Tochigi Nikko-shi Koshiro 371

A soba restaurant in the main house of the Former Kato Residence, once owned by an honorary citizen of Imaichi City. The shop was created as a subsidy project in Tochigi Prefecture with the aim of revitalizing the village, by local volunteers from Koshiro bringing the fund. The entire process of growing, harvesting, and milling the buckwheat is carried out by the members of the local Koshiro Namegawa-an Soba Association, resulting in the freshest gensoba noodles available. The light flavor of the broth goes well with the flat, nicely textured noodles. The tatami floor mat seating looks out on a beautifully landscaped Japanese garden.
