Toyooka, Hyogo, Japan｜Toujou

Amazing soba experience, was told that it’s really traditional way of eating. Per serving is small, and I could see other patrons eating at least 10plates per person. View from the restaurant is great, facing the pond and clock. Really worth a visit.

There are many Izushi Sarasoba restaurants, but I went to Tojo-san because of the new soba noodles and the atmosphere of the restaurant. There are tatami rooms, tables, and terrace seats, but I chose the tatami room. I started with salt, then added soup stock, eggs, etc. to my taste. It was delicious and had a nice aroma of fresh soba. To pay, just say your number at the cash register. I wrote in my notebook how many cups I ate.

Pets are welcome on the terrace seats overlooking the clock tower and pond, but proper etiquette is required to prevent your dog from misbehaving. Of course, this is not a dog cafe, so you cannot sit in the seats, and you are not allowed to hold your child, so if your child cannot sit or lie down on the ground while eating, it is best to have them wait in the pet cart. I think. The Sarasoba started with moshio, then soba soup, grated yam, and raw egg, but it was very delicious.
