Sanmainiku means "three-layered pork" and is served like Soki Soba. An essential element in describing Sanmainiku Soba is Rafute, a classic Okinawan pork dish. A larger version of Sanmainiku, Rafute is simmered for hours with soy sauce, sugar, and awamori. It looks like very fatty meat, but it's not as fatty as you might imagine. In fact, it is simmered for four or more hours to become well seasoned and to eliminate the fat, with the end result that the simmered Rafute melts in your mouth. |
