Ryotsu Port
About two and a half hours after leaving Niigata Port, we arrived at Sado/Ryotsu Port.
As soon as you arrive, leave your bicycle bag (road bike) on the reserved shuttle bus.
The shuttle bus departure time was 13:00 and the current time was around 12:00, so I had just over an hour to spare.
After arriving at Sawada, the destination of the shuttle bus, there is a lot to do, such as canceling the train and checking in, so I think I will be a little busy, so I decided to have a light lunch at Ryotsu Port first.
Wandering around the souvenir shop, you decide what to eat.
In Ryotsu Port, near the ticket gate on the 2nd floor, there is a ``Boarding Restaurant Shiosai Ryotsu Branch', and on the 1st floor you can eat ramen and rice bowls '
Donburiya DON”, the cafe’s “
maSani cofee” is there.



In addition, in one corner of the souvenir shop there is a sake tasting corner where you can enjoy sake from Sado, and Tenryo Sake Sake Brewery'sSADO SAKE PORT” and I am tempted to drink alcohol.
However, I have plans to ride my bike after this, and I'm going to abstain from alcohol for a week before tomorrow, so I'll hold back on drinking even though I'm crying tears of joy.
It's the day before the Sado Long Ride, and I'm in the process of increasing my carbs, so I need to eat a low-fat, high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet.
This time, I think I can make the most ideal meal for increasing carbs.Boarding Restaurant Shiosai Ryotsu Branch” I decided to visit.
Nagamo soba
What you can eat at this restaurant is ``Nagamo soba (740 yen)” There is only one choice.
On top of the kake soba noodles, there is a ``Nagamo (Akamoku)This is a simple soba noodle topped with seaweed called ``.
Soba Noodles
I ate soba on the ferry earlier.Iwanori soba” Similarly, it is a shredded type.

Since it is cut into pieces, it feels a little difficult to slurp.
Tsuyu (Dipping Broth)
I also ate tsuyu on the ferry.Iwanori soba'' Similarly, the flavor of mirin is strong and the sweetness of mirin is effective, so the flavor of the soup stock feels modest.
I haven't eaten it in Niigata Port, but it seems that soba and soup are common, at least on the ferry and in Ryotsu Port.
long
This long piece has an overwhelming presence.
Because it is sticky, soba noodles that are difficult to slurp become easier to slurp.
And the crunchy texture is a nice accent.
In addition, the seaweed's soup stock and umami are strong and strong, so the soup stock adds a lot of flavor to a soup that used to have a modest amount of stock.
Impressions
I ate Nagamo soba last year as well, and it was still delicious this time.
This year, in 2024, I became interested in standing soba and have visited various stores, but the number one soba at this point is Nagamo Soba.
It's an ordinary type of soba, but the addition of nagamo on top makes it quite delicious.
Inside the ferry, ``Nagamo soba” is not sold and can only be eaten at Niigata Port or Ryotsu Port, so please be aware of this.
We highly recommend you to try it when you visit Sado.
