Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜八剣庵

This was my first visit, and I think the handmade soba noodles made by the friendly owner are exquisite. After the meal, my wife gave me cookies from a famous shop, which were also delicious. Business operations in 2023 will end at the end of September. When I asked the owner about his business plans for 2024, he laughed and said, ``I'm not feeling well, so if I'm still alive, I might open.'' Miraculously, I was able to enter the store without making a reservation this time, but the owner told me, ``If you make a reservation over the phone, I'll keep the soba for you,'' so next year, I'll make a reservation before I try the exquisite soba. I would like to enjoy it.

A reservation-only soba restaurant located in an unexplored area deep in the mountains! I finally managed to make a reservation, so I visited the store as soon as it opened! Mori soba with one menu choice only 800 yen! Donburi is ready in 10 minutes! It's said to be 100% soba, and it's the best soba with a good flavor and delicate taste.It comes with a seasoned butterbur and it's difficult to make a reservation at this price, but if I can make a reservation, I'll come again! By the way, the buckwheat flour is 100% produced in Kuromatsunai. Also, the staff and the general manager were friendly and provided the best hospitality.

・Mori soba 800 yen (100%) ・Yamame tempura soba 1200 yen (Limited to 20 meals a day) Open until the end of October every year First of all, the level of soba is too high! According to the proprietress, she uses buckwheat flour that costs twice as much as regular buckwheat flour, so she barely makes a profit.Even though it's 100% buckwheat flour, it didn't feel crumbly at all, and in fact, it was fresh and chewy, which I thought was exceptional! ! Apparently they go fishing and get the yamame trout. Cute size but delicious lol The vegetables are zucchini and pumpkin. Is zucchini tempura a trend? I've been eating it a lot this year, and the batter here is chewy, so I usually eat the crunchy ones, but the fresh, juicy sweetness of the chewy zucchini was a perfect match. Pumpkin is also incredibly sweet. After the meal, the landlady said, ``If you'd like, please have it.'' She served me dorayaki with pumpkin bean paste, which was wonderful ☺️ Have you made a reservation? I was asked this when I entered, so it seems better to do so! It takes about 40 minutes from Sapporo Station, so it's a little difficult to get there, but if you're going to Jozankei, you should definitely go! ! ! A must if you like soba.
