This soba shop, open since 1912, hand-makes soba with select ingredients. The dashi broth they use has not changed since the beginning. It's in a remodeled kominka (old Japanese-style house) private house that is 130 years old, and in addition to tables they have traditional open-hearth rooms that preserve a sense of history. We recommend the Shotaro Kaiseki meal, with an appetizer, steamed dish, soba crepe, and soba noodles.

お目当ての有名店が早々に完売で閉めてしまい、途方に暮れていた所、観光案内所の人がこちらを薦めてくれました。新型ウィルスの影響か、土曜の昼下がりもすいていましたが、その分落ち着いてゆったりおそばを楽しめました。田舎そばの天せいろは、蕎麦の香りも良く、こしもあって好みの風味でした。添えられた天ぷらもどっさり。店の方も明るくフレンドリーでした。

This restaurant offers noodles made from soba ground, kneaded, and boiled with heart. They use whole grain soba from Niigata and Fukui ground early every morning so that it doesn't lose fragrance, and quickly finish it into soba for fresh eating. We recommend the Zarusoba & Koagedashi meal set with agedashi fried tofu made with Gokayama tofu.

Hand-made chewy soba noodles were delicious! I appreciate that the soba noodles for warm soup dishes are thicker than the normal-width soba noodles in cold dishes. The reason is because once boiled...

茅葺屋根ではないので、比較的後から建ったのかな?頂いたのは『ホットコーヒー(500円)』器がまたお洒落です。コーヒーは…ごく普通な印象ですが…それでもこの雰囲気、この静けさ。妙に優雅な気分に浸れたました。帰り際、店主と暫しの会話。５月一杯閉鎖してて数日前にオープンした五箇山集落。客足は今一つ二つだそうで。静けさの中、えも言えぬ静けさに何だか哀愁を感じてしまいました。

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
