Kizugawa, Kyoto, Japan｜手打ち蕎麦 吉祥庵

``Handmade Soba Kisshoan'' is a soba restaurant where you can feel Wabi-Sabi. I visited **Handmade Soba Kisshoan**, a soba restaurant located in front of the gates of Joruriji Temple in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture. The interior of the restaurant is a renovated old private house from the Meiji period, and has a calm atmosphere. There are table seats and tatami seats, and this time I was guided to the table seat. It looks like the owner himself did some DIY work inside the store. The menu includes Seiro Soba (1,000 yen), Oroshi Soba (1,300 yen), and Herring Soba (1,500 yen). This time, I ordered grated soba. After a while, the grated soba was brought out. Soba noodles are thin and chewy, and go down easily. The soba has a rich aroma and you can enjoy the flavor. Also, the spicy daikon radish works well with the soup. Tsuyu is a simple seasoning that brings out the flavor of soba noodles. Overall, it was a very delicious and satisfying meal. Also, the couple who owned the store were very friendly and the store was very comfortable. Apparently, the soba noodles are made by the son of a sculptor before he goes to work in the morning. In addition, the husband is a former potter and is currently a leading expert in the field of creating the Heian period ivory craft ``Hakubai''! **comprehensive evaluation** ・Soba: ★★★★☆ ・Soup: ★★★★☆ ・Atmosphere: ★★★★☆ ・Customer service: ★★★★☆ **Recommendation level** ★★★★★ (out of 5 points) **summary** **Handmade Soba Kisshoan** is a soba restaurant located in Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture, which serves delicious soba noodles and a cozy atmosphere. Please be sure to visit when sightseeing in Kyoto.

The elegant building, which was relocated from the second floor of a private house from the early Meiji period, is full of highlights, including the decorative attic and the opening that the owner built as a hobby. There are two tables on the dirt floor, one for four people and one for two. Is there one desk in the parlor in the back? The contrast between the light coming in through the entrance and the dimness of the parlor was beautiful. Submerge plenty of grated daikon radish in the bonito-flavored soba soup and enjoy with the fresh soba noodles. The refreshing spiciness of the grated radish and the flavor of the soup passed through my nose. I was able to feel the hospitality of the elegant couple and had a pleasant lunch. It's located in Kizugawa City, but it's close to Nara. We recommend stopping by when visiting Joruriji Temple. There is a parking lot for Joruriji Temple.

I went to ``Handmade Soba Kisshoan'' near Joruriji Temple. The soba menu has three items: Seiro soba, Oroshi soba, and Nishin soba. Simple is the best! Seiro soba is also simple (lol) Soba, soup, wasabi! Simple soba noodles are the most delicious 😋 There are almost no star jumps. I thought the soba noodles were a little sweet after draining, but they were chewy and delicious🤤 The soup was sweet 😊 Grated wasabi is wasabi! It's not like he's making a strong statement, but he's a great supporting actor! The only restaurants that I thought had delicious wasabi were Hikoemon and Kisshoan! I think it's great for a craftsman to pay attention to even the supporting roles ☺️ The soba soup was richer than I expected considering I was the first customer today😊 Sobayu goes well with sweet soup! ! By the way, the number is quite small, so please be careful! It was delicious♪ Thank you for the meal😋
