Katano, Osaka, Japan｜手打そば乃田

We post reviews in both Japanese and English. I comment this restaurant in Japanese and English. If you want to read English comment, please scroll down. I stopped by during lunch time on a weekday. It wasn't too crowded, probably because it was a weekday, but customers were coming in one after another. I had mori soba and duck soup soba (tsukemen). Mori Soba: Easy to eat for 100% soba, and the flavor is perfect. The wasabi wasn't too spicy, I thought it could have been a little more spicy. Duck soup soba: The duck meat in the tsukemen is soft and delicious. Personally, I found the soba noodles to be cold and the soup stock to be lukewarm, so I thought it was half-baked and a bit of a waste. Still, it was delicious enough. Soba soup: It was delicious to drink with the mori soba soup, but it went really well with the tsukemen of the duck soup soba. I can drink as many cups as I want. There's nothing else near Koritsu Station, so I feel like it's a waste to go all the way, but I want to go there again because I can enjoy delicious soba noodles. I visited this restaurant for the lunch in workday. This restaurant was not crowded, but customers came continuously. I ordered "Morisoba" and "Kamojirusoba (with tsukemen)" to share them with my wife. Morisoba is traditional Japanese cold buckwheat noodle. Kamojirusoba (with tsukemen) is cold soba with hot duck soup. Morisoba: In this restaurant, they use only buckwheat flower, but I could eat it easily. And the wasabi is not spicy. In my opinion, it is better that that wasabi is a little bit spicier. Kamojirusoba (with tsukemen): The duck was too delicious in the tsukemen. The taste was much good, but in my opinion, cold buckwheat noodle didn’t suit for hot duck soup. Sobayu: I mixed Sobayu, which is used water for boiling the buckwheat noodle, with buckwheat soup or duck soup, Sobayu changed to delicious drink. Especially, I recommend to mixed Sobayu with duck soup. I could drink a lot of cups of them. Unfortunately, there are not good sightseeing place near this restaurant, but I will visit here to have good buckwheat noodle in future.

I have used it several times. I often have mori soba, duck jibu-ni, kata no sakura, and mixed rice with jakoto perilla. It's a famous store, so I don't write reviews myself, First of all, the vessel is beautiful. Even though it is 100% buckwheat, it is not thinly sliced ​​and has a strong scent of soba. Wasabi is delicious. Sobayu is really delicious. It's so delicious that you want to put it in a water bottle and take it home. If I was told that I would use this soba-yu for hydration in the future, it would be so delicious that I would think it would be the best. When I was a child, I didn't like soba, but when this restaurant first opened, I had this soba. This is the shop that got me started.

Is the nearest station Katano station? I visited by bicycle from Hirakata. I arrived right after it opened, but it was already full and there were two groups waiting, which shows how popular it is.
