あとから口コミを見たら皆さんの評価が高くてびっくりしました。注文して10分経たないくらいで出てきましたが、茹で過ぎ(？)なのかべちゃっとしててコシがなく口に合わなかったです。あと短く千切れたのが多くて食べづらい。みなさんが食べてる蕎麦と本当に同じものだったのか疑問に思うくらいでした。

"A soba noodle restaurant located an eight-minute drive from the Tsuchiura-kita interchange on the Joban Expressway. Here diners can enjoy Tokyo-style soba noodles lovingly prepared using select ingredients. The buckwheat flour the restaurant uses to make its noodles is specially ordered and has a faintly sweet and fragrance. Tsuyu dipping sauce is the foundation of any soba noodle restaurant, and this establishment offers two varieties-a strongly flavored karajiru sauce made with high grade katsuobushi (dried bonito) and natural konbu, and a more lightly flavored amajiru sauce made with a blend of standard katsuobushi (dried bonito) and dried top quality katsuobushi (dried bonito). The ""Hirame Tenzaru"" set, which includes crispy flounder tempura and chilled zaru soba noodles, is one of the restaurant's most popular menu selections."

Ive been to this restaurant for 25 years. This is one of the best Soba restaurants in Tsukuba. Not only its Soba noodle is great but also their Tempura is wonderful as well.

Ibaraki Pref. Mitoshi Migawa 3-720-1

"A soba restaurant located a five-minute drive from Kairakuen Park's Kobun Bridge. Due to the presence of Mt. Yamizo and the Abukuma Highlands, the local area is one of the most fertile farming regions in northern Ibaraki Prefecture. The Naka River and Kuji River running through the area are also rich in minerals. Accordingly, the flavor, fragrance, and texture of the Hitachi Aki buckwheat grown in the area is exceptional. The father and son who run this restaurant make use of this prized buckwheat to make their noodles, alongside other ingredients grown in Mito and Ibaraki Prefecture as well as their polished skills. Particularly recommended are the ""Inaka Zarusoba"" cold noodles which present the simple flavor of the buckwheat used, and the ""Tokusei Mito Ume Curry Soba"" noodles made with Mito-grown turmeric."
