長野市の善光寺表参道にあるそば屋さんです。店名の「クイチ」にちなみ、つなぎがかなり少ないそばが味わえます。個人的にはつなぎが少ない方が風味が増すので好きなんですけどね。信州人は基本的にざるそばですが、温かいそばのメニューも充実していて観光客にもオススメです。

蕎麦は当然美味しく頂けましたが、天ぷらの揚がり方が、衣も薄くカラッして温野菜を食べている様で食感もよく美味しく頂けました！サクサク感が好きな方は同意頂けないかも知れませんが、、、

開田高原で何軒かあるうちの蕎麦屋の中でクルマが置きやすいのでその点はポイントが高いお店です。昨今値段がどんどん上がる（かけ蕎麦で930円）のですがお味の方は進歩は無い様です。出汁の取り方が悪く（ケチっているのか）蕎麦の素材をスポイルする傾向かと思います。案の定客の入りも過去に比べて少々悪くなっているようです。春の行楽シーズンの週末の昼時にすんなり入れる（先客は居ませんでした）状態でした。蕎麦の大盛...

茹で加減があまりにもひどく、味云々ではありません。蕎麦がきに切れ目が入っている？はさすがに言い過ぎか、という感じ。注文後に娘に「こんなところでうどんを頼むなんて」などと余計なことを言いましたが、うどんが正解なんですね。

Nagano Pref. Kitasakugunkaruizawamachi Nagakura Shiozawa 746

Located in Karuizawa Town, Kitasaku County, Nagano Prefecture, this soba restaurant’s charm is its space which utilizes the warmth and quality of wood. They grind carefully selected domestic soba seeds into three different types, offering “sarashina soba” (first), “oraga soba” (second), and “inaka soba” (third) as piled soba (mori soba). There are limited quantities of “ishiusuhiki soba” which uses marunuki soba seeds ground in a stone mill. You can compare “sarashina soba” and “oraga soba” in the “aimori soba,” so it is popular, but the a la carte menu is also great, with tempura, and Japanese char and such available.

Since its founding, this home-grower of soba in Asama foothills has been dedicated to local production-local consumption, as well as safety. It has been featured in a variety of media due to its efforts and delicious results. The soba is a 70% soba blend handed down since Hidehisa Sengoku, the first Lord of Shinshu Komoro clan. This percentage is said to be the best for health. The most highly rated dish would be the “walnut soba” eaten with a sauce meticulously ground from carefully-selected walnuts.
