The Do you know? column is wrong

[edit]

It is a shame to point out that the Do you know? column is wrong. Here I summarize the main points in order to avoid further misunderstanding.

  • First of all, Okinawa soba is a modern product. There was no such thing in Ryūkyū.
  • Ryūkyū's records contain some fragmentary references to some kinds of noodles, but no one proves that they evolved into Okinawa soba.
  • No source was cited by the original author Ginstrom (talk · contribs) in 2006[1]. I suspect that s/he, or his/her unspecified source, misunderstood a historical source in which its author, who was a very distant relative of the king, stated that he ate soba. Soba in this context refers to buckwheat noodles, not Okinawa soba.

Name section sources?

[edit]

The entire name section is missing sources and seems like hearsay. SquallyZ06 (talk) 14:09, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
