Battle of the "name" Okinawa Soba

Sun will not call the "near" to "Okinawa soba" was not going to happen in reality and in about ten years ago from now. Room would also be fair trade from Lee County have been established for the purpose of a fool and making the tissue between peers in the year Showa fifty-one reached the fourth year after returning to the "raw noodles cooperative Okinawa Prefecture" claim has occurred as a name to "Okinawa soba" to. The contents of the complaint, was that at the point of view that the violation does not contain "buckwheat flour" in the near Okinawa. In fact, the name of the definition of raw materials if you use the name of Okinawa soba is called "buckwheat" have been established to "Terms of raw noodles national fair trade" 100% wheat flour "... of buckwheat, buckwheat flour is mixed thirty percent or more was a conflict with ... "that it is.
~Tsu Love big thing. Say that mysterious unnamed noodles suddenly become accustomed to certain things "if buckwheat vinegar" until now had been going to happen. Ken-ichi Doi president of the union at the time the raw noodles, red Rachi not even go to the room to negotiate fair trade to go to Okinawa General Secretariat headquarters in Tokyo Mita president of a federation of cooperatives also attended the national noodle (then) was followed over a few months every day is sprinkled with snow falling in the contents of the Sun and will be described. There worth of negotiation, of fifty years known as 1947 well "Okinawa soba" has been approved. However, approval was limited and means that can be used only in the prefecture.

In addition, the negotiation is the wall of the "contract" was continued, but the bright idea of ​​revival was born to where you were to give up the mid-thick deep-rooted in seeking formal authorization of nationwide scale. It was a means to register and say in the "Okinawa soba home" as a special name has been entrusted with the Fair Trade Commission National Council for Fair Trade in raw noodles (deliberations and reports). Been approved to add the official view, such as home-specialty-specialties in the appendix "Enforcement Regulations of fair competition on the display of noodle raw" ten days in July ten years fifty-three Showa after three years after the start of negotiations this plan paid off " has been registered with "authentic Okinawa soba. Laymans terms is that if that was obtained by this sunny family register.

Value of the previous registration is now realistic and greeted the dawn of a full-scale entry into the mainland market by the "near Okinawa, mainland export formal authorization" five days in April 1947 to sixty years. It, see what you feel strongly and are designed as "authentic Okinawan soba and" Pomp and Circumstance to the exterior of the product outside the box. Considered was to design products such as "Okinawa Soba" name aka small towards the corner maybe to write large or "ramen wind Okinawa" and "Chinese noodles Okinawan" If you keep to leave the claim at the time of year fifty-one Showa You. Can you imagine as a noodle dish with a history of four hundred years as a food court of the Ryukyu dynasty is said to be separated by a mere part of the Chinese noodles has nothing, not even a historical position will be dressed nondescript pathetic. This event is intended as an event that should be characteristic tenacity to defend with passion and danger of extinction from a hair between the history and tradition of food culture of Okinawa as well as registration of the name issue and simply say.

Mission is to decorate the new history that is given to us, and learn from looking at the historical tradition. We will continue to strive to "work" that can be said with confidence to the people of posterity.
