Polite staff and nice ambience. Mushroom soba was very tasty but the tempera for soba was a bit too oily to both me and my husband liking

固く太い田舎蕎麦

土曜日だったが雪が降り寒かったのでいつもより空いていた、コロナも関係しているのかな… 先ずはラガー中瓶と鴨ネギ焼き、くどき上手や十四代などの冷酒はあったが寒かったので東置賜郡の高畠の米鶴を熱燗で貰う。寒かったがやっぱり固く太い田舎蕎麦を味わいたいたく冷たい蕎麦とろを注文、最後に熱い蕎麦湯を頂き帰途。久しぶりの山形の田舎蕎麦、大変美味しゅうございました。
