkaku Gourmet" in March 2025. As it is limited to 30 servings a day, booking or confirming before visiting is recommended.

Visiting tips & what to bring

As it is limited to 30 servings a day and ends once sold out, an early visit or advance booking/confirmation is reassuring. The menu is only the soki-soup set meal, so those with disliked ingredients should take note. Confirm the latest information on hours and temporary closures on Instagram or by phone. As it is a shop building, there is no concern about footing or shade, but being popular there can be a wait. Easy-to-walk clothing is fine.

For families with small children

The interior is a spacious space renovated from an old house, with a calm tatami-like atmosphere, a relatively comfortable shop even with small children aged 0 to 6. With gently seasoned handmade food and a small side dish, sharing is easy, while the menu is only the soki-soup set meal with no children's menu, and being centred on bone-in meat, care is needed in how to feed infants. Limited to 30 servings with possible waits when crowded, a visit in an early time slot is recommended.
