This is a long-established soba restaurant where you can enjoy Togakushi Soba, one of the three most famous local soba in Japan. The buckwheat noodles are made using a method unique to this region and are usually accompanied by spicy daikon(white Oriental radish), a local specialty, as a condiment, homemade pickles, and tempura made from seasonal vegetables and wild plants. Tempura of seasonal vegetables and mushrooms are freshly fried, crispy and very tasty with soba. The flavor of the soba noodles is also wonderful, and the depth of flavor of the soba sauce and the combination of the two is amazingly good.
This restaurant is very famous in the area and it is always very crowded, so to make the most of your time, I recommend that you fill in your name and the time of your visit on the reception sheet at the entrance of the restaurant before it opens, visit the Togakushi Shrine and other tourist spots in the area first, and then come back after it opens to be admitted first.
Also, please note that this store only accepts cash as payment.
Oh, and there was one more thing I mustn't forget. There is a huge cedar tree right next to the restaurant that is over 800 years old, and eating soba while looking at it through the window and thinking about the history of this place is also very elegant.
