seasonal peakAll year roundIn recent years, bread, suba (Okinawa soba) noodles, craft beer, and many other products made with Okinawa-grown wheat have been emerging and attracting attention as souvenirs. The catalyst for this trend was the success of Okinawaken Mugi Seisan Kumiai Co., Ltd. in 2019 in branding local wheat flour as Shimamugi Kana-san. Today, branded wheat is grown in various places, including Uruma City on Okinawa Main Island (the “Uruma Mugi” brand) and on Ie Island (the “Iejima Komugi” brand). Grown organically without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, Okinawa wheat is characterized by its distinctive aroma unique to whole-grain flour. Wheat flour in conveniently sized bags, products such as suba (Okinawa soba) noodles and pasta, and wheat-based snacks like sweets and chips are now available and can be taken home as souvenirs.See restaurants where you can eat this ingredient
