Exterior
It’s located in a shopping district and has long opening hours, so it’s easy to stop by.
It’s in the shopping arcade
Come to think of it, it seems like a lot of the stores that have food samples in these showcases are old-fashioned.
The retro showcase is sure to get you excited!
There are many menus outside the store. I’m excited.
Menu
In addition to soba, the menu offers a wide range of set meals, rice bowls, and a la carte dishes!
The happy problem of having so many menu items that it’s hard to decide!

Tempura and Zaru Soba

The noodles are black and have the unevenness that comes with being handmade, which is great!!
Just like in Shimane, the home of Izumo soba, soba is served with momiji oroshi (grated radish) instead of wasabi!
Momiji oroshi and soba noodles go great together!
The soba noodles are quite firm and chewy, with a nice aroma.
The uneven noodles have a non-uniform texture when you put them in your mouth, which is nice.

Tempura.
Two shrimp, eggplant, green pepper, pumpkin, and onion.
I’m so happy to have two shrimp!
Moreover, the shrimp are quite thick and satisfying to eat.
Crispy and delicious!
There is no tempura sauce included, so you will need to eat it with the soba noodle sauce.
This is also great, as the flavor of the tempura dissolves into the soup, making it increasingly rich and making the soba even more delicious!
The best!!!
Tempura eaten with soba soup is also delicious.
Conclusion
The menu is extensive and even includes hearty set meals , making it popular with students!
Another feature is that it caters to a wide range of ages, from young people to seniors .
I get the impression that there are a lot of office workers around lunchtime.
It’s open in the evenings too, so you can come here after work or for a meal out with the family.
This is a long-established soba restaurant that is welcoming to everyone and is easy to drop in with children.
Everyone, please go and check it out!
