Amazing soba, 100% buckwheat, great people, lovely place. Make sure to come in advance, they don't take reservations and there is a little definitely worth waiting!

Arrived past 11 o'clock, but 3 groups had already entered. Wrote name on the guide list and waited outside. Entered immediately. Ordered tenzaru (large portion), cold shrimp tempura soba (large portion). Served in about 10 minutes. Tenzaru is first eaten with salt. Soba doesn't feel like 100% soba, but the throat texture is slippery. Chopsticks don't stop, finished in a flash. Next, tempura is served. Hot, crispy, and crunchy, served immediately after frying. Because it's seasonal vegetables, there were shishito, eggplant, turnip, shiitake mushroom, shrimp, but I was impressed by the sweetness of the turnip. Cold shrimp tempura soba is bukkake, happy to have two hot shrimp tempura. Satisfying lunch, thank you for the meal. There are many other menus, so that's for another time's pleasure.

I enjoyed cold tenzaru. The soba feels like 100% soba with a chewy taste, and the volume also feels a little more. I was able to enjoy it deliciously including soba water. The tempura ingredients are also very delicious, but maybe because of the personality of this shop's frying method, the oil didn't drain much, and the batter was soggy, it wasn't my taste. The interior is a very sophisticated space, and the outdoor toilet is also very clean with a modern interior. I want to visit again, but maybe something other than tenzaru...

3/21 Visited after noon, ate tenzaru. Thin and beautiful soba, but the chewiness is really strong, there is a taste when chewed. Soba skin is relatively little? maybe, the taste when entering the mouth was not strong, but because the chewiness is strong, when chewed well, the aroma of soba comes from behind, I was surprised. Also, tempura with thin and light batter, crumbles crispy, it was the best frying level where the deliciousness of ingredients is locked in the batter. Shrimp with head, sharp thorn parts have been removed, in a state where everything can be eaten, head miso is an accent for light soba, it was interesting. Ingredients that absorb oil well such as eggplant and zucchini, which would usually feel greasy, the inside is fresh, the sweet moisture that comes out of vegetables and the oil of the batter mixed in the mouth, it was very delicious. I live in Shiga Prefecture and rarely can visit, but I want to drive again for the sake of this soba. -------- There are 2 female staff, the technique of the person frying tempura is amazing as mentioned above, but it seems she also has a wide view so as not to make customers wait, I thought she is a person who can work very well. Basically have to wait outside the shop, but groups take the menu a few minutes before entering, and in a state where they can eat immediately after arriving, and the waiting situation inside and outside the shop was controlled. -------- The shop renovated an old house, there are magnificent beams, there is taste. The spacious garden is also equipped with a camping site, there are toilets, showers, washing places, I thought it would be comfortable even if visiting for camping. The surroundings are mountains, stars seem to look beautiful, I want to solo camp in the summer...

【Visit January 12, 2026】 Weather: 3℃ Temperature: Sunny Humidity: 45% Was it born in these last few years... I didn't expect such a good shop to be built. Etanbetsu (Asahikawa, Hokkaido) soba specialist? This is a raw ground soba shop limited to raw ground soba. Etanbetsu soba is sweet and delicious, so I visited with expectations. This time I ordered Dazaru (large soba portion) and cold Oroshi. 🟣 Dazaru 《Soba-kiri》 As introduced, Etanbetsu soba with raw grinding. Mixed flour? Stars are scattered evenly. Tied firmly with cold water, the mouth texture is slippery. When I start chewing, I am surprised by the chewiness like 8:2 soba. When I start chewing, the taste/aroma of soba is restrained, but if I continue to chew about 5 times, the wild and rough aroma will penetrate. Because it is a period where soba can still be called new soba, I was covered by the outstanding soba taste. As I continue to chew, a wave of sweetness will press. Soba-kiri with strong chewiness gradually increases elasticity, and when swallowing when it becomes like mochi, the esophagus is stimulated and rejoices. Good, isn't it, Etanbetsu new raw ground soba, it's unavoidable if it becomes addictive. 《Soba-tsuyu》 Solid slightly sweet. The unity between kaeshi and dashi is excellent, becoming one liquid. Because it is quite thick, please be careful with the amount of soba-kiri dipped. Because of the synergistic effect between the sweetness of soba-kiri and the sweetness of soba-tsuyu, the atmosphere in the mouth became like it was going to melt and I was happy. 《Yakumi》 Three types: white green onion, grated radish, wasabi. Grated radish has restrained aroma and taste but is juicy. Wasabi, unexpectedly, is a mysterious wasabi taste that makes you feel sweetness while feeling spiciness. White green onion is very strong, the crispy texture is excellent and the aroma is amazing. A very comfortable aroma running around inside the nasal cavity. 《Soba-yu》 Straight type soba-yu. Although straight, because of the nature of soba, there is a thick feeling and a little thickness. The aroma also remains strong. The freshness of the taste when combined with soba-tsuyu is worth noting. This punching power with straight type is amazing, just, amazing. I am impressed. 🟠 Cold Oroshi By default, grated radish, seaweed, white green onion, tenkasu, and seaweed are added, but I asked for no seaweed. Grated radish has restrained aroma and taste and low stimulation, but because it is very juicy, it is easy to wrap around soba-kiri. Among the toppings, the one that attracted the most attention was tenkasu. The moment it entered my mouth, I understood, this must be the taste of this shop's tempura that is not wrong... So. Just with tenkasu, I understand enough. Because it is tempura tenkasu that stores such talent, this cold oroshi soba was also like soba from another dimension world. I feel like I got rare oroshi soba. Should have come faster... So, I will come again.
